    Can't find this in a search so..

    The AXA blurb on the back of the Certificate of Insurance says
    5 Vehicles, or Classes of Vehicles, the use of which is covered
    ( a ) The Vehicle bearing registration number XX X XXXXX
    ( b ) Any Motor Car (or Motor Cycle) being driven, with the consent of the ower, by the Insured, provided such vehicle does not belong to him/her and is not hired to him/her under a hire purchase agreement.
    Does this mean I'm covered for third party if I test drive an uninsured car with the owners consent ?

    Gearbox Question
    In a test drive in a car ( it was insured ;) ) was told that an adjustment needed to be made to stop the lever moving too far sideways on one of the gears, is this plausible ? , is it a fairly simple adjustment or is like a million hours of labour to get at it to make the adjustment - or could there be another problem ?

    It is plausible that the linkage could need adjusting which shouldn't be an expensive job. Also, sometimes there is a bush in the linkage that wears and needs replacing and when it is replaced the gears feel far less sloppy. I would say get a decent mechanic to look at it for you. Because it could be something else that is causing the sloppiness. Something in the gearbox internals i.e. expensive.
