To get around the 'insufficient space' problem when installing apps

Prerequisites:

You need to be rooted
Install BusyBox (The app is actually an installer for a low-level linux tool. After installing the app from the store, you need to run it and then click on Install to install/update to the latest version of busy box)
Install 'Cache Fixer'

Steps to fix the cache

Run Cache Fixer
Under 'Move and resize your cache folder to', select 'Data'
A slider bar will appear. Drag it all the way to the right (say 100MB)
Make sure that Force ext4 FileSystem appears and stays checked
Click on 'Move cache'
The Cache Fixer tool will be granted superuser access a couple of times and eventually it should pop up a window saying 'Cache moved' (or something to that effect)
Go back to the play store and install the app that was causing the problem

The cache fixer apps states that the move is only temporary, and will only last until a system reboot (in our case, until you turn the car off). Next time you install a large app, you'll have to go through the process again.

I haven't used it to install TomTom etc mentioned here, but the process did allow me to install Angry Birds Star Wars, which I previously had trouble with.
