try A Plan m8

 

call gary!!!

 

Okay, so Im in Somerset not E.Sussex, but I have a similar profile, with 4yrs NCD and 37. Same car, same year but mine has declared decat and unichip mods, plus a few other bits and came in at £550 with a £350 xs.

L&V have been hiking premiums to cherry pick business, they also seem to not like mods if you plan on going down that road later mate.

My motor belonged to a friend in the next street and he is 43 with 9+ NCD and no additional driver, and paid £700+ at last renewal, so he was pretty miffed when I gave him the good news LOL

Ring Keith Michaels but you must speak to Gary Moulson

 

Confused.com come up with some funny results for a bog-standard, nondescript family saloon .....

 

If Gary can't beat that quote I'll eat my cover note*

































*I might not, you know

 

Yep i'll beat it.....just so Jay doesn't have to eat my well produced paperwork!!!

 

gary has my friend danny contacted you yet?

 

Don't think so mate

 

I'm not sure what to beleive with regard to L&V and mods.

I declared the exhaust and wheels 18 months ago. No problem, and no change in premium. And sent out a revised policy next day.

A collegue (No-Bars-Krud), also with L&V declared some minor mods, then serious mods i.e Turbo, ECU, Chassis mods etc...again No Problem with L&V

Maybe if you are an existing customer they don't mind.

I've been with them 3 years now, so am tempted to stay.

 

If you do want a quote ring me on 0208 6427868 and i will see what i can do.

Mod's are no problem here either for new or existing clients

 

Scott, I was with L&V for 4 years which spanned 3 imprezas at various states of tune. I thought that since I was a repeat customer with full NCB I would be OK WRT mods, but the 2.5l block was the nail in the coffin. John Banks got refused at renewal too IIRC

 

I am with L&V until next Thursday. Age 38 MY00 with decat, PPP, Ledas and 17's. Been with them for 3 years. Full NCB, wife as named driver, parked off road live in Surrey. This years renewal was nearly £1k.

Phoned Gary at Keith Michaels, and he saved me 40%. Better in my pocket than anyone else's.

 

try a-plan mate, im only paying £1000 on a '00 Turbo.

im 24 and thats with 6 points & living in a bad area (apparantly).

 

According to some L&V don't like CC increases.
So I guess they havn't worked out the benefits of forced induction.

I just declared all my mods with L&V (see below) and the renewal increased by just £60 to £772.

Chassis :
Uprated Rear Anti-Roll Bar and Drop Links
Front Strut Brace
18 Inch Alloys (already declared)

Engine :
Replacement ECU
Replacement VF28 Turbo
Replacement Performance Panel Air Filter
Stainless Exhaust (already declared)

Brakes :
330mm Disks
Comp-B4 Alluminium Calipers

Bodywork :
Subaru Optional Rear Spoler
Subaru Optional Front Splitter

Interior :
Additional Triple Gauge Dash pod (Not DEFI)

Estaimated BHP :
300 - 320BHP


Greenlight done well and gave me a quote of £20 less, but their excess was £100 more, plus I already have a DD setup with L&V.

Hence, L&V can continue to insure me for 2006/2007 at least.

cheers for all your help guy's.
