I have a nice xr3i with a turbo lump in it. Iv had i for a a good fuw mounths now as my project and it wont be long till i mot it. Will it pass the mot as it is down as a xr3i on log book or will the emishions be different. If it wont pass like that how could i stop the turbo from working so it just runs like a normal injection.
thanks for looking

 

So, if it is down as an XR3i on the logbook, don't tell me, you are uninsured too??

 

im not driveing at the moment but when i get it running tidy i will be insuring it so at the moment no. if i tell the insurance that it,s got a turb lump in it i will never be able to aford it only been driving for 2 years

 

If the turbo engine is set up right, it should pass the MOT like that. For cars of that age there aren't the car specific guidelines about emissions that there are for new cars.

You know that your insurance will actually be void if you don't tell them you have a turbo engine in it? So you might aswell not bother.

 

Thanks for the advise about the emissions as for the insurance i will take my chances after the last car i had a escort 1.3 populer didn,t do anything for my street cred thanks for your help

 

But it's not about taking your chances. Insurance in there to protect Third Parties mainly. What about if you knock someone over and seriously injure them, resulting in tens of thousands of pounds in medical care. Who will pay for that? That's what insurance is for.

Sorry, but Bollocks to your street cred, don't be so irresponsible.

 

fuckin dreamer

 

your right mate i should thell the insurance company

 

COCK ..... I can't think of anything else to say, except... COCK

 

It's hard, we all had to start somewhere. It doesn't seem fair that at 32 years old I am still driving an RST (OK a fucking lairy RST), having always done things the right way and fully declaring everything, but I could get hit on the road and lose everything to someone whose insurance company won't pay out as their policy-holder told porky-pie's.

Do the right thing.

 

My Escort Cossie insurance is actually CHEAPER with the Mods declared, as it shows I will take better care of the car

Give Greenlight a ring flat out, if you are 19 and have 1 yrs NCB they will do their best to help you

 

 

As long as you have learnt mate, there is no shame in admitting you made a mistake, do a bit of ringing round and find some prices out

How old are you? How many years NCBs do you have and how many points you got?

 

im 24 with with no ncb,s was on mother name with 3 points

 

3 points for speeding shouldn't make too much difference. I recon you should be able to get insured for around £700 TPFT

 

the best i could do was money supermarket the cheapest one i could find was 1100 on a xr3i

 

The thing is, you really should have taken it on the chin from the word go. Getting on your Mum's insurance only helped in the short term.

 

i know but money was tight

 

Think yourself lucky i was paying £1800 TPFT on my mk5 3i 3 years ago

 

i pay £800 for a ERST! with 1 claim, and 1 years no claims and im 20,
when i was 17 i payed £2000 for my old ERST!!!!

 

hi mate, i have just insured my mk3 turbo cab im 23 and not using any ncb .alloy wheels, body kit, turbo engine and doing around 300 miles a year and it cost me £352. https://www.hertsinsurance.com/ give them ago if you can limit the miles you do it can save you a packet
