Same as me :thumb2 that's why I run on Bio and LPG :sly

 

[lacroupade]

There are too many arseholes, insurance companies and police included, skimming off the top by allowing people in luxury cars to have expensive like for like replacements and then taking weeks to complete simple repairs. Then there are the ambulance chasers.

F*ck the lot of 'em.

Insurance is much more on a Mistral. They instantly add around £200 to the price as it is an "imported" car, and so parts cost more! You can tell them the parts are the same price as the non imported ones...to no avail. My old insurance company insured me for my saab 900 2.0 - me and wife fully comp £187 - but when I changed to the Mistral they wanted over £800 -tossers.
After much searching online and ringing around I got one at £400 fully comp with Mayfaire.
When I was searching around I asked the cost of third party (as then the cost of parts for my imported truck do not come in to it) believe it or not, some companies charge MORE for third party than for fully comp!!! So they want to charge us more for less cover!! When asked why the reps have no answer.

Hey All,

Havent been about for a while but thought i'd add my bit

Just insured my patrol 1990 for the 1st time, called round 12 companies and found Performance direct the best by far!

£305, Import, fully comp and all mods!!! (turbo, suspension and body lift, snorkel, wheels etc......)

Oh...and if you call Adrian flux, they only insure on the driveway for up to 4k, if you say its worth over that and then back track while on the phone they refuse cover!! Ha! crazy.

Hi All,

1998 LWB terrano 2.7 TDi SE Touring.
I am 41 years young, 23+ years NCD, wife on the policy, No points or convictions for either of us.
End of August I paid £210 3rd party F & T, protected NCD and legal cover.
Was £187 the year before.
Gone with Bradford & Bingley insurance. Got the quote through Argos compare.
This did give me a £30 Argos voucher for buying through them so technically I have only paid £180:clap

[Yakkerman]

well im 53 ... full no claims etc etc .... so dont know where they are coming from with those prices at NFU ..

Maybe its because mine is a Jap import ...

Ill seriously have to look elsewhre ..

 

[Yakkerman]

thanks again for the info .... just got quote on Argos site and its £304 TPFT protected and thats for business use too ... well happy !

I accepted via the Argos site with Swinton but no mention of my £30 voucher though in the Swinton emails ??

Is ths voucher sent automatically or do i need to contact Argos ?

I have just paid £274.00 fully comp with More Than.

That's me and a named driver (both over 40 with clean licenses).

£150.00 excess, £100.00 voluntary & £75.00 windscreen.

11 years NCB not protected.

I thought it was a fair deal and allowed me to get away from Shielas Wheels, who are part of eSure. The worlds worst insurance company (from my experience).
