Hi all,
Anyone know the score with car insurance and whether you declare factory fitted options as modifications? I've been shopping around the comparison sites and also some of the big guns comparing quotes and it makes a huge difference. On one site the premium jumped £200 just because I ticked 3 boxes - Parking sensors, uprated braking (for the City braking system) and lowered suspension. Scary!
However on Aviva's siteit says anthing other than factory fitted options has to be declared so that might be worth checking out.I've also emailed Allianz to see what their take on it as well as I belive they're behind the VW insurance.
Can anybody shed any light on this?
It seems a bit harsh to really hike the premiums for what is a 1 litre car with a couple of extras on it - not a hot rod with a nitro kit and Carlos Fandango wheel trims!
Just spoken to VW Insurance and as far as they are concerned if it left the factory with the options bolted to it then they don't need to know about it.
Happy days!
Hi guys,
Where’s the best place to get a replacement light switch. eBays full of them but I’m not sure half of them will work. I’ve tried one of our T5 and that’s different and most of the eBay ones state that they fit both t5’s and up’s?
Trying to avoid the main stealers obviously

Hi Guys & Girls
Bored and locked down, got to thinking about how rare my lovely TSi is. So had a look at the DVLA survivors website
As of Q3 2019, so 6 months old, but really 3, as data runs quarterly in arrears
GTi 2724 and TSi 535, far less common, more exclusive, so why run with the herd...
