Try HIC insurance, you can get there number from the back of most car mags. I am 21 4 yrs no claims and own a 2ltr turbo nova and am insured with them so you shud get a good quote. Rick

yeah lv have recently changed their policies. i rang them up to see about a 1.6 transplant and they said ?7 extra so i did it. rang them back to confirm it and i was told no. turns out if you dont have an existing policy with them they are very strict now on engine transplants. luckily as i had an policy with them already i sorted it out eventually. (actaully it cost me nothing extra for the new engine). Try the link suggested above. loads of good companies there

will give them a try tomoz, dont wanna get this close then miss out. i dont think ive ever been this gutted :(

i do have a policy with them!! aparantly because vauxhall never made a 2l 16 v they wont insure them. and anyone who is insured with them will not be able to renew there policy

[Rick Draper]

Someone on here recond they got a letter asking them to renew there 2ltr nova and there second nova with LV :roll: :roll: Rick

[burgo]

norwich union gave me a very gd quote on me alfa try them

[Ben (lurk75)]

This happens all the time, there was a post this week about virtually the same thing.

You have got your age going for you, shouldnt be a problem getting a reasonable quote as there are a lot of others younger with the same spec and no where near 4 years NCB.

I'm swapping my GTE engine for a 1.6 16 valve on throttle bodies, Performance direct quoted me ?27 admin. charge only. Though I am 37 years old, LOL. Does have some advantages sometimes I guess :D

[Dicko]

HIC would ne your best bet really. people gettin about ?500-?700 qoutes with similar detials

[Fester]

I was 19 when took out GTE policy with Flux, they wanted ?1300 for the year if it had a 2.0 16v in it, 2 years no claims

[ade]

so they quoted you and then declined you???

Bit sus if you ask me - Id go back through and complain

Theres several of us who has 2ltrs with LV (not me personally) - I'd be surprised if they didnt renew...

LV seem to go through phases - I personally reckon its your age thats holding them back.

gutted for ya m8 - but just work down the list in the features - you'll find someone who will

till HIC is overrun with muppets claiming :lol:

[Dicko]

yup so get in soon!!!

[steve-o]

when i rang the first time i didnt know the exact details of the engine so i think they quoted me for a GTE with engine mods! when i rang up last night he told me because vauxhall never made a 2L 16 v they couldnt insure me. i asked about all the other ppl who had polocys with them , he told me they wouldnt be able to renew.


anyone have a number for HIC???
