So I started looking again at insurance quotes for the landy as I remembered that a second car can't have NCB on, I have a look online and the cheapest comes up as flux direct, £53 P.A fully comp and they give mirrored ncb. Nice I thinks, have a bit of that!

Ring up to arrange, ask general questions and they ask me all the same details I had entered online after I quoted the reference number. In the mean time, I have a gander for reviews on the interweb, bad, bad, bad. Half way through the phone call I start having second thoughts. He did it for me, apparently my landy is a commercial vehicle as it is a 3 seater and apparently I told them it was a saloon...... OK...

So with those facts the price swiftly jumped up to £900....

BTW from the reviews, stay away from flux direct, too dodgy IMHO!

You must have to admit £53 fully covered sounds way to good to be true

Oh yeah but, It was worth a tickle. Hence why i looked at reviews. The next best was £200, I'd obviously rather pay that for a "reputable" company.

Cheers, I'll give them a ring tomorrow. I'm going to use the series as a daily driver in the end so will be able to bring the NCB in, just want to run both cars until I have complete faith in it starting once I've carried out all it's TLC.

Hi Monkfish

Sorry to hear about your experience if you would like to DM me with the refference number I can speak to Flux direct and see if I can help.

Thankyou

Hi try NFU insurance I have tried to find cheaper but cant I am fully comp for just over £300 with brake down cover

monkfish24 · Mar 12, 2014

Richard thank you for the offer but after reading the reviews, already being messed about by them I'm not going to go with them.

Scarecrow, thanks for that, I will try them a bit later.

Oh and I'm guessing Adrian flux and flux direct are linked?

If so, until Poppy's insurance gets sorted out, I won't touch flux with a barge pole.

Something I have just found. Your insurance will charge about £30 for legal cover. Try googling "motor legal cover" and you will find you can get it way cheaper!

PM you mean, if Flux were as keen at sorting out non fault claims as getting the money in- people would be more likely to recommend Flux.

So will it be Dave/Paul or someone else next week?

Hopefully Flux will get a kick up arse from insurance ombudsmen soon-watch this space as Flux have appalling record with regular forum members.
