Your own insurance company and you've not got fully comp?
Well considering I have 2 insurance policies with them on a Lupo and a Mk2 Jetta I want them cheap as possible.
And believe it or not I don't get it for free, I still have to pay for it!!!
-
£120 is very cheap actually! just under double the excess on most policies
I know, like I said, I work for HIC, my own insurance company....
These guys were cheapest for me:

It was £80 for my old Fiesta a few years ago
Thanks for that, will check them out!
-
Wouldn't say a few hundred. I have been quoted £120 fitted, just wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience.
Never needed w/screen cover before as had a Corrado where it would be cheaper to replace yourself than pay an excess and have someone else do it for you!
-
OK, before anyone says it, yes I work for my insurance company, but no, as I am only TPFT I do not have windscreen cover.
I need someone to supply and fit a new one as mine has a horrific crack all the way along!
Can anyone help please?
-
You've obviously never owned a Corrado then

EGR delete?

Unless the engine is in the back why have the exhaust coming out of the boot ?
Remember to pack extra socks and undies too then, maybe some bottled water and a big packet of aspirin, the list could be endless, just pack a bit **** I to a bag, fill the car up with fuel and set off.
I worry too much, I'm so excited about going but just worry, especially with us going end of November. Duvet will be going incase anything does happen and its sub zero conditions.
& he likes to be different and with the amount of smoke from it he looks like a steam train!
-
Holy Moly! As an authoritive figure for the BTP (Bad Taste Police) I'd arrest him too
-
Arrested, whats wrong with the van? dirty ladies on the paint work
Exhaust coming out of the bonnet...
-
We supply breakdown for UK and EU for £53.00
Includes home-start and roadside assistance for up to £3000
Only downside is you need to have a policy with us to have one unless you buy online
-
I'm looking forward to taking it
and we were going to take Chris' van but he was worried he would get arrested with it and would rather have issued with he Police in this country and not Poland where he doesnt understand what they are saying!!
& that would have a much higher chance of breaking than the loop haha
-
Its more than a 1000miles as we are going to make a few stops along the way.
My issue is that I like to be prepared!!!
-
Is your car really that unreliable? I remember going on long journeys in my old Audi and feeling sick of all possibilities, nothing went wrong.
You could take everything and you'll still forget something, so I wouldn't worry. I'd love to see you fix wheel bearings at the side of the road
You could prehaps do an oil change + filter, maybe air filter too
Just to be practical n wheel bearings are fine they would be useful
I changed the Corrado ones on the side of the road before no issues!!
As said I do have full breakdown but only to being me home. If we have a small issue on the way there I would like to have the parts ready to sor there and then.
So belts, fluids, wheels bearings and that would probably be it!
-
Remember the laws in France, you have to have correct insurance and I'm sure a hi viz top and first aid kit
Luckily I work at HIC and have all the correct cover and EU breakdown already. I'm already aware of everything needed as it is something that I need to know as part of my job.
I really needed to know more on parts that would be best to take.. Wheel bearing is a good shout and the gearbox has only just been changed in it in the last few months
I'd love to take the Jetta but the engine isn't in yet!!!
-
Anybody taken their Lupo over to Poland
Me & Chris are driving to Poland in November, we were gonna take his van but due to the fact it wouldn't probably get impounded if we did, we have decided to take the Lupo.
My main issue would be the gearbox pooping itself.
But any advise on parts to take/care to take or things to watch out for?

Also, don't be led to believe that all "posher" places are better for insurance either.
See it this way:
Posher area. More expensive cars. 1x expensive car gets stolen. £30k+ payout.
Less posh area. Less expensive cars. For this to be equal to the above, X amount of cars would need to be stolen to match the payout.
Sounds silly, but the insurers want to be paying out LESS as, at the end of the day, they are a business and making money is what they want to do.
Its a pain, I know, and I don't get it sometimes either?!
-
car looks sweet. is it bad i like those 5 spoke black wheels that it came on?!
so jelous of the driveway.
NO! THEY ARE HIDEOUS
They are currently on Adams Mk2 whilst its sat in the garage, looks schwwweeeeet! NOT! Haha
