Docomospur 3rd Gear January 24, 2020 Share January 24, 2020 15 hours ago, Theoldjaffa said: I have been on MSIG for the past 2 years. why go thru BM? There’s so many Brokers out there that can source for the lowest insurer for you. Do you have any recommendations for a broker? I've usually just dealt direct with the insurers, never gone through BM before. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it looks like their in-house unit is brokering between the 2 now. The price gap between the 2 is quite substantial though, without a major difference in benefits, so it looks a bit like Hobson's choice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally agree with you, the pre facelift 2013 model is too ah pekish, 2018 model is however too much for me. 2016 model is just nice in between the two extremes. Possible to share some thoughts on market price ? I see most listing at around 14-14.5k , reasonable? Bro, I guessed it's about there.

Thanks, have reached out to a few and will see what they're like, in comparison to BM's quotes. Does anyone have any experience dealing with Liberty on claims?

Does anyone have any experience dealing with Liberty on claims? Did you try calling the insurance company directly. I was offered AIG when I bought the car 3 years back then BM changed to MSIG - prices quoted was not competitive. I call AIG up directly and they offered me the same coverage for significantly lower (50% cheaper). Made a claim at BM a year back and they processed it as normal.

But I’ve been using 5W-30 subsequently on other brands of engine oil. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For warm climates, my manual allows 30wt oil also. So this one should be perfect for those who change their own oil, or trying to bring their own oil into workshop.

Earthboy 4th Gear February 24, 2020 Share February 24, 2020 If 20 is recommended it shouldn't matter if mileage is high? I know some are saying old car better use thicker oil but dont see the manual qualify that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
