It’s come to that time of the year again – my insurance is due for renewal! :(
Have only rang 1 company so far and they asked if there were any modifications, to which I replied yes and proceeded to list them out.
Me: Well there’s an Air Filter…
Insurance woman: OK
Me: …and an ‘oil catch tank’
Insurance woman: What’s that?
Me: *explanation*
Insurance woman: OK, We’ll need an engineers report for that
Me: SS exhaust as the OE one was on back order and couldn’t be got
Insurance woman: We’ll need an engineers report for that too
Me: …and I may change the air filter to an induction kit
Insurance woman: What’s that?
Me: *another explanation*
Insurance woman: And we’ll need an engineers report for that as well.
:rant:
So at that point I asked what an ‘Engineers report’ was… was it just a statement from a garage saying the item was fitted correctly and was told yes.
Me: What happens if I want to do other cosmetic modifications?
Insurance woman: Well you’ll need to ring us first and check we can insure you with them on the policy and you’ll need an engineers report each of them.
:rant: :rant: :rant:
Is this just some stupid N.I. thing of do you guys on the mainland have all this stupidity to deal with too.
I didn’t even tell them I had a VIS motor indicator kit to fit, nor had I a set of HIDs.
