I thought the option of comparison sites would come up but some years ago I went that option and got a cheap deal through Hastings Direct and then had an absolute nightmare with them. My experience is that the lowest price in anything nearly always means the lowest possible service when you need it, so I guess I was going against my beliefs. I think I'll give LV a ring and have a bit of a winge and see what they say.

Easy. Old fart with a car far too powerful for his age and lives in Scotland where it is ALWAYS raining or snowing! SAGA will have a small stroke with those odds... :poke: :lol:

If it's anything like the last conversation I had with them, an 18 year old will tell you to feck off (in the politest way of course)! :)

I do every year, use Quidco at the same time just when I saw those prices thought I’d give them a try, won’t be doing that again :lol:

          And to settle one other argument.... What is not covered - Loss or damage caused by theft or attempted theft if you leave a window or sun-roof open.
          The number of people I see who park their cars with the top open (all makes) and then walk away. Just need some drunken idiot to come along and do something stupid and you're stuffed!

          And then next year will increase premiums by 50% and for the next 10 years.
          Fixed that for you! No need for thanks.. :)
