Have you asked the insurer what they'd sell the car back to you for?

Well my GTI was found in Bradford

Someone had notified the police that 3 scallys (2 White, 1 Asian) have been seen driving a black GTI.

When the car was recovered it had been cloned with a GTI from Manchester, so if you are from Manchester and have a 57 plate balck 3 door GTI possibly advertised for sale then it could be yours.

The police said that they will try contact the owner over the next few days.

Question.

As my insurance company have already paid out and now own the car, will i be allowed to swap the RNS510 (if its still in the car)with the original RCD300?

Not sure where i stand with this as it wasnt declared.

Think you might have to swallow the costs

Makes me sick living in Bradford.


There was a big story in the local paper a couple years back now about a gang of lads stealing cars and I went to school with a couple of them...scum.

Need to get me some money saved up and get away from this sh*thole of a city.

insurers paid out within 10 days of it being reported stolen?

blimey, that must be a record!

thought they'd give the police a chance to find it first.

I have my building and contents (home) insurance through LV, they are without a shadow of doubt the best company out there.
And I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone.

Just been over to Bradford to hand over the spare key.

My car had obviously been involved in another incident as there are massive dents and pix-axe holes on the boot

All the rear windows had been sprayed black from the inside and the stereo has been taken.

The guy at SOS said they had 6 stolen recovered black Golfs in at the same time just before Christmas.


PS, if anyone buys an RNS510 (version c) with a tiny little nic just above the MAP button then let me know

I just tried a quote from LV and they say


"We are unable to insure you for the following reason:
Sorry, we are unable to provide you with a quotation as 
We cannot insure you because we require a higher level of security to be fitted to this car."


WTF ??  :stupid:

My renewal came in with tracker required!!!

Now insured via First Direct. Cheapest by a mile for both cars no silly excess.

Just hope I don't need to make any claims.

Just tried a quote by LV, they are unable to give me a quote due as they need higher security on the car (this is the mk2 by the way)... its got an immob, cant see an alarm being of much use!

Anyway, the search for the cheapest insurance continues... £275 so far
