Restrictors-an insurance lesson
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 9:05 pm
Having just taken my restrictors out ( and yes it made a material difference) I thought I would do the decent thing and let me insurers know.Apparently the classic insurance policy I am on does not allow any modiifcations.After initially telling me a sister company could insure for a 500% increase (roughy half the value of the vehicle) they then changed their minds and said they could not insure it at all as it had 12 seats.
This echoes the total frustration I had a few months ago trying to insure my Defender 300 TDI 110 CSW ( with a couple of mods) when only one insurer ( among the supposedly specialist 4x4 insurers) would insure it.
The lesson is check with your insurers before making mods especially if you have a 12 seater.
