Hi fellow Stag owners,

My full comp policy is soon up for renewal. Shopping around for better options as you do these days.

Just wanted opinions, feedback and recommendations from fellow Stag owners regarding the insurers you guys are using.

Edited by ECR33_RB25DET

Will be taking out a new policy on friday for my 99 s2 stagea, most likey with RACV.

I have only found RACV & Just Cars to insurue to so far.

based on $13,000 agreed valued, and garaged in 3196

Just Cars $2096 p/a

RACV $1080 p/a

Just cars penalises me for a drink driving issue 2 1/2 years ago, racv dont.

Just cars.... Best price for me... Insured in my name but wife drives.

Well gents this is why I initially created this thread.

I am currently with Just Cars and have been with all my vehicles for the last 5 years or more. It is time to part ways with them now....

Last 12months premium was $1309, the renewal notice arrived and now they have increased is to $1969. This is absurd.

In addition without notice they knocked down the agreed value by over $3k.

They can't seem to correctly justify the $660+ increase.

Just Car did the same thing with me, I laughed so hard when it came in the mail...

I'm now with SGIC, they gave me a better agreed value and cheaper premium, they were also nicer to deal with on the phone.

Just Car called back after my insurance with them expired and I almost laughed in there face and told them to stick it.

Its how insurance companies work. They jack up the premiums etc every year, you call them and they drop it back down. For every person who calls and negotiates it back town, 10 will just pay it.

I disputed the situation with Just Car and they could not correctly justify the $660 increase and would not budge. So we parted ways.

I did my shopping around and now am with Lumley Special Vehicles for both vehicles.

Thanks gents for all your input.

That's bulls&$t, mines due in 2 months hope it doesn't rise like that..Currently at 960 full comp,higher excess though...

All mods listed?

Can't comment for sky^rkt BUT

as for me; all mods listed, $25K agreed, $1K excess, wife as primary driver as its the family wagon. All for $966pa (monthly instalments).

Fingers crossed you are lucky. See how you go.

Good idea is to do a new online quote for your car with Just Cars, see what a fresh policy quote comes out to being even with the higher excess option. If it is significantly higher then expect your renewal notice to only be $50-100 less to that of online quote; my renewal was $1969 from $1309. An online quote for identical cover come in at $2046. No Bull!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
