what about tyres? do they need to be claimed if non OE?
theres too many things they could say.
non standard gearbox oil caused the crash?
how is that different from non stnadard indicators caussed the crash?

FFS, i said have you got any pics, not have you taken any, i dont believe for one minute that if your 'mate' had done that conversion he wouldnt have pics of it
He probally has, but he isn't on msn and i've never asked for pics of his old car, i'm just not interested tbh, I was just saying that he had mods on his car not declared and he crashed and they let him repair it as it was to them just a 16v engine.
  BOLLOCKS
do you know what a mi16 engine is? and that it is quite a bit different to the gti engine, i presume this conversion was done on a gti?
A Mi16 engine is from a Pug 406 I might add, and my mate is a nob, he now owns a Scooby and has crashed it twice, in my opinion he shouldn't have a license.
yes i know what car the mi engine is from you tool (i hope that was a typo, as it should be 405)
it is a 1.9, or a 2.0 engine, and if you have any sense you will realise it takes thousands of pounds worth of work to get it into a 106

tyres as long as they have road legal tread it doesnt matter what they are. oil and gearbox oil are not performance upgrades, or cosmetic upgrades. you are just being silly now.

405/ 406, I don't care what the numbers are tbh, to me they're French crap that are made from plastic. I knew what car I was talking about as i'm training to become a car painter and tbh, I did experience for Pugoet and I don't like them.

because you are training to become a car painter you know what car they are out of? 
Pugoet? Who? Peugeot.
I sense that you are commenting on french crap from what you have read on the internet? i have had no problems with mine, and im pretty sure it isnt made solely out of plastic

1. i filled in the mod declaration on the adrian flux form they send you. i must of done 2 or 3 pages of a4 in continuation. every last thing is declared down to gauges, brake pipes, hoses, interior everything, well to the best of my knoledge. i suspect there may be the odd very minnor thing i forgot. side repeaters being one of them. i think it would be unlikely that they would refuse to cough up if i crashed. however car is off the road now untill the renuel is due so will have to add that next time. people who dont declare are wankers that are simply incosiderate to other people.
2. whats the big deal with a gti and mi16 engine? i was working on one no more than 2 months ago on bods?
edit: that was a 205. chimp

The only reason it doesn't help, is i'm dislextic, failed English and never had any help for it at school, and I did work experience for Peugeot, so got first hand on working on them, and the French crap part is from my tutor at college as he likes German cars.

why would you have to claim on you insurance for not using standard gearbox oil or having non standard indicators 
No insurance company would blame the side repeators for an accident 
All im saying is that if they wanted to they could refuse to payout as you have not told they about everything on you car, which you are legally binded to do when you take out a policy.

im not not saying youd have to claim if you have them i am saying would you have to claim that you have them. bad use of words on my part that.
what i ment is why would they not pay out for side repeaters. if they wont pay out for them why would they pay out if you use the wrong oil or a non OE part of any kind

to clarify. a car needs tyres and oil. there is no law about tyres other than they have to be road legal. if your tyres are road legal, then thats all that matters to the insurance company. not what brand they are, are they road legal slicks etc.

so why does the brand of the repeaters matter. if they are there the right colour and pass MOT?
