    When I switched from the focus to the s-max, Hastings were the cheapest renewal (handy as I was already with them) so I figured it would just be an admin fee of 20 quid or so + the increased premium to change the car.

    Turns out they wanted to charge me almost 200 quid to change the vehicle, however they could cancel the policy for 12 quid as long as I took out a new policy for the s-max!

    You really have to wander where they pull all this from when its as stupid as this. Same with them trying to pull a fast 1 and charge you more come renewal time than previous year.

    Not really but its probably in the terms and conditions so theres probably little you can do.  Can you swap it to your new car instead of canceling?

    Hey Danny i wont be sorting out a new car until i am home so swapping the policy over aint an option at the minuite. I have sent an email back saying im not happy with the commission so we shall see what they say u dont try u dont get. 

     

    After a quick google search seems alot of people have been charged an extreme amount to cancel or change policies some of them even been cheaper to run out even after just a few months in. Will see what they reply with tomorrow. 

    No dout it will be hidden away in some small print.

  3. Emailed adrian flux to cancel my policy today for the integra for a refund of the remaining balance as i had paid in full. 

    I knew i would have to pay some sort of cancellation fee. The insurer wants £27 to cancel adrian flux wants £25 to cancel and they always want full commission on top so in all they are trying to charge me £130 off the refund that i am been owed.

    Does this seem fair to you guys? 

     

  4. Car is sold :) first person who viewed it snapped it up. Now need to decide on next purchase. Do fancy another golf r. Decisions decisions.

     

    Cobra serbring pro kevlar seat left over £400

  5. Well looks like the switch for max was a gd 1 going from his qualifying hes certainly adapted to the car well i thought he was gonna pip his team mate today. See how the stratagies work out tomorrow. If i remeber hearing correctly only the mercedes and max managed 1.26 on the medium tyres. Kyvat didnt seem pleased with the teams decision to send him out again in q1 was it.

     But yeh your right mark we have alot of work coming through at the moment which seems like aero changes. The new factory is still having work done on it also.

  6. Bought myself an xps 15 9550 and it isnt half doing my head in. Several times of day i get the dreaded bsod with error code critical error. If i leave it to shut down then i get no internet acess and have to do a recovery after it restarts but it still connects to the wifi no problem. But if i just hold down power button during the bsod its fine. I have updated all drivers and bios. I have googled and seems its quite a known error on windows 10. I had this error with an alienware laptop several year ago but updating the bios soon sorted that out.

     

    When i do the command prompt and sfc /scannow it does find a corrupt file in windows but it cant fix it. Considering just doing a fresh install of windows to see if this helps the case or just send the thing back although when it is working its great

     

    anyone else on windows 10 with issues?

  7. I heard this tuesday at work regarding verstappen moving up to redbull before the news about it today. Few insiders say its happening but thats all i have heard. If it doesnt happen before spain i think its just a matter of time before it does come.

  8. I need some advice on european breakdown cover. Have got another years contract so plan is drive the car from aberdeen to italy  in june and have a mini euro road trip with the misus on the way over. Will be getting the car serviced and mot to give it a clean bill of health but im still not 100 percent sure shell make it haha.

    With looking to get some good track time done over here also anything could go wrong. 

     

    Is anyone able to recommend good cover that worst case scenario engine or anything major goes i could get the car recovered back my adress in the uk? And carry on my journey with the misus or if it broke down here i could also ask for it to be taken back to uk also.

  9. Headed up to imola circuit yesterday as there was an open track day on. It was full of serious motors porsche gt3-gt3rs/gt4 loads of ferraris and several mean lotus cars also. 

    Unfortunatly didnt get much pictures but this car was a bit special have no idea what it is but heres a few pictures.

    Circuit looked awsome and its only a 10 min drive from where am staying. Cant wait to get the teg over but on the other hand made me want a new car also :P

    The new bmw m2 also was on show there looks rather nice.

  10. Home for 2 weeks thought it was about time to fit new intake was a bit of a faff to get on but got there in the end. Took it out for a wee spin dunno if i notice much difference will need to keep an eye on the temps and get it on the dyno see if any power changes. But think i mite modify the front bumper to put in a cold air feed more air the better.
