Don't know John, I'm yet to test that. Am planning a trip on the Murray soon so we'll see.

Had my landy 110 csw insured with Adrian flux. Jokers put the price up about £70 this year for renewal. Phoned them to tell them not to renew as was going to find it cheaper elsewhere. Guy said "if you do call us back as we will probably be able to match it!" Jog on fella! Got it £120 less with another company.

Precisely, if they can't give loyal customers their best possible deal why use them again. Its not just AF, the whole industry seems to be rife with the attitude that the best of treating repeat business is to use it as an opportunity to rip off!
Thanks for your input into the thread lol,
strewth!!!!! Another proper smart arse!!!!!

Would you believe it? Just a few days after talking about better deals, I was a few days late paying Mrs SHV's insurance on a one year old Hyundai I30. Originally about $740. The Pensioner's mob insurance, APIA calls to find out what's happening. I told the bloke that I thought that I had it in the system to pay then saw that I hadn't, so I told him that now that he has called I had better check with the other 150 insurance companies and look for a better deal. Then added, well what can you do for me? Quick as a flash he says how about $655? Right I say,email me a new invoice. Done.
Seems like all you have to do is ask, even if your policy is not due.

Whilst the exchange rate $ to £'s means your quote over here would be costing £390 ish, thats very high. My IX35 is just £300 fully comp. Why is your insurance quite so exensive?
I called AFlux and quoted a price I got of the net with ref number, 2 mins the very nice lady on the phone folded and I got the price back down....
A Flux is part of a shoot in North Lincolnshire as my friend knows the keeper who puts down 40k of partridges.....!! Guess the attempted price hike as to get a few more..

nissan navaras splitting in half - Google-søk
Here you go mate. Have a little look for yourself. I had a brand new Navara myself but once they started getting recalls for alloy wheels splitting and constantly putting wheel bearings on them I got rid pretty quickly. Seems I got out in time before it split in half. No smart arse here mate. Just common knowledge and FACTS.

Watch yourself, you'll be the next one getting called for stating facts. Quite obviously insurance companies are going to increase premiums on vehicles which have been known to snap in half world wide.
I'm out.

Yes this is known fault with the D40 mk 1, I'm assured by Nissans that the later mk 2 is unaffected.

You all just thanks your lucky stars your driving nice cheap to insure 4x4's
My little van (Bipper) was £315 last year, cheapest this year offered my compare the market was over £600
59 years old, a lifetime of no claims, clean license and off road parking, SDP only.
I eventually found a policy for just under £500, but I really hope I never need it.

Could also be large animals rushing out of the bush at you or the mega rains we have been told you are having. I dont think its anything to do with box jellyfish though!
Overall, insurance - on anything, is the biggest con trick perpetrated on the public.
I would love to know what percentage of drivers have ever claimed and the value of a claim, (apart from the criminals who seem to make a career out of it).
Anyone got a linky ?
