| Car insurance? who would you recommend? hi, i just realised about 20 minutes ago after picking up a renewal letter that my car insurance runs out at the end of the day. DAMN!! just made me wonder whether it's worth shopping around for a new quote or sticking with them. so basically out of interest, who do you recommend for cheap insurance? |

| Confused.com Endsleigh if you are a student Tesco Elephant And dont forget to get a couple quotes and make them fight for it, although you not got much time for that. I had endsleigh slug it out against motaquote - this dropped me at least 60 quid i think.   Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors. |

| I'm actually with norwich union myself at the moment, and i must say that so far they are the cheapest with only £385.97 for a renewal but i'm still looking, it's annoying cause i'm now paying more insurance for a newer k reg 1.1 metro s then i did last year for my old h reg 1.3 metro clubman. god damn that little s in it's name!!! |

| I don't think its fair comment to say forget any insurnace company, one that is outrageously expensive for one car, might be the best quote on another. So many varyables to providing a quote, best thing is to get a mag like Top Gear/Evo/What Car and look through the insurance section at the back. Go through each company and find the cheepest, might take some time, but its saved me some £££. |

| Direct line and Churchill are very good, and very cheap. My mother was with Direct Line last year, she was paying £340. But it went up this year to £380, so she is now with Churchill for £350 |

 Also they don't like ANY modifications to vehicles and check them with a fine toothcomb for any violations - the other reason I parted company with them. As for recommendations I'm with Liverpool Victoria who are fantastic - they don't care about modifications or points/convictions and gave me a really good price (although touch wood not had the chance to test their policy yet ) Originally Posted by The Mock Turtle System:Atari 2600 CPU:8-bit 6507 (1.19MHz) RAM:128 bytes Colours: 16 (4 on screen) Resolution: 192x160

| Would a new stereo count as a modification? I replaced my tape player with a cd unit i picked up for 65 quid at a half price sale. Wonder if i am supposed to tell my insurance about it? Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors. |
