Just curious to hear who everyone uses?

I want to change to an agreed value on my car insurance so I'm going to go and get some quotes. Currently with Shannons and may stay there but I haven't looked in a while so want to see what's available.

I called Shannons for some info the other day and the guy on the phone really shitted me off. Couldn't even give me a proper quote on how much it'd cost to up my insurance too busy trying to give his un asked for opinion that if my car isn't in the top percentage of GTRs quality wise in Australia they won't raise it. Hmm if you read this buddy, kindly shove your opinion up your ass :D

I'm with Shannons. I'm pretty happy with it. One of the SAU member in WA works for Shannons, I can't remember his user name, nor whether he still works there, it's been a while. I called him up and got a comprehensive insurance instantly with a phone call, and no vehicle check.

Just Cars premium is usually the highest.

Young and Cool was the cheapest requires your car to have alarm with non-colour coded wiring... you are not covered for theft. Toyota MR2 factory alarm had colour coded wiring, hence I couldn't insure with them. They also give you 10% discount if you do a Murcott defensive drive training.

GTR is insured with Shannons. Corolla is insured with Toyota. Rav4 is insured with GIO, packaged with home & content insurance... more paperwork!

yes I know who you mean.. but I won't mention his name cos he doesn't do enquiries through SAU anymore.. :banana:

With Shannons you have to go see them in person. That's what I did with my car, and I got the agreed value that I wanted.

Kat, I actually had them first look at mine at the Wheels event, all I did was wander over to the Shannons sponsor tent and started talking to one of the guys there, he just said "take me to it and I'll look at it now",and that's how I got it, so maybe you could try that?

That way they get to look at the car when it's shiny clean too :banana:

im with justcar pretty good i got full price an all the mods i did with my car and they even increased the market value of my car after getting the mods so i was pretty happy with that and they were the cheapest i found

try LSV (Lumley Special Vehicles) 133578

or Torque

I am with LSV, agreed value, cheapest I could find, great customer service.

My current policy is with LSV but they have doubled my excess to $1k (must be the market, ive made no claims) and i found out their agreed value means nothing just maximum amount they will pay, its just a reference to what clause where hey will assess the value and then pay what they want!

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
