    ~Damn Car insurance on the cup~

    Shop around, try Privilege - they charge the same Cup or not, some insurers are putting the Cups up to 2 groups higher than a FF (or not covering as per greenlight), as they have a much high claim rate than then FF. Will only get worse, as they get cheaper, they will fall into even more...

    what happens in a 50/50 case?

    In a 50/50 each party pays 50% of the other parties costs. So your insurers pay 50% of his repair cost, excess, injury claim etc, his insurers pay the other 50%. His insurers pay 50% of yours, and your insurers pay other 50% (assuming your fully comp). Will not really change if you car is a...

    insuring a daily runner and a weekend toy?????

    The prob you have is having 2 very different cars to insure, and they are probably better off with 2 different inusrers. Options: Get policy on Pug, using NCB. But using a company who will temporarily allow you to add Clio as 2nd car to same policy on temporary basis (not all companies will...

    Overseas Driving Cover

    Your insurers are talking BS. Ring them and tell them they are in breach of the First EU Directive on Motor Insurance. Simply this means any car insurance policy issued in any EU country (such as the UK) must cover you to drive in any other EU country - however, this cover is only the...

    Insurance and time held my licence

    Be honest, tell them now!! If you have a claim, they will likely ask for a photocopy of your licence, fail to provide this and they will put you on conference call with the DVLA to give permission for them to release the details to the ins co. Fail to do this and the will simply avoid your...

    182 brake pad/disc combos - opinions!

    I have been running DS2500 on Brembro hi-carbon discs for about 8-10 months, and they are very good. Did squeal a fair amount when 1st fitted, but once re-fitted properly squealing fairly uncommon, and if had time could probably stop all together. No idea where these tales of killer dust...

    A cautionary tale about Highway (robbery) Insurance underwriters

    He's one unlucky guy! Highway are right up to a point, mechanical failure is never covered. However, the resultant damage should be covered. If, for example you have a blow out, and crash into a tree, if you're comp, they should repair the all the damage, except the tyre that blew out -...
