Im miffed.
Following a quote from HIC to insure my car with a 1242cc engine at the same price I paid at the time, I fitted a 1242cc engine.
Rang back today to get it insured (admittedly 2 months later)...and the price has gone up by 60%. They want £1500 for me, fully comp![!][!]
I rang a few other places (Performance Direct and Adrian Flux- specialist modified car insurers), and they're all looking for the same amount.
Thing is, its keeping the 1242, there is no way that that engine is coming out soon unless it absolutely has to, and it has to be insured in my name- i dont want to burden anyone with it if I kill it!
Any ideas on other insurance companies worth a try?
