Well, less than 24hrs now until the grand pick up!

Phoned Ford Insure today to get 7day free cover just so the dealer can tax the car on my behalf. After about 20mins answering many boring questions i'm informed that they are not willing to insure me. Great! Luckily they gave me a cover note though so the garage will still be able to tax. Good times!

Just joined ST-RS.co.uk.

i had that with ford when i brought mine. Thought it was a bit strange considering its a ford car but mine was just to get the number plates changed on the car. Welcome to the site too

Thanks (and thanks to everyone, lovely welcome!).

Yeah, it is an odd one, kinda looks bad on their part that they're telling me to phone their number to get insurance then they aren't willing to do it. I think the cover is underwritten by another company though and it was them who were being awkward.

Going to post up my first (real) thread now, hope to get some good help in there.

more than likely its underwitten by aviva as thats what my ford dealer does.

Hmm, the odd thing with that is my actual insurance is with Aviva which is by far the cheapest i've found. Really pleased with their service so far and they gave me an excellent quote on my Hyundai.

I think they mentioned "sun alliance" or something like that, can't remember the exact name and I know sun alliance isn't right.

What are "he-man dual controls?" - Driving instructor controls?

hey

ye i imagine the previous owner was an instructer and left them in when he sold it. i didnt even know when i bought the car, found out when i was cleaning it

what a ridiculous car to teach in
