Thanks for all the advise. Ended up going with NRMA for $430 fully comp as Shannons wouldn't insure me as I had a UK license 🙁 Had to take a bit of a hit on the agreed value aswell as NRMA would only go up to $5900 on a '72 Kombi (I payed $7500 for it).

Still a lot cheaper than I payed in the UK anyway so Im happy 🙂 just better make sure I don't write it off 😉

If You live in Australia don't You have to change Your drivers licence????
You only have 7 days from one state to another...
what about from one country to another...

Shannons may have been a better deal plus they give You the car if its written off.... so why didn't You change Your licence???

I'm only here on a 4 year working visa at the moment so I'm not sure if I can get an Australian license until I have residency. It was all a bit of a rush thing buying the van but I'll have a look into it for when the insurance comes up for renewal.

I think you can keep driving on a UK license up until you have residency which also means you cant get any demerits only a fine (as a friend found out the other day)

don't go with Shannons. They wouldn't give me a covernote. No insurance unless I had an immobiliser fitted, but I hadn't even picked up the car yet. catch 22. can't insure without the immobiliser. can't get the immobiliser without getting the car!! they were useless.

killakornkobb where's that clutch?
