speech Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Well chuffed I joined now! Had car into T&C yesterday to get the Prodrive spring kit fitted and had them fit a H&S b/box and centre section, got the whole lot done for less than the standard fully fitted price of the springs! Just need to clean her now and de-tango the front lights this weekend, if I can work up the balls to put my headlights in the oven!!!
oobster Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Speech - you don't NEED to put them in the oven - hot water and a hairdryer was what was used on mine (not by me, but I watched).
colzo Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Can't beat a bit of discount I`ll second that, with all the discounts I`ve had I think I actually owe the club money!
speech Posted September 11, 2007 Author Posted September 11, 2007 Yeah, now looking at HID conversion with the discount set up over in Members Only, 35% is a fair chunk off. Hurrah for SIDC!!!!
thewelsho Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Yeah, now looking at HID conversion with the discount set up over in Members Only, 35% is a fair chunk off.Hurrah for SIDC!!!! Same here, got a chunk off for the AndyF group buy and saved nearly three hunner notes on insurance - Go Gary!
andy Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Go Gary I presume you're talking Gary at Keith Michaels here. Thanks for reminding me. Must phone them tomorrow and make sure I'm actually insured as my experiences with them recently have been a total fiasco to the point I don't know from one day to the next whether I'm insured or not. Totally unimpressed as things stand right now.

Totally unimpressed as things stand right now. Oh no! Don't say that! I have been given a quote which is due to start on Sept 15th. Seemed very efficient on the phone. You got me all in a tiz now!
phil Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Not had a problem myself I think Gary is away this week
thewelsho Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Not had a problem myself I think Gary is away this week Oh no again! I take it I can call anyone at KMs as I have a reference number for the quote?
andy Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Not had a problem myself I think Gary is away this week This has been ongoing since my car was delivered in July! It's not a new thing. Okay, the initial problem lay with the dealer who supplied me the wrong Reg. It was out by one letter. W instead of Y. I notified KM as soon as I knew (and before I even had the car) and was assured details would be updated. Temporary certificate came through with wrong Reg and permanent form had wrong Reg. Phoned KM, and advised again of wrong Reg. Got new temporary certificate with correct reg. Completed form (as you have to legally) correcting the error and returned it. I didn't sign it as obviously it was not for my car. Thought all was cool at that point. Had temporary certificate with correct Reg, had returned paperwork highlighting the mistakes. Next thing I got a recorded delivery no-nonsense and rather nasty letter from KM saying my policy was being cancelled as I hadn't returned my policy documents (despite them taking dosh from my bank account!) Once more onto the phone. I've given up trying to contact Gary directly as he's always "on another call" or "away from his desk" and not once over the past two years has he returned any of my calls - it's always been down to me to chase him. Nor has he or anyone ever asked for my SIDC membership number to gain SIDC member discounts, but that's a different matter... Spoke to a very helpful bloke who had to go look into it, but eventually said they'd received my policy document, but couldn't process it as I hadn't signed it Errr, I'm not about to sign a policy document for a registration number that doesn't match my car! He did say he'd cancel the cancellation notice on my temporary policy, but who knows if he did or not? I've had no correspondence to say so. I did get a new policy document through a couple of weeks ago with the correct reg and details for me to verify. I checked it, signed it and returned it as requested and heard nothing since. That was at least 14 days ago. I'm still awaiting my permanent insurance certificate and now I'm thinking am I insured or not? I remain unimpressed and wish I'd taken up A-Plan's invite to re-quote. They were spot on.
iainc Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 <snip>I remain unimpressed and wish I'd taken up A-Plan's invite to re-quote. They were spot on. It's A Plan that I use. I tried KM after getting a quote from A Plan and after hearing my age and the kind of car and the best quote so far he said he'd never manage to beat the quote and that was the conversation over
