Thanks to all who replied.

Will check out Chris Knott and AROC membership... looks like I may have
averted having to trade down to something lesser than an Alfa! ;-)

I changed my insurance from tesco which was £1250 to AXA which brought
it right down to £620 it was high as i was only 24 at the time but
still quite a saving. Give them a try.

Always read the policy to see what you're getting for best quote. Most
online sites have a link to it buried somewhere. Last time I renewed
Esure was quoting cheapest but their policy was shy of stuff like
windscreen cover, foreign travel, 3rd party in other cars. 50 quid
more for Elephant got all of those.

Try www.confused.com for a search across several insurers. Gave quite
a bit of repetition for me but it's a quick way to see a range.

Just switch from Norwich Union to esure. Nearly half price of other quotes

Agree with esure if you're clear of previous.

Admiral were £150 cheaper than anyone else for me. You can also use
www.moneysupermarket.com to get an idea of who would be cheapest. Try
again 1st July as occasionally the underwriters make a boob and
haven't tested the product properly with new rates.
