Title: V70 Insurance
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 12 July 2021, 11:52:36
Renewal from Direct Line this year was £201.60 down from £220.64 last year.  :)

A quick search on Confused.com gave me £135.89 with esure for fully comp with business use as well.  :y

Could be bothered to faff around with TopCashback this time as the last two transactions I did with them didn't track and I saw that they have deleted my support tickets.  :-\  About a hundred quids worth of cashback as well. >:(

Yes you have to be sure that you clear all cookies before using Topcashback, I’ve had the same issue.

I effed up with my quote and without thinking put down that I had full NCB, but I use the full NCB on the Mondeo's insurance.  ::)  :-[

I considered keeping shtum, but in the end phoned in, fessed up and ended up paying an extra £21.   :)

So £156 is still not bad and £44 cheaper than the renewal from Direct Line.  :y

I 'declined to remember' to my insurer that my XFR had been remapped.

Car has now gone so saved myself a few bob. :y

Did you put it back to original before you sold it?

I thought I would be able to take it home and remove the map before returning the car when the money arrived in my account. But WBAC don't work that way.

I had to leave the car there and pay £26 for a taxi home.


We live and learn. :-X

Got my VW panel van down to £130 full comp with an extra 60 for breakdown (big yellow taxi home) and 30 for legal to cover the uninsured yobs.

Did you inform WBAC that it had been remapped? If not, some poor bugger risks falling foul of his insurance company.

No.

But it is up for sale in Hampshire for £350 more than I paid  4 years ago.....which is madness.
