bullet_uk Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 just been getting a few insurance quotes together on-line and every time i put the reg in it was coming back as a manual is this because its an import or could it have once of been a manual????? or just some other reasonable answer?

Josh Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Doesn't it always have "manual" as the preset answer and you have to change it if you have an auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew somebody would know i was thinking it would be a bit strange to convert to auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though you are declaring as an auto if it's registered as a manual they may think it's been converted! And insurance companies love excuses like this to not pay out.

KamaSupra Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 If it's not a mistake and somebody has changed their manual box to an auto box, I'll gladly swap my auto box for a manual one. Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
