Shannons Insurance Just Keeps On Getting Better!


Recommended Posts

I just received the following letter in the mail (abridged):

In addition to a top level comprehensive cover, agreed value and lower rates dependings on usage, Shannons cover for cars [now] includes:

- 14 day vehicle hire if your vehicle is stolen (up yo $1500);

- Cover while taking part in a professional course designed to improve skills on the road;

- Replacement, recoding or rekeying of locks and keys following damage to, or loss or theft of, your keys (up tp $1000);

- Multi-vehicle discount if you insure more than one car or bike with us.

How awesome is that? I haven't called to clarify yet, but I would be quite confident in saying that SAU-organised track/skidpan/driver training days (which are all CAMS approved) fall neatly under that category!!!

So bring on the Shannons insurance, and BRING ON THE TRACKDAYS!!!!

thats pretty good news about the pro course thing..

But that wouldnt exactly cover SAU events would it?

Again, I haven't called to clarify, but why wouldn't it?

SAU (CAMS affiliated car club) organised a trackday which is CAMS approved and has ambulances on hand, course officials and "driving instructors" surely would falls directly under that umbrella.

I thought it might be only for the driver training days out there already, not club days. But if it covers SAU days as well then sweet :(

"driver training days out there already"?

So what, days held by driver training companies started in the future don't fall under this clause? :(:P

It would be quite hard to distinguish between a "driver training" day held by Aaron McGill and one organised through Aaron McGill for SAU members, and an SAU trackday at Wakefield with instructors.

They all occur with the aim of "improv[ing] skills on the road".

"driver training days out there already"?

So what, days held by driver training companies started in the future don't fall under this clause?  :(:P

Yeah, yeah, yeah plus the ones that may come later as well :(

and I have only ever been to club drag days, and private track days, so I'm not sure how the club track days are organised and whats invovled so I cant really comment on them I guess

Yes it is for CAM's approved drive days, I had this confirmed about 3wks ago when getting a quote ($28k '94 GTR cheaper than a $18k '95 GTS-t quote a year earlier, hows that for a quote).

only professionals pete :(

Shannons paid out 1800 to us for a new rear windscreen the day after we took out a policy.

And the limited use insurance for a gtr agreed value $35,000 was $700pa :(

They are bastards about who they will insure but if you tell them you are an SAU club member and regularly attend events you will have a better chance getting covered.

Agreed. I told them I was a financial SAU member and they insured me no questions asked. Their quote was the cheapest, their excesses and agreed values are relatively fair and they give you a pay by the month option (for no extra cost).

Big thumbs up for Shannon's from me...i'll never insure my car with Just Cars again :P

HHmmm interesting read.....the ceffie is due for insurance renewal & i may have to give this a look into. Just Cars have been good but if I can be covered for track days....well the choice is simple!

I like Just Cars- but very honestly don't love their work when it came to a (not at fault) claim. So much hassle and still not happy with their fix a year on.

Shannons seems very cool for what my opinion is worth- hard to get insurance with (for a good reason) and worth it once you're on board.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
