On the lookout for a new car in the future probably going down to PCP route but having one of these one account mortgages where i can take the full amount for the car (have paid off large proportion off my house)and pay for it over my own terms. I would keep the monthly payments high to pay off sooner rather than later.

If i'm honest i would like to keep my car and mortgage payments separate.

Would appreciate your financial views.....

Do what works best for you. If paying cash and adding it to mortgage works do that.
There are many ways to fund a car. Each one works for the individual at the time of purchase, but things change.

are you planning on keeping the car for any length of time? may be worth regular car finance if you plan to hand it back etc.

Also dpends on the rate that your 'one mortgage' is going to charge you for the funds, if its low ie below 3% and you are comfortable you can clear the debt in say 2 years before rates really rise, then do that, in all honest wherever you borrow the money from will charge, and you can always take a loan later to put the money back into the house if need be.

The cheapest option wins for me, whatever that is to you.

If you are looking at 0% PCP deals, then even better.
