Hi everyone
My Amby Camper auto gearbox gave up on us years back and it's now manual
Does anyone know any good insurance companies that will insure again or will I need an engineers report etc
There has been a carb change too as the auto choke carb also gave up on us

Anyonedine the auto to manual conversion and got correct insurance ?
Did you have to get an engineers report ?
Was it costly or difficult

Thanks in advance

Personally, I wouldn't bloody say anything.

But, you should tell them all of the details, it's highly unlikely they will be familiar with the engine components like, but an auto box swap to manual is a little tricky to get away with. If checked.
99% of the time it won't be checked or even noticed.

But if you tell them everything then there's no cone back.

If you tell them the carbs are different then they'll assume that you've done it for performance purposes and that will be a reason to bump up the premiums.

But I expect that the engine it's 73ps or whatever it was back in the day??

All you can do it get a quote including modifications.

Engineers reports seem to be getting popular but I think mainly for structural reasons mostly, maybe country specific?

Just my thoughts, I'm not an expert on campers though.
