General Car Chat / Car insurance grrr.
« on: 31 July 2019, 11:31:03 »
Been getting a few quotes on an 08 Vectra sri 1.9dth 150 which I'm thinking of running round in for a bit and it astonishes me how different the amounts are.
My current company esure would be £237 (currently 207 for the omega) tesco who used to cheapest in my younger higher risk days is £503 and age concern who I only just about quality on age is a whopping £1024 and most of them will charge a change of policy fee.
I've had my licence since 18 with 20yrs ncd a couple of speeding tickets over 30 yrs ago. I'm 55 by the way.
The whole insurance business needs a lot more regulation in my opinion.

General Car Chat / Insurance rip off
« on: 30 March 2019, 08:37:04 »
Just found out my current insurance Co. (General accident) don't cover cars over 20yrs old so although covered for my 99 elite they won't let me change to my 97 tourer and they want to charge me £50 for the privilege of cancelling. Yes it does say about the 20 Yr thing in the usual small print but what would they have done on 1st August this year when the elite becomes more than 20 years old.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Ccrt700 sound issue
« on: 29 January 2019, 16:54:19 »
Just recently my radio has started to behave as if I've turned the volume right down each time it switches off.
The auto logic is on so comes on/off with the ignition.
When I first start the car it's barely audible so I turn it up to a decent level and it's OK until I park up and then get back in and the volume has reverted to very quiet.
Not sure what's going on.
Cheers John.

Looking at 8x18 vec C alloys with an offset of et41, anyone else fitted similar, a bit concerned about clearance esp. using the correct 245 wide tyres.
Cheers John.
