Your using the car more often now and on your own? They probably see you as more of a risk now so sounds about right. I find Turbo Diesels are dearer to insure anyway!

this is what happened to someone else i knew.
but he never got a new certificate of insurance saying he was full UK instead of provisional.
im thinking if he crashes quinn will no pay out.

they did the same with dan-h on here as well, went up from £1200 to £1700
shop around, find a better deal then cancel the policy with quinn.

Finally realising that Quinn are shit?
Tbh you must of expected it to go up. Why didnt you factor that in? Or got a quote on the car for when you had passed your test to give you the real cost.
You couldnt have thought that your insurance was going to be £1000 for a group 5 car at 17 could you?

How the fuck do you all get quotes like this ?
When i was 17 my first car was a nova gte and i was only paying £1100 third party fire and theft.
And to be honest i wouldnt pay a penny more that that ever.
