    Default Is this right?

    I've just been looking at quotes for my xe,

    I'm nearly forty with an advanced clean driving licenece so usually for a standard Nova fully comprehensive it's about £90.

    I filled out all the stuff for the quote, under modifications I selected non standard, different replacement engine. They did not ask what cc etc.

    The quote came back with £150.

    This seems very reasonable to me, what sort of prices do other folk my age get?

    Assuming this was an online quote, 'non-standard engine' doesn't really work. You'd probably find if you went ahead with it, they'd soon be in touch to confirm the details and possibly withdraw the quote.

    I had a quote on a comparison site a while back for the Nova with the B308 listed as 'non-standard engine' option, came back as £200 odd.

    Be interesting if you did manage to push the quote through to purchase online and get it all arranged without them seeking clarification. As technically you have satisfied their requirements by informing them of the change as requested

    £100 says this was an online quote and when you ring up to ask and take the policy out, they will tell you the price is wrong.

    They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....

    My renewal is due 14th this month at £241

    27yo, no points or convictions, 0 NCB (used on another policy).

    20xe Nova, Fuel intake modifications (twin 45's), Gearbox mod (Quaife SCCR), suspension, brakes, alloys, full cage and upholstery change (buckets + harnesses).

    Yours sounds about right to me.

    If they do change it, I'll be messaging you to get your insurance company!
