I have received my renewal insurance details from Tesco which is £337 and includes motor legal protection, NCD protection and a small courtesy car etc. But they will NOT offer re-map insurance.

The ONLY viable insurer by a mile who WOULD are Liverpool Vic. They would provide approx. similar general cover at a cost of £418 or £458 with a re-map.

Problem is, after the cost of the re-map I would have the extra cost of initally £121 and presumably every year thereafter, but I would also be bound into LV at each renewal and we all know that insurers can milk you after the initial year. As I said other re-map insurers quoted over £600+ p.a.

My heart wants to re-map but my pensioner's head says steady on "Is it worth it"?

I have the re map (160 Phil T4),I notified my insurance and it was at no extra cost.

There is a noticeable difference in the driving experience,a small saving on fuel but the smile on your face is priceless

Together Forever

Lonely days are long
Twilight sings a song
All the happiness that used to be

Soon my eyes will close
Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams, you're always near to me

I'll see you in my dreams
And then I'll hold you in my dreams
