I don't recall seeing any more recent posts on this perennial topic, but it's annual insurance renewal time for me on the S8.
Renewal came through as LESS than last year.  But less than 2% lower.  So I did the usual and GoCompare actually came up with a roughly 10% reduction (admittedly with a higher excess) FROM THE SAME COMPANY. Time to phone, be polite, but point out the rules that now apply regarding renewals vs new customers. Without any quibbling they went even lower, maintaining my current (minimal) excess! The coming years premium is 20% less than the expiring one!  If you don't ask, you don't get!
