:grin:
my insurance went up £103 for the yr after declareing my remap, many ppl say not to bother declareing as its hard for the insurance to find out the cars been remapped, i didnt want to take that risk but each to there own i guess

Thanks for replying mate

Its a hard question to answer as everyone is different / age / sex / occupation/ where you live / age etc etc so is very dependent on those factors along with who you are insured with
Some will not increase your premium while others get out their massive calculator and sting you
Think mine went up by about £50 :undecided:
-
you'd be very silly to make an announcement you're getting a remap on the forum and not declare it to your insurance.
star performance up my way remap them without the flash counter on the ecu increasing, but then i don't know how the insurers actually check the map, but there are people employed to check if a car's modifications are declared or not.

I get a hefty discount as my dad works for an insurance brokers
MPG improves if you're not gunning it everywhere

This year I'm insured with Aviva - just under £500 with everything declared, full NCB's and my missus on the policy who has only just passed her test but thats including some extra discount that my dad managed to wangle lol
Try giving Greenlight or HIC a call if the mainstream guys won't touch you :smiley:

Nope. None of my engine mods has impacted on the MPG. Only thing that's affected it is my wheels and even thats minimal
-
Thats pretty cool then. Hopefully i can get some decent quotes. waiting for a eply from greenlite atm.
-
When i tell the insurance companies that i want a quote on a car with a remap. do they ask you why you have a remap?? if so whats the best answer to give them without making it sound like u wanna be damon hill?
-
They didn't ask me reasons why, just what the BHP would be after remap.
-
Just got quoted £780 (£690 when i get my yrs no claims in september) for a 130derv remapped with uprated brakes, exhaust, body kit and air filter... dont sound bad to me???
