In today days the process for chossing a Reputable Auto Insurance Company has become very complicated. How do you know what companies are reputable and which are just out to take your money and provide little in return? Before you shop, the first question to ask yourself is what is it you want from your auto insurance company. Mainly, you want them to:

• Be fair – handle your claims in a fair and timely fashion

• Have a strong financial outlook

• Have few complaints filed against them

• Be rated highly by private rating services

• Be honest with you – tell you what coverages you need given your circumstances and how much it will cost

• Be responsive to your questions – have someone available to answer your coverage and claim questions

• Have a history of good service

There’re so many categories of auto insurance coverage. What coverage do you need most? What can you do without? Picking up the best coverage options takes some time and efforts.

1. Go to the website of your state’s department of insurance. Therefore you’ll have a better understanding of your state’s auto insurance coverage requirements.

2. Check and review your driving record. Minimum coverage is not enough for risky drivers.

3. In addition to your driving record, you also need to consider other factors when deciding how much coverage you need.

4. Perhaps the most important step for finding the best coverage is to obtain the best auto insurance rates for your needs.

5. Extra Bonus.

1) I periodically talk to two of my friendly panelbeaters

2) An insurance company is hard to trust when one staff member at LSV refers to a fellow worker as a dope

3) It's difficult to stay loyal to only one insurance company when it ups the premium the following year and you find that their opposition is cheaper > back & forth: back & forth

4) With regard to your reference of honesty, it can be hard to tell if your insurance rep is honest when you can't see his face, and his fellow worker tells you something different.

5) If you've had an indiscretion, the company tries to get that money back the following year - big time - not just gradually!

I treat companies as being guilty until proven innocent. That's how they've treated me.

Too right Terry.

What other industry has moved to such widespead use of private detectives for claim interviews.

Hardly a show of confidence/competence in their own staff.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
