who quoted you that?! I was quoted that with only 3 years ncb, but if I got the conversion for £740 I'd imagine as standard it would be a lot cheaper than that

Thats the cheapest so far of the search engines, will go to the specialists nearer the time.
If it does not get any lower I am going to bus it for a bit while i save up for a Diesel :lipsrsealed:

engine doesnt matter as long as its a 1.8t they dont care which version it is (at least sky dont)

How many no claims do you have? I only have 3. I didn't shop around but with a 20% discount from Sky I couldnt see anyone being cheaper tbh. Nice price though :P

i have full no claims since i wad 17 in 1994

they did want to know what 1.8T was in mine, i had to state the engine Code

Post by: Dan_GTi8v on 26 November 2011, 17:55
ah ok, with mine they just asked engine size. I said 1.8t, the guy said so its a smaller engine than standard I said yeah but its more powerfull. That was that! I thought I may need to give the code but he never asked for it, I guess I'll find out when I get the mod declaration in the post which I need to sign and send back

Well it should matter, a 150bhp would be lower risk than a 180/225.

I had to confirm engine code on mine even with it being factory fitted.
