Mines 535 Fully comp / protected no claims with Halifax but i think the policy is actually with e-sure.

I'm 31 with 8 years no claims...though i did have an own fault claim year before last which puts my price up a little even with protected no claims.

Cheers

Dave.

This is a very daft question but.....................

Anybody know if when replacing the pedal box they leave the existing pedals???? I've got TT pedals fitted at the mo and just wondered if they should keep the existing pedals in situ.

Cheers
