well my renewel is cummin up with just cars and my premium has gone up to 3995 and my agreed value of the car has dropped to a crappy 25k. how the hell does that work.

i just got a quote pretending to be a new cust and was quoted 2500.

i guess my question is what if i made a new account and just paid the 2500 premium instead of the 4k.

and yes my details were identical

You are entitled to cancel or not renew your contract and accept the new quote - so long as details are disclosed as is. Why not? They are simply messing with rates/sum insured to screw you by the sounds of it.

Ring the insurance company and tell them your not happy with the renewal

Generally they will try and bump up the agreed value, but as the trade off you pay slightly more for your premium

Give and take really

yeah i remember you starting a few threads on here about accidents you had, including 1 involving a commodore who sped off. that would have affected your no claim bonus. anyway, didnt Just Cars spend lots of money fixing your car? a premium increase on their behalf isnt a big deal, especially after they pay to get your car back on the road and all fixed.

incorrect none of those accidents had any effect on my rating what so ever as i was not responsible.

nehoo ill give em a call see what happens.

This sounds like a loss of no claim bonus. Regardless of fault in your claims, if you were not able to obtain third party details for your insurer to claim off the other party, you may have lost part of it.

Yea thats true, if you make a claim wether its your fault or not it effects your rating and your premium at the end of the year, if you think about it this way, if someone hit you and they went through their insurance its all good cos just cars didn't do anything, if you claim and its not your fault your premium goes up, those sonsofbitches. And if you get a prick of a assesor and he spots something on your car thats not listed they wont cover you... But the value of the car depreciates every year unfortunatly so its not suprising that its gone down that much cos the same thing happened to me. Just call them and start asking them 1000 questions and dont get off the phone until your satisfied.

the amount of crashes you have had (regaurdless of whether you are at fault) is going to affect your costs.

you could try applying for insurance under the new quote but more than likely 1 of the 2 following will happen:

1: they look up your details and put the price up anyway.

2: they don't put your price up and if you have an accident they look up your previous details and refuse to pay.

as for the value of the car. once it has been in that many accidents the value is going to drop. no-one wants a car that has been dinged up heaps of time. and there are that many skylines out there now they aren't worth much.

so harden the f**k up and get your daddy to pay it.

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
