  1. this really isn't news.....you have to pay for the service/product somehow, so a comparrison site is likely to be earning for a referral just because they are, doesn't always mean its more expensive though
  2. You are better asking the finance bloke at an opc You should also expect higher Apr than other options and no guarantee what it will be until the car is delivered and you start it.. any illustrations at this stage are extremely likely to change if it's a while until delivery
  3. ...and it helped justify the Rich Tea 🤣
  4. Take the feker to court, join Lime as an additional responsible party Use your car legal cover to do so.
  5. this + you pay insurance for a reason, use it and even if the cost goes up in subsequent years its still like having an interest free loan for the cost of repair
  6. personally I wouldnt bother with Gap on a 10yr old car
  7. Can't remember when it's effective but changed regulations are usually adopted sooner by those that they affect, they'll be a cut off date I've had one a buildings insurance policy renewal yesterday, went down a few pence per month
  8. Had both my 987 and 981 insured through Porsche aka Aviva aka Marsh until this year as they split policy book between another part of Marsh and the one mentioned (Carbon) I think....anyway Marsh Commercial (or whatever part mine went to) quoted £600 pa with silly excesses and I could get cover at £300 via Churchill with lower excesses...
  9. When it comes to car insurance I'm a consumer like everyone else (not a product I arrange myself)...whether many people are aware or not, the following will now apply: FCA CONFIRMS MEASURES TO PROTECT CUSTOMERS FROM THE LOYALTY PENALTY IN HOME AND MOTOR INSURANCE MARKETS The FCA has implemented a package of remedies to improve competition and protect home and motor insurance customers from loyalty penalties. This includes new rules, so that renewal quotes for home and motor insurance consumers are no more expensive than they would be for new customers. These measures address the issues identified in the FCA’s September 2020 market study, which found that millions of home and motor insurance customers lose out if they renew repeatedly with their current providers. In 2018, 6 million loyal policy holders would have saved £1.2 billion had they paid the average price for their actual risk. Many firms increase prices for existing customers each year at renewal – this is known as “price walking”. This means that consumers have to shop around and switch every year to avoid paying higher prices for being loyal. It also distorts the way the market works for everyone. Many firms offer below-cost prices to attract new customers. They also use sophisticated processes to target the best deals at customers who they think will not switch in the future and will therefore pay more. The FCA’s new rules will stop firms price walking. Insurers will be required to offer renewing customers a price that is no higher than they would pay as a new customer. In addition to the new rules on pricing for home and motor insurance, the FCA is also bringing in new rules to: • Give most consumers easier methods of cancelling the automatic renewal of their policy, • Require insurance firms to do more to consider how they offer fair value to their customers, and • Require home and motor insurance firms to report data to the FCA so that it can supervise the market more effectively A very good thing I think but where does that leave comparison sites? Will they cease to show savings as large as to date going forward? discuss!
  10. @A-Plan Insurance My renewal is due in the next week, just tried to phone you but gave up after 5 mins holding. Can someone contact me? DM me and I'll provide a contact number Thanks EDIT - don't worry taken via Churchill, needed to get it done today due to other committments
  11. yes mine is fitted 24/7 365 days a year, never comes out
  12. I used to get a weird reflection with the mesh, an odd type of deflection of the clouds in it every now and again My clear one is fine, the buffeting isn't any worse as far as I remember (but then I've had a clear one for 5yrs probably), same with reflections...nothing that bothers me
  13. Ok...guess you used the old mesh frame....I thought you'd just cut out a bit of plastic and inserted it straight into the mount...never mind
  14. thanks, was thinking more on its own though so we could see finish etc
