The policy documents just say "Market Value" and I'm pretty sure they won't change that wording, so it's a debate to have if (hopefully never) the question arises!

The other odd thing is that it has the winter tyres down as a modification.
My current insurer has a clause saying "Wheels - Winter set to replace standard for season" and I don't need to tell them when I swap.
This lot, and I phoned them, insist that they are told every time I swap the wheels over, sounds crazy.
They did say they do not charge for such changes.
