Well done, Google is there for people like you.

I have no idea whether I'm going to gain or not, and as others have said there's not always a charge for a remap. I'm not really bothered either way though.
That bit wasn't googled, but if you are not trying to gain, then why not tell them?
Because I can think for myself and I'm quite self-reliant. Eg I can wash. shave, wipe my own backside without consulting an outside agency.
It's down to an age thong though.
At some point someone else will be doing all that for you.. 🤣

Why? I understand perfectly what you are saying, I just can't fathom out why you are saying it. It is material information, whether you think it or not.

I could understand knowingly not declaring something if you are trying to save a few quid. Whilst not a good idea, that at least makes some sense, but just deciding that you think they don't need to know is odd. Can you just not be bothered to tell them? Or are you fighting the powers that be in your own little way? What else don't you declare?

Am I reading this right when you either get an insurance quote by phone and they ASK do you have any modifications beyond OEM you decide to say no knowing that you’ve a remapped car and you think it’s OEM or at least should have been.

Or if you get the quote online and you select no on the drop down box where it asks you is the car modified in anyway.



Taking this to a #me2 I wonder of when say someone fondles breasts without consent you’d think hey that’s not material so the answer from someone who did that is No I did not

I was always informed, rightly or wrongly, that insurance is never ‘voided’ for any misdemeanour per se but you could be pursued for any damages paid out by your insurer should they find you have been less than honest.
Is this about right or completely off the mark?

Can you not tell the insurance company hey I’ve a 60bhp E class but knowingly it’s a 620bhp E63 S.

A bit like whoops I bought the wrong car it is a 1.0ltr N/A not a bi turbo 6 Ltr beast honest. It’s not a material in my books so ins comp can suck t up.

Off the mark. It's true that it isn't easy for an insurer to void a policy, and it's done far less often that people on PH say it is. But, in certain circumstances, policies can be, and are, voided.

Mods are a difficult area, because there are many insurers out there who just don't cover mods at all. Therefore, they would be far more likely to void a policy is a mod came to light post accident.

Perhaps you, like the chap above, are spending too much time thinking about this.

Doing this the worst case is you get points a fine or possibly a ban and jail term (think 160mph on the public road territory).

Insurance fraud result your not insured and will be pursued for damages which could result in you being bankrupt.
Also driving without insurance points fine jail

According to Patterson law (The driver defence service)

Driving with no insurance and the law
No insurance fixed offence penalties
1. Fixed penalty £300
2. Fixed penalty 6 penalty points
Or
Points for no insurance 6-8
Maximum fine for no insurance - up to £5k
Disqualification - possible discretionary ban



Re driving a modified car without informing the insurance company. It would appear that they would pay out 3rd party but not fully comp.
