when i was with directline at 17, they only allowed one mod, one more and they would give me the boot.

well just tried them again, bloke this time he said he would cover it but had to check. The people the are underwritten by said to him that they wont cover an engine mod till over 25. Stupid really as above shows, they do. Give up now.

Think I'll buy a standard new car!

Maybe it was the operator like u say!

my fiesta was with direct line, I declared lowering springs and an induction kit... had no problems with them :|

I think it must of been the woman I spoke to as I have just asked them to insure it as a 1.4 and with that reg plate it it was fine??

Yes they do, mine is modded an Ive always been insured with them - cheapest i cud find 2 an they only chgd me £50 4 all the work I had done 2 :thumbs:

Women however r a diff story!!!

Ive just rang another insurance company and they said it just needs to be insured as what it is now, not previously!

Make their flamin minds up!

I think they didnt really know what to say at directline. Two other companies have said just that it can be insured as a 1.4.

The old 1.0 engine broke so thats why there is a 1.4 in it now.

What is the point in an engine conversion from 1.0l to a 1.4? Just buy a sport.

Oh directline covered my ciquecento sporting when i passed my test with a zorst, K&N and ICE?? I was 17??

yeah, looks like it. Was looking at buying brand new in september then. Never mind, i'll have to wait till then!

They insured my RST??
With these mods,
Superchip with switch -7/14psi, Silicone Tubing - water and turbo, GrpA Head Gasket, -31 Actuator, Magnex Full System, AP 4 Paddle Clutch, Induction Kit, Avo shocks and springs.......

Find one that came from the factory with a 1.4 engine?

Good thing my car is standard then! ;)

(I'm with Privilege, who are part of Direct Line)

Directline will not insure any car with a mod if you are under 25.

Ive looked at buying a corsa with an engine replacement from a 1.0 to a 1.4.

They'll insure the 1.4 for me at no extra cost, but becasue its a change of engine they class it as an engine mod and will not insure it! :mad::mad:
