that's because you have 0 NCB then =]
when you insure with direct line it will be for 2 months, so you only pay the extra money for those 2 months... then you will have 1yr no claims and can get insurance really cheap! YAY

Wohaaahhh
I just did a quote exactly the same as mine but for a PD100 special edition..
£1340.16

how does that work? LOL
that's the sort of price you should be getting though,

How old are you? £1340.16 is what i want to pay lol!

The £3243 one that i did was for a PD100 dab edition 2007, how do you get one for £1340.

Yeah that's what I was think about insuring with direct line again only paying for the two months like! Then i got my 1 YNC then it should! go down a bit.

Yep - age has some benifits.

So does passing your advanced test.

I only pay £225 fully comp with £100xs on my Honda Blackbird ( 0-60 in 3 secs and 180+ top end )

I'm 18, with 1yr, I'm paying less for my TDi FR than a quote for a PD100 ?
I'll send you a PM if I can work out how

EDIT

Where the hell are you getting quotes???

Try direct line.

 

[thePHILosipher]

Dont think i coulf be trusted with a FR lol!Would be nice tho.

I have found a nice 2007 1.9 tdi DAB, 100bhp. But is £5,495 which is my limit and it got 70,000 miles on clock, but its 80 mile away again! Who did you insure that with, i am currently with Direct line. Think i need to phone my insurance and get some quotes on the 1.4tdi and the 1.9tdi.

Cheers for the advise people! Happy to be a member of this forum!

i was with direct line but their prices have gone up considerably over the past year so i would suggest going through the comparison sites find the cheapest and then ring them direct. When i took the insurance out on the FR they sent me the renewal at £1076, i rang them and pushed a bit and got it down to £800 something

make the trip if you find the right car, mine for example was 60 miles away, i had the choice of the one i bought or one 5 min's away for the same price, mine had more kit less miles etc and the same price, i was happy to make the 100+ miles round trip as it was the right car. Your spending alot of money so be prepaired to make alot of trips

 

[rod the sod]

I am on egg motor insurance - i have 0 no claims - paying £800 quid a year with wheels, intercooler and exhaust insured on the ibiza 1.9tdi! not told them about the hybrid turbo yet tho! i think your better off sending the money you want to spend on the remap on the 1.4tdi on the insurance on the 1.9tdi!
up to you tho!

can't PM you sorry, profile doesn't allow it

Egg motor insurance = never heard of them lol. i will try them! Your spot on with what i was thinking about getting the 1.4tdi mapped. What sort of power can you map it to without putting to much stress on the engine with all standard parts?

 

[Dazz 1989]

can't PM you sorry, profile doesn't allow it

Is that cuz i am a newbie????

 

[rod the sod]

the 1.4tdi - you will b looking @ 140 to 150 bhp i would have thought, with the 1.9tdi figures should be about 160 to 170 bhp just with the standard map!
its worth getting a good map tho, i payed angel tuning to do mine @ about £300 but my turbo broke about 5k later! not 100% sure it was the map - could have just been one of those things!

Tbh i dont think i would want that sort of power, i mean they are 80bhp standard i would probs be happy with about 110bhp! I not been driving for to long so i dont want to push it lol!
