Tesco only allow you to have a few mods don't they?

Quinn Direct are good if your young and wanna mod your car.

Ive got quite afew mods declared... They didn't say anything about limited amount of mods. But they won't insure a 182 when i get one. So Elephant it is!

I had in excess of £6k+ worth of mods with Tesco.

No one could match there price and they covered replacements on a like for like basis :)

I honestly didn't know that, I thought they were similar to Direct Line but had a limit to how many modifications you could do to your car. Tesco is now back on the list of insurers to check :)

Greenlight insurance said I can mod anything I want for free as long as I declare the mods and the mods dont increase power above 20bhp.

National Farmers Union - Cheap? Nah, keep jogging. Really isnt cheap, ask susanne about that. PS - Dad works for them, even with his discount my insurance was still 1000. No thanks.

Quinn Direct - Avaliable to all. Muchos Cheapo.

Im with direct line, called them to declare my exhaust and they said they didnt allow mods. They excepted it though when i told them i only bought it for the lifetime warrenty ;)

wont stick with direct line for long tbh

I had the same problem with Direct Line when I was insured with them. Changed to Adrian Flux as a result and they were miles cheaper anyway!
 
Direct Line told me I couldn't lower my 172.

So I didn't lower it ;) ;)

I replaced the standard springs which had conveniently corroded with pattern parts that some how seemed to make the car sit slightly lower but I was informed they were made to OEM spec... or very close. ;)
They seemed to love that and said ok.

There's always one!! Please go and call you insurers now to declare your mods. In the long run we might have better premium costs.

When you come to renewal, your insurance may go up...

I got a speeding conviction in August last year, phoned up DL and didnt get charged anything, however my insurance is due for renewal next month, so i did 2 quotes out of interest - 1 with conviction, 1 without, £50 difference!

DIRECT LINE ARE f**king s**t

they tempted me with building my ncb as a named driver.. fine. I did that for years after all all i did was drive it on the weekends or to college and back. I racked up 3 years then decided to get the sport. Now i got 4 years ncb and cant protect it why? because i built up 3 of them as a named driver. so whats the point. It means im stuck with them for another 3 years till i get 4 years on my own as well as 3 years as a named.

Really pissed. They tell you in the advert you can use the named ncb when you come to take your own policy but nothing about protecting it.

Fuckem.
