I'm afraid if you put it in writing it's pretty hard to wriggle. Let's also not forget that Flux are acting here in an intermediate role
they are not the insurers.HighwayStar wrote:Then they'll get sued.
I've put in writing exactly what I want and expect and they have responded in writing confirming it.
'agreed value' with an insurance company that then refused to honour the agreement. If you can't arrange for a policy that suits you that's really your look out. If you've experienced a claim that went badly then I'm sorry for your loss. I have had a claim many moons ago on the old white rev1 which was handled quite ordinarily and acceptably for the information of whoever asked.... 'Agreed Value' in a letter which the underwriters have signed and confirmed as acceptable to them as a condition to my taking their policy. If they attempt to wriggle out the Ombudsman would have a field day since I have already clarified with them just what agreed value means and have agreed it in writing prior to commencement.'external' route. Nor do they have any right to appeal a decision made on a complaint by the Ombudsman. The Ombudsman also has the ability to issue hefty fines in cases where they judge a member of their professional bodies has behaved in a misleading or dishonest manner. I have been open and honest and most importantly I have written evidence of my concerns and questions and the responses given by my insurers before I agreed to their proposal for cover. It's therefore rather galling to be told by people who as far as I'm aware are not party to my insurance details just what they think my underwriter will and won't do. Let's not try and just rubbish all that by implying it's not possible to cut a deal for appropriate insurance on them.HighwayStar wrote:The thread title was all about our beloved 2's and the value the market puts on them as potential classics and collectors cars.
- I don't want this to derail into a squabble about insurance specifics - we do all have different experiences and expectations...SO(out on fabecook mainly) who think they can (or should be able to expect to) pick up a clean turbo for 1.5k ? members of our own community are talking down the values. This is a bit disappointing.- car has bump. Insurer looks at it, writes it off. Owner feels a bit dejected about this and starts parting it out, at which point the wolves descend for the rev5 spoiler, the snorkels and the failside kit and the Bomex chin spoiler. Car is picked over and sold off because they're often worth more in parts. When this stops happening, prices will start to firm up, but not until then. (IMO)£1500 cheaper than the competition. I have car insurance because it's a necessity, but I essentially expect nothing in return if something unfortunate does happen. As long as they cover any other involved parties if I'm at fault then I can live with it! I'd rather not go through the hassle with insurance and if nobody else is involved then just let it go. It would be a shame but sh*t happens and I know better than to trust any insurance companies 
Just my 2p£100 p/a. Well, that was when it still had the original Rev 2 Turbo motor, but with wheels, suspension and exhaust declared. I have had a few cars covered on this policy (I let it auto renew, too)
