Do you have braided brake lines? Nope so your policy is invalid anyway
However.... if you check the policy - the braided brake hoses are NOT listed as a modification ( both online and on the paper docs) which would be a nightmare if you actually did have them. so it seems the glitch also prevents this mod being actually added to the policy - very odd.
And tim - yes they can cancel it, they will give you 7 days notice tho and a pro rata refund ( and yes - i have read the small print)

Yes I thought it would be odd not having it in the small print.
yup
nice one, did you use the braided brake hoses glitch too? i got mine sorted for £211, with 6points and 1 claim. my claim expires on 4th march, and would have cut the premium by £30, but at that price i wont split hairs
When people have found glitches on websites before and bought something like a plasma screen for £10.00 instead of £1000, I'm sure the companies have wriggled out as the price on display is seen as an 'invitation to treat'.
In this case, because everything is done online (to save money), you enter details, pay cash & the system generates the policy - I reckon that as soon as a real person discovers the glitch, they'll have letters in the post cancelling all the policies.
If these letters were put in the post Friday, you could find yourselves driving uninsured for the weekend - or they may allow you a few days' grace & refund you pro-rata.
And they'll probably use the excuse of a malicious hacker...

Couldn't get them to quote me with two claims and no points.
Even i'm not going to bother with this lol, too much grief, must be getting old
:chin: is it worth it?
If its on a car you already own and your renewal is up then fo course it is, what do you have to lose?
Just don't go buying a car which you otherwise wouldn't be able to insure, because if the policy gets cancelled you lumbered with a car you can't really afford.
