well my renewel is cummin up with just cars and my premium has gone up to 3995 and my agreed value of the car has dropped to a crappy 25k. how the hell does that work.

i just got a quote pretending to be a new cust and was quoted 2500.

i guess my question is what if i made a new account and just paid the 2500 premium instead of the 4k.

and yes my details were identical

You are entitled to cancel or not renew your contract and accept the new quote - so long as details are disclosed as is. Why not? They are simply messing with rates/sum insured to screw you by the sounds of it.

Ring the insurance company and tell them your not happy with the renewal

Generally they will try and bump up the agreed value, but as the trade off you pay slightly more for your premium

Give and take really

yeah i remember you starting a few threads on here about accidents you had, including 1 involving a commodore who sped off. that would have affected your no claim bonus. anyway, didnt Just Cars spend lots of money fixing your car? a premium increase on their behalf isnt a big deal, especially after they pay to get your car back on the road and all fixed.

incorrect none of those accidents had any effect on my rating what so ever as i was not responsible.

nehoo ill give em a call see what happens.

This sounds like a loss of no claim bonus. Regardless of fault in your claims, if you were not able to obtain third party details for your insurer to claim off the other party, you may have lost part of it.

Yea thats true, if you make a claim wether its your fault or not it effects your rating and your premium at the end of the year, if you think about it this way, if someone hit you and they went through their insurance its all good cos just cars didn't do anything, if you claim and its not your fault your premium goes up, those sonsofbitches. And if you get a prick of a assesor and he spots something on your car thats not listed they wont cover you... But the value of the car depreciates every year unfortunatly so its not suprising that its gone down that much cos the same thing happened to me. Just call them and start asking them 1000 questions and dont get off the phone until your satisfied.

the amount of crashes you have had (regaurdless of whether you are at fault) is going to affect your costs.

you could try applying for insurance under the new quote but more than likely 1 of the 2 following will happen:

1: they look up your details and put the price up anyway.

2: they don't put your price up and if you have an accident they look up your previous details and refuse to pay.

as for the value of the car. once it has been in that many accidents the value is going to drop. no-one wants a car that has been dinged up heaps of time. and there are that many skylines out there now they aren't worth much.

so harden the f**k up and get your daddy to pay it.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
