Pete Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I thought I'd try Admiral given a lot of other had got good results from them. My current Sky quote is 666. Admiral - 365! Only mods I have are exhaust, TRD spoiler, traction control - which they said to put as brake upgrade and decat classes as exhaust. Haven't mentioned the FCD as I've no idea what that would be. Only thing I don't like is that they won't offer a guaranteed value only offering "market value" - and we all know what that means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Pete, totally agree on 'market value' thing. I was so glad I had the agreed value with Sky. I reckon it's worth the extra. Also Admiral & Co may not replace mods like with like... I'm going to renew with Sky and not even bother ringing around. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Make doubly sure that it's for a MKIV and not a MKIII, Admiral have previous for that hence the cheapness of the quote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymdee Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Who and where? Bit of a Sorry Pete (not guilty) Sextons & all over the country. They sell & fit car stereos & alarms. Don't know if you have them in Scotland though. Anywhere who fits alarms should be able to do a test and give you a certificate (if they're approved). Hope you sort it.

Jake Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 That's bizzare Pete. When I was ringing round for quotes recently Admiral were the dearest of the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Did you try Elephant Pete? Admiral own Elephant and I switched from Admiral to Elephant because they were even cheaper Decat classed as an exhaust hmmm might phone and find out how much extra that would be for me, very tempting as the car is at CW's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 I was with Elephant once before. I might try them out of interest. Odd thing is, I've tried Elephant abour 6 months ago and it was loads more than Sky. The only thing that's changed is I'm 31 now and another years NCB. Address, car etc remains the same. Weird.

I swear there's just an algorithm somewhere to generate your quote like this: $random = rand(200,1500); print("Congratulations - your insurance quote is : $random"); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
