What fun!
After having decided on a 3000 V6, rang LV for a quote to transfer insurance from Scooby to Paj!
"Is it a new vehicle? We don't have that listed!"
" No! It's a 1991 model!"
They then proceeded to put me on hold whilst they rang the underwriter, who also did not have it on their 'list'. Then came back to me saying that they had no details of a 3000 V6, but would put a note on my file and insure me for a 3.5 - more money but at least you will be insured!
We will then get it on the system in about 14 days.
How legal is this?
Would I be covered should I have an accident?
Any ideas? |

Seawolf2u ... in this instance I believe there's been a genuine mistake ... if people use the Quick Quote system before they contact LV, they will know for sure if their vehicle model is already on the LV system and you will get a rough idea of the premium you will be charged.
Better still, it gives you some ammo when you talk to agents who claim to be unable to find the information!
I've just been in and can see the V6 models listed, (I don't see the 2.8 tdi auto though, but I'm sure it will appear)
I hope this helps.
Simon. |

Just wondering if anybody else has a 2.8 tdi L reg 1993 , as i have just found out(which I have suspected for some time) that the 2.8 only came out in 1994 (could still be on an L 1994 but if it was a new model out in 1994 surely it should be on an M plate ) ,so begs the question how have I been able to get insured on a car that was'nt in existance in 1993
anybody with anyother info please let me know as I am going to inform the DVLA of the situation. |

What you may find is that the Car is an L 1994 because Jap car registrations I belive(sure someone will correct me) run from Jan-Dec, and as we used to Do Aug - Jul there was always a conflict, so when there is a registration date pre Aug 94 they automatically put it down to the being registered 01/08/93. Again if I am wrong then someone is bound to correct me, but I have found this on all the cars I have had that were imports. |

So from what you have said the reg document will need to be changed to show 1994 and not 1993 , You know what insurance company's are like , any little excuse not to pay out , should any think happen to my beast |

Sorry Simon,
Have just checked out the site myself, the 3000 V6 auto is NOT listed!
(Sorry, I did not state on my earlier post that it was auto!)

I have today taken out a new policy with Liverpool Victoria, i was previously with Tesco, but the renewal notice came to me with a figure of £410, i rang LV and they said £285, I have a 2.8 TD auto, i cant believe what has been said to some other members. Maybe they have a certain criteria, and they use the auto thing as an excuse, if they dont want the business. |
