Not exactly do it yourself but I just wondered if anyone else has had this
experience or if its just me.

I bought a new car yesterday ( that is I ordered it two weeks ago and
yesterday I collected it). Its a Mazda 2 ( 1.5 engine). I got lots of
extras as part of the deal ( for free as they say) from Mazda, including
insurance for a week to enable me to bring the car home without them
having to mess with my insurance sending out cover notes for them to tax it.

Anyway, I sold my old car part exchange . I got the new one home and rang up
yesterday afternoon to change the insurance and the bloke at the call
centre ( direct line by the way) told me off for daring to buy a new car
without getting their permission first.
I was just shocked and quite upset at being told I wasn't allowed to buy a
new car without getting their approval first.

Has anyone else had this or did I just get a weird call centre guy? My OH
thinks its funny but its upset me and spoilt having a new car for me.
Thanks.

Never heard anything like it. You will get an invitation from the 6
day insurers to continue the cover. Take them up on it unless they are
daft money. Tell DL to go stuff themselves and make sure they know why
and the time of your conversation. They might as well make use of the
recordings they make for real training purposes. Or sackings.
