    Insurance - DOUBLED!

    in Insurance

    Posted

    On the street and with the missus who has only been driving 2 years with 1 claim makes mine cheaper! Can't touch the specialist insurers as it's my first performance car and I'm in a Manchester post code.

     

    Theres a page on MSE about how different job titles can change the premium cost. As long as the job title roughly suits what you are doing you'll be fine :thumbs:

    The addresses insurers won’t touch and why...

    Stuart Lea saw his annual motor insurance premium with Direct Line jump from £800 to £1,100 when it came up for renewal this year.

     

    Mr Lea shopped around for a better deal using comparison website Moneysupermarket, securing an annual policy for £670 from Admiral.

     

    So basically insurers are doing what they always do with renewals and try to screw you over but you can save if you actually put the effort into looking elsewhere :bangin:

    350Z GT - up to £12k

    Picked up a zed on Saturday :yahoo: Love it so far and I've hardly been able to drive it, drives great, sounds great with a Japspeed K2 and Y pipe on it and it's in really really good condition.

     

    Bought it from a forum member on here, webber. Kept it very nice and tidy for me! I'll get some photos up of it as soon as I can, just need to get used to changing gears without jerking everywhere!

    PRESSURE WASHER ONLY £45?! - AGAIN UPDATE

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    What a chump I am. Bought the fittings for the tap and pressure washer but was connecting straight hose. Bought some brass fittings to the hose and works now.

     

    Just so I'm not being thick, quite probably:

     

    Plug everything in.

    Turn tap on, a bit? a lot?

    Turn pressure washer on

    Spray away

    When you're not spraying should water be coming out of the hose where it connects to the tap and pressure washer?

     

    Thanks :D

    PRESSURE WASHER ONLY £45?! - AGAIN UPDATE

    First pressure washer I've had but how the heck do you get the hoses to stay on? Soon as I turn the outdoor tap on and turn the washer on and pull the trigger the hose just pops off one or both ends.

     

    The hose is connected to a pair of threaded connectors that were a struggle to get into the hose but popped off in no time!

    mods and insurance

    My mods (exhaust, wheel spacers) add an extra £30 and my 3 points an extra £100 :(

     

     

    £100?! My 3 points for stopping near a pedestrian crossing (PC30) increase my insurance quotes on a zed by £600. ALl I did was stop to let my girlfriend put something in the frigging post box in 2008 :rant:

    Hey all! :)

    Happy day today! I've wanted a 350 for years and finally got me an 07 GT in midnight Blue! :) I've a long one week wait to pick it up, but until then I'll be a wound up spring :bounce:

    Nice to meet you all!

     

    Was it the one over on **REMOVED**? Looks nice if it is :)

    Getting really high insurance quotes

    I had a quote waiting on Admiral for a few weeks until I go pickup my zed and overnight, without any changes, it went up £300. Phoned them up and they're looking into it but I went on today and it's gone back down?! Crazy!

     

    I forgot to add my PC30 "conviction" (stopping too close to a pedestrian crossing to let my girlfriend put something in a post box), and that's added 50% on to my quote, not happy! :angry:
