You should be able to request 'Proof of NCB' from your current insurer... i grabbed mine just before cancelling after selling the car recently. I always just seem to know what I've got and add 1 to it when looking for renewal comparisons

Ah that's an interesting idea - thank you! So instead of the wife renewing, move it over to a new policy in my name, then 12 months later flip it back to a policy in her name. That's probably more ideal as it would save costs vs buying something and insuring it for the sake of NCB with no...

Hey OcUK, I'm in a position I've never been in before where our typical 2 car household has dropped down to 1 family wagon. My wife and I have always had our own cars and insurance policies and each have 10+ years NCB. Made the move to 1 car as working from home has gone permanent for me. I...

No I was driving with kids in the car when the call came through so didn't have the brainpower to dig into what they were telling me. I'll be dropping them an email to see if they can elaborate. And no, I've not launched the car using launch control in my ownership since April.. Last guy said...

Yeah I was starting to look at an Akrapovic one, as it's a VW part so would maintain warranty (at least that was the thought) but I'll chance my arm at a new exhaust whilst it's there. Won't be done for a week or so.

No VAG only supply 1 years cover. RAC was through bank account. I got the car recovered to near my parents house which is also very close to a dealer as the dealer is on a main road with double yellow lines and bollards blocking access, so needed moving twice either way. Yep, just had the call...

Depends if you want to live in Lancaster for the rest of your life, I was including the return leg :D I got held up around Stoke and at numerous roadworks. Think it was 3hrs 30 there and 2hrs 30 back, so maybe 6hrs rather than 7 :)

Right, got a bit more time this evening to give a better update... been on the go most of the day getting the car recovered for a second time, taken to VW and fighting a bit of a battle to get a courtesy car So here it is on Sunday, after being lovingly washed, waxed and dressed up all pretty...

No not mapped, booked into VW now so getting dragged there again this morning

Hey, Anyone with a DSG box had this before? 6hra into a 7hr journey from Nottingham to Lancaster and my Golf R started to feel funny. It didn't know what gear to be in, felt very indecisive, then shifts were erratic, building revs between gears... Came to a roundabout on the A50 and felt the...

32, Seat Leon FR Diesel, 180bhp variant... something like 12 years NCB Also someone reversed into my parked car in nursery car park whilst i was inside dropping off and that sent me premium up by £75... so no doubt that plays into some kind of calculation somewhere. My renewal was £377 last...

Yeah i went on at lunch and updated it from 10k to 14k... £51 for the privilege but avoids any doubt if the worst happens. Thanks for the opinions!

Morning, Took a bit of a stab at my annual mileage as circumstances were changeable, half way through my insurance year, going by MOT history and today's mileage I'm heading towards an annual mileage of 13,500 but only insured for 10,000! Bit of an underestimation! Policy wording says: Total...

is it possible/practical to but a 4 Bay NAS and only 1 hard drives to run in RAID 1? Is it like sticks of RAM? Running in slot 1/3 and then able to double storage by adding into 2/4? Dont particularly want to fork out for 4 x 8TB and a 4 bay NAS all in one outlay!

Hi people who know more than me!! I'm looking at a NAS drive for storing home media, pictures and HD videos of the kids growing up and other sizable media. I'm thinking a 4 Bay NAS drive is the way to go running a mirrored RAID 1 drive setup for drive failover redundancy. Does anyone have...

thanks for the replies Had a 2nd quote back and a 3rd provided as a ballpark, pending the cost of parts: estimate 1 : £642.68 inc VAT estimate 2 : £410.64 inc VAT estimate 3 - still pending £400-£500 All are from established accident repair centres... though i have no first hand...

even if its 100% her fault and i need to claim on her insurance for the repairs? Would running it through insurance affect my policy at all as I'm surely absolved of all fault being as it was parked and empty at the time!!? First quote is back at £650 inc VAT

Just kept her in the loop from this mornings assessment: "When looking at the car this morning they noticed the bumper has pushed into the wing and split the paint on the corner so that needs some attention and the wheel arch plastic has cracked. Just wanting to keep you informed as it doesn't...

No, there was only 1 other car in the carpark and nobody came forward. No dash-cam in either car. I've emailed the nursery about any CCTV but i doubt they'll come through - never noticed a camera covering the carpark. yeah good idea, thanks Taken it in to a repair place this morning, just...
