Try www.confused.com, they will get quotes from lots of different insurance companies for you (only have to put your details in once). Hope that helps you.

I found Adrian Flux to be very good on price. It costs less to insure My "highly" moddified 328i than it does to insure my "standard" 325i with another insurance company lol

Girlfriend tried confused.com and was well impressed

What happened to the Golf?

[Danstable]

I've just renewed my insurance, ended up going with Adrian Flux who were the cheapest (just). Got TPFT with breakdown cover and protected no claims for just shy of Ԛ£400. I'm 28.

They wouldn't entertain classic insurance, got nothing to do with age, more to do with whether its a genuine classic.......and they don't think a Touring is a future classic. May have a different view of a Motorsport or something.

[Dan318-is]

thanks for your advice lads im goin shoppin monday il let you know lol

[Dan318-is]

the golf oil light comes over 20mph an makes a horrid nois, iv tried battery disconnection n everything

Jeepers! That's a pretty comprehensive list!! Nice one! I'll have to save that somewhere for when our Scenic is up for renewal, but i've found that most companies aren't interested if you've modified your car at all.

Sorry to divert this thread for a bit, but how have those of you with modified cars got on with insurance? I've been with Tescos for the past few years with my previous mod-list declared, but i dont think they'll go as far as i've gone now. They wanted an extra Ԛ£100 a year or something just because i changed my BBS to Hartge alloys, so i think they're taking the p!ss a bit now. Everyone talks about Adrian Flux, but i found them awkward to deal with last time i used them with a modified Mini. I'll give them another call just to compare though.

[Theo]

Churchill, definately the best for young people - at least thats what I think. Nationwide are really cheap too.

[jonbuoy]

I lost my licience about a year ago, phoned an insurance broker and they put me through to a company called Hiperformance(Carinthian), everyone else wanted to charge between Ԛ£2000-Ԛ£3000 for a 318i 4 door. These people charged me Ԛ£1100 with all the mods, alloys, suspension etc....., so i thought that to be pretty good after a 6 mth ban and they still let me have a 1 years no claims from before the ban.

[Dan318-is]

nationwide 1100TFT and 1600 Fully C

Everyone else has declined lol!

[Zayyan]

This is with an M20 2.5 at 17!?

What the hell am I doing with a 316i!?

[Dan318-is]

lol i wish!!

this is for the IS mate

[Zayyan]

But it's gonna be a "325i" with the M20 in no?

And so not insurable as a 318is?

[Dan318-is]

that wont be until at least next summer lol

and im not sure if im dropping it in cos i need a gearbox too plus i mite jus keep the m20 an put it in another shell an sell the IS as one cos theyr quite rare

i wudnt even try for a 2.5 until im at least 19 lol

[Zayyan]

i mite jus keep the m20 an put it in another shell an sell the IS as one cos theyr quite rare

Good lad

So the iS engine actually works? I'm confused!

[Dan318-is]

ye the is always worked i just wonted to take it apart and mod it up lol

how much is it to get timing chain done wont to fix it so i know it wont blow, also camshaft timing advancing how much is that?im still buying BBTB and viper chip and exhaust for the IS tho lol

[Zayyan]

ye the is always worked i just wonted to take it apart and mod it up lol

Now I understand.......don't understand the "iS engine needed" thread though!

how much is it to get timing chain done wont to fix it so i know it wont blow, also camshaft timing advancing how much is that?im still buying BBTB and viper chip and exhaust for the IS tho lol

Best start a separate thread for this one

[Dan318-is]

rightey o il try the thread

originally the plan was to kepe my golf, take the engine out the IS an do it up at college. but the golf died and the IS became my only car to use so taking the engine out was a no go, hence i needed a new engine for college

i thought that i could get another IS engine and do it up then drop it in at the end of the year, but people have converted me to m20 rightness plus johns one is 90 quid and local hence why i will hopefully have m20 power in a year

[Zayyan]

Sorted

Don't you dare put the M20 in the iS if the iS works though!

[Dan318-is]

not guna mate

guna sell the IS when iv got the money to buy an m20 shell and drop the engine in,

or sell the m20 engine and save for a 325i sport / hartge

[Zayyan]

Good plan

[Dan318-is]

hope i can get insured soon
