Guys, I have been trying to get an extended warranty for my 2012 Ford fiesta, but every warranty company I have tried (AA, RAC, Warranty wise) says my car has to be less than 12 years old. The mileage on the car is 57k.
Please what other option do I have? |

Hi People,
Please I am in dire need of a driving instructor in Leeds. I have done driving lessons in Bradford, however, the earliest test date I could get is sometime in July. I have changed to a closer date (23rd of this month) and just need an instructor in Leeds for about 3-5 hours lesson so as to familiarise myself with the route. The test is for an automatic car and I already have 5 years experience back home.
Please recommend a good instructor as I don't want to move dates. I have contacted a few driving schools from my search online and they said they don't take in candidates with less than a month to the driving test.
Please please. |

My only issue with CeX is their exploitative tendencies. CeX will buy an iPhone for £100 from a customer, and sell same for £250. I would still prefer Facebook marketplace (with eyes wide open and only pay after I have collected and tested the item, never ever ever bank transfer). Or eBay. |

Hi people,
Please where is the best place to buy an iPhone (new or refurbished ) here in the UK. Someone mentioned back market a couple of days ago, not too sure. Which is better to buy? A friend in Nigeria is asking to know whether it is better to buy here in UK and ship down or buy in Nigeria.
Thank you. |

Thank you. You got a very good deal. My search begins. Tenski:
Abeg no vex.
I searched on Autotrader and CarGurus but got mine on Autotrader. The car dealership is close to where i live. Rang them up and went there. The sales man gave me the keys to test drive while holding on to my license. The car drives like a dream. All major checks were done. The price was £6,800 but i negotiated it down to £5,600. The negotiation took a long process but they finally accepted but the best they could do is give me 3 months warranty on the car.
Specs 1.2 litre engine 2015 model 21,232 Miles 2 keys Full service History MOT and Full service done for free
Just as Oga Lexus and some others advised, i paid half the amount with my brothers Credit card just for a little protection. While i transferred the other half to them.
Facebook too many scammers Gumtree same thing Ebay most cars i found on there were far away
Any questions abeg ask, thanks

Hi guys Please I need help. I was just catching up on the thread and realised I have made a mistake on my mum's visa application.
In the part where it asked how much she would be contributing, I inputted the amount I will be sponsoring her with and also same amount in the how much your sponsor will be helping out with.
Her biometric is on Friday and I am yet to upload all her documents.
Can I address this issue in her cover letter please? I plan on uploading her documents this night.

Well.. that was not my case. I have been in the UK for over a year now. So I don't know. OGINNISM1234:
They have updated the questions they asked during partner's application.
Now you must prove that you have been living together at a particular address for at least 2 years.
Or
Provide explanation why you have not been living together for 2 years.

For me, I applied for visa for me and my spouse 2 days after we got married and only provided 3 wedding pictures and our marriage certificate. We didn't live together so we both used the addresses of where we both stayed before getting married. I didn't provide any chat history or exchange between us even though we had courted for 2 years prior to getting married. Willydean:
Good day everyone I got married 4 months ago what documents do I need to attach to process my visa that me and my wife has been together for more than two years kindly advise thanks. 1 Like 1 Share |

Thank you Goke for the clarity. Like I stated, it was what i assumed as I didn't know why. Goke7:
That’s not true, with your permanent driver license from the uk you are allowed to drive or exchange your license in Canada and the US and they drive on the right in North America and not on the left like uk. If you say our not too transparent licence process in Nigeria is the problem then I agree. |

I am not shying away from any truth or using emotions. I just made an assumption which I stated. That's what I thought. Tier4Dependant:
Most of the countries allowed to exchange licenses drive on the same hand as Nigeria 😂😂😂😂
We all know the reason, why are we shying away from the truth. ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png)

I think the reason why the automatic swap does not apply to Nigerian drivers license is because of the right hand driving thing. In Nigeria, it's a left hand drive so we drive on the right, and it's the opposite for UK. Most swaps I have seen are countries with right hand driving as well.
It will take some getting used too to drive on UK roads when you just arrive, and if we are being honest, most of us did not learn the right way to drive. The reorientation is necessary. 2 Likes |

Well mine made it clear to me that their recruitment is been handled by an international recruitment firm, and the registration fee is 1400 pounds. I sent someone to confirm from the company over there is it was legit or not, and after everything I paid and the rest was history..
