Has anyone declared EGR blanking to insurance company? what do they think about it, I'm 17 and with nfu, not sure how well they'd take it/whether to tell them

I'm slightly older, but insured through Adrian Flux brokers, all my mods/accessories declared and still cheaper than all the mainstream insurers. Also in a club which adds a bit of a discount!

Tbh under normal insurance its up to you whether you consider removing the EGR to be defined as a modification. Its open to interpretation but could be used as a technicality perhaps.

I'm 17 and with nfu and as far as I know I can do anything I want as long as it isn't an engine modification. I think they'd probably say it is so you'd have to tell them.

But personally I wouldn't bother. I don't even have an egr so I don't have that issue.

nice fender,get a disklok!! and you probably dont have egr, my n reg 300 doesnt.

Its abit muddy but here's some pictures

wasting money on a decat tho wont get you extra gnd clearance and wont get you out the sticky stuff

Decat £20 for better sound, performance and economy, decent set of modulars, 500odd quid, I wish I could mate
Looking out for a bargain on eBay at the moment!

Do you think I could slip some modulars into my 205/16's cos they were brand new tyres when I bought it, how much would I get if I sold them ?

tbh m8 the 205s are way way too small your better off putting a bigger tyre on the rims ya got

Agree completely with the too small, mate offered me som alloys with 265's, quite alot of people seem to think alloys look gay though, and I kinda agree

i could probably buy one a month for 5 months then one tyre a month for 5 months,but me 90 would never get anything else repaired in that time.

I know I'm in the wrong forum, but nice Landy....for my 2pence worth I'd just spray the wheels black for the mo and see what u think. Cheap and in my opinion gonna be a good look.
