ordered lowering springs from PVD on saturday, asked direct line what my insurance would be like if i carried out the mod and they told me if i were to have my car lowered id have to look for another insurer

they must think im made of money. anyway, i called PVD and they cancelled my order with no hassle what so ever, so thumbs up to the guys and girls at PVD and a big thumbs down to direct line who wont let anyone under 25 declare mods on their policy

was spose to give em a call yesterday morning..... but I woke up at 3pm, and needed to refit the std airbox and hu..... the hu was a right pain

gonna give my insurers a call in the morning to see what the crack is, if not good enuf, then I'll give Liv VIc a call.... but come renewal time if I stick with em, unless they give me a cheap ass renewal, they can gtf

btw, when they phoned me earlier to clarify sum bits, they asked me what an induction kit do.....

with the ban going out of the equasion next yr, n hopefully 1yr ncb, I feel it should be much much cheaper

arghhh gutted... ban doesn't come off license till Nov, insurance will be up in june

ive had so many people say go with tesco its just not funny. tesco were another 70 odd quid for me and plus ive heard they are a cack insurance company, then again ive heard they are a sub company of direct line. so i dont know what to believe. anyway i made up my mind and i will reconsider my options when i have my current problems sorted out

current insurers won't allow mods

they found sum1else who would...frigging wanted £600 just for a induction kit and aftermarket steering wheel...so I dread to think how much they would want for the rest

so promptly got on the buzzer to Liv Vic.... that phone call lasted all of like 2 minutes.... took my address, my personal details...then asked...have you been banned in the last 5 yrs.... which I have....for speeding

then told me they won't insure ppl with bans with the last 5 yrs

so it looks like I'll be putting the mods off for yet another yr

maybe direct line base their policy on modding on other factors aswell, such as wher u live and if ure car has good security or not. aparantly i live in one of the highest crime coded areas (CF23) and i have no alarm (yet to be fitted)
