Hi Jim,

I did try Greenlight and they were competitive but with a bit more of an Excess and without additional drivers...

I may check them out in more detail to make sure before my free cancellation with AF runs out...

Cheers

Im sure this is not the case. The reason these sites have became popular is because Im sure they DONT take a cut. The way they make their money is by making the companies pay them to effectivlely "advertise" their company on a website. Each company pays the same amount, making it an even playing field with no favouritism. I cant be 100% sure, but I can remember hearing something similar a few years ago when they all came out

Tell them about the exhaust cause if you have an accident that's your fault it may well void your insurance.

I changed my exhaust but it only increased bhp by about 5bhp so the insurance didn't go up.

All changes I do will always be declared to the insurance because after my accident (which wasn't my fault) it was impossible to get the bonnet open due to crushed bodywork. If the BMC hadn't been declared and the accident was proven to be my fault then I could be in a spot of bother. It's not worth the risk.

As Christina has said, it is not worth taking the risk as your insurance will be void and you'll be taken to court, sued, hung, drawn and quartered!
