    insurance with a engine conversion

    in International Forum

    Posted

    Thanks again everyone.

    Unfortunately due to my living arrangements I don't actually have access to a landline and my phone doesn't get signal :/

    My dad is still dealing with admiral atm as this is a similar situation as when I fitted a light bar, thy said my policy was void and couldn't be covered etc. So we filed a formal complaint and amazingle could be covered?

    I doubt seats is an issue as its a 2 seat hard top.

    Everything you guys say is being passed on for my dad to look into for me

    Cheers

    Thanks guys, is there anyway of telling what box is in by the year of vehicle?

    Also I'll be fitting the transfer box from the discovery as well.

    I have the early type of lt77. If the the box I buy is the 56a and fit it along with the 1.2 transfer box that will give the same gearing as as an lt77s fitted with the 1.2 transfer box? Or am I way off the mark?

    Thanks

    Yeah my age is the problem, I would have went with Adrian flux for my first year but they quoted nearly £3500 where as admiral multicar got me insured for £1200.

    However my slave cylinder giving our in a car park and shunting my 90 into the car behind me just before my renewal last year hasn't really helped things.

    Going to try adrian flux tomorrow and see what they say this time round.

    Cheers

    Hi guys

    So I've rang my insurance company (admiral) and asked what Tue difference would be if I fitted a 300TDI from a 19j and they've said they can't insure me (18 year old, been driving for nearly two years with one claim)

    Do I have any sort of leg to stand on to argue with them? Eg only getting changed because the original engine is tired and starting to fail?

    If that line fails then can you reccomend anyone else who will give a reasonable quote?

    Cheers

    Cheers for that harry.

    I was looking at just buying the full kit from Steve Parker but what you've said about the oil cooler hose has just got me wandering about them. Do you think that could be an issue with all of his parts?

    I'm sure that as this progresses I'll have questions to ask you.

    Cheers

    2.5td temperature mysterys

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Update...

    After changing the thermostat and the guage deciding to just sit inbetween the red and white sections I decided yo remove the thermostat all together yo see if KT was maybe the temp sender at fault and now the guage just sits barely into the bottom of the white which would signal to me a dodge thermostat?

    So does anyone have the part number for the correct part as the garage I dealt with is adamant they gave me the right part even though its different from the one I took out originally.

    Thanks

    Jamie
