After joining, members are given passworded access to a secure members area of this website which is full of useful information and female friendly motoring tips. After registering in FOXY Forum (a further security precaution) members can then ask the helpdesk for motoring advice and support, post details about their latest experiences (good bad or ugly) and help others where they can.

This is neither a public website nor a source of content for a motoring column in a magazine. Instead it is a genuine, friendly and club-oriented online service providing well-intentioned and informed advice, supplemented by member feedback, for the benefit of all members who might like to know the answer. All members sign up to FOXY's Club Rules about etiquette so this is a highly effective and relevant support service when needed, rather than a social chatroom.

Any female who is coping with unexpected motoring stress or facing very expensive motoring bills will find FOXY a genuine source of female friendly, moneysaving advice and sympathetic support when they need it most.

Typical questions range from practical advice about car maintenance, what to do when your car lets you down, where to find the best car insurance deals for women, which car is the best in its category, who to contact for reliable garage services and what is a fair price to pay. Here are some recent examples from the Helpdesk call log.

• Can you beat £120 for a replacement n/s rear window which has been vandalised?
• I need a good local garage in Surbiton after a dodgy experience recently...
• Can you help me sort this insurance claim out?
• Is my heated windscreen faulty or is this normal?
• What happens if the battery on your remote key fob dies?
• Is the warranty invalid if no servicing seems to have been done?
• How long do tyres last?
• My Celica appears to be eating fanbelts, according to my dealer. Am I being ripped off?
• My car will be unused from November to April without anyone there to turn the engine over and a new battery. Do I disconnect the battery?
• I have recently bought a Peugeot 206 X reg with 69k miles on the clock and the engine is now making a strange whining/creaking noise. Any suggestions?

Open Mondays to Fridays 9am to 5pm and Saturdays 9am to 1pm, members can contact the helpdesk by email and via this website.
