I'm considering getting my valver chipped, I'm with CIS, im 19 FC as a named driver with 1 years no claim on that policy and payin £1300,
has anyone in a similar position had theirs chipped and how much did the insurance rise by?
Cheers.

Oh right, didn't know how risky that was cos isnt it quite easy for them to find out if its chipped if your involved in a crash?
obviously im not planning on crashing but know-one really ever plans to!

I told my insurance company what i had my car chipped with a massive increase in power. They said it would be £60 more for the rest of the policy (7 months left). I am 25 with 8 years no claims and 1 non fault accident. 8). I paid £40 for -25mm lowering springs though :roll:

Right, I expect mine to be a lot more than that then if you've got 8 years no claims compared to my 1!!

I told my insurance everyhting.
Funniest thing was I forget to add that its been chipped to its list of modifications head work cams manifodl decat exhaust IK. told them what HP it was supposidly then when the paperwork came through I noticed i'd forgotten remap so told them they wanted another £120 Ha Ha. As is a stock maped Williams with modifiations could make 180hp.

I wouldn't both personally, esp if its a super chips type one where tehy remap the ECU, can't tell unless they plug it in and compare it to a std one, which they aren't gonna do

I would always tell insurance when I crashed my car (completly standard) I'm sure they checked the ECU.
My car is a weedy 65hp diesel so it wasn't the Williams even.
