Hi all, Two weeks ago I was hit head-on while driving our 1962 95 bull nose. Now I have the back-and-forth with the insurance company. It was a very good example and very original. How to value it? Any evidence would be appreciated...

Quick question, I've got 235/45/17 97W's on the front wheel of the 9-3 I bought. Looking through the book and inside the car it's saying standard is 225/45/17 94W. I'm wondering what difference this makes to the driving, and also if it invalidates my insurance with the car not being 'standard'...

Hi All Would my insurance company consider changing the standard wheels and tyres to winter tyres a modification?

After a bump in my '08 Saab 9-3 (bumper,grills and bonnet) it has been declared a category D write off. I was thinking of settling with my insurers (Swiftcover) and getting the car back and getting it repaired myself. Has anyone done anything similar and who did you then insure it with? I'd...

Say I swapped my 2004 9-3 Tid in for a similar/same spec, vintage, Tid but convertible ..... Would this be more cashola on the premium ya recon ? :(

Hi Guys, I have just bought a 9-3 Aero and obviously i had to do all of the usual phoning around and playing one against another.... you know how it goes?! I ended up getting a good quote from Aviva, but along the way i tried the Co-op insurance service. After all of the normal questions...

Just quoted my MY2002 Aero with Adrian Flux whose website infers great prices for performance cars ( they show some very keen prices as typical examples so I called them up) etc......well they were nearly twice my renewal quote with Direct Line! Disapointing as I cant think of a single thing I...

hi guys, I'm really struggling to get a realistic insurance quote..... it seems my postcode makes it really expensive.... 46, male, 6 years NCD, 9-5 3.0 TDI Chesterfield At my previous postcode £500 give or take At my current postcode £750!! Both postcodes are within 5 miles of each...

Have just received the renewal notice for my STG 3 Aero. It's gone up 25% as opposed to c.5% in the last few years. I am with Chris Knott and have found them excellent. They tell me this is a general uplift on all policies and i'm pretty lucky cos many have gone up by as much as 40%. Certainly...

Anyone know of a good insurer that doesn't mind modifieds? I have a 9-3 thats recently been tweaked and the usual insurers dont want to know!

This is for a 2005 Aero 2ltr sport!! I have 6 point on my licence (3 of those are now over 3 years), over 10 years no claims!! I rang the company to confirm the price....and yep the quote is correct... Think I'll stick with swiftcover!!

I have just had two blindingly good quotes for the Vert and the Sportwagon from AXA . Both are about due and with a further £28 Quidco cashback on each policy they are almost 50% the price of the existing insurer Privilege who as been very well priced for the last two years for a couple in their...

I have an ageing 9-5 auto estate, insured in my name, wife as named driver. Our main long distance car, and we do a lot of long trips. She has a Citroen Synergie, 12 years old, in her name with me as named driver. The synergie is really useful when we go on trips with kids and ancient...
