You’ll probably be aware that the former Chancellor (in November 2015's budget) levied a second increase in Insurance Premium Tax on unsuspecting motorists, bringing the duty up a further half a percent to a ‘nice’ round 10%. This following another recent increase from 6% to 9.5%. The new 10% rate comes into effect on 1 October this year.
You'll be pleased to know that while we can't control the effect on car insurance premiums, Chris Knott Insurance is still going to be helping you where we can. We'll continue trying to beat your alternative quotes (which will also have been affected by the tax rise) to find you the best deal. And where we know what we're up against we can respond favourably under our special scheme that rewards car club/forum members.
There's good news on a couple of our other products where we do control the prices. It's only right that we're NOT increasing the cost of either our GAP Insurance (starts currently at £85) or Multi-car Breakdown Cover (currently starts at £63) despite the tax rise - we'll absorb the cost of the extra tax ourselves.
Your unique web links for these two products can be found elsewhere in this section of the forum. Alternatively, you can call us on 0800 917 2274 for quotes on any of our products and we'll be pleased to talk to you.
best,
Nick

You must understand that the way this works means that if you turn on your rear demist the LED will turn on also and that you would have to turn it off to see if a DPF regen is taking place.
Ok the first thing you need to do is get a 12v LED like below.
Stanley knife,
7mm Socket,
Drill,
8mm drill (if using the above the LED).
There are a few ways you can wire this up and all depends on where you wanted it fitted, I decided the best fitting place would be between the Fuel and Temp gauges.
So the first thing you need to do is remove the cubby hole below the headlight switch.
So open the cubby hole and then push the sides in towards the driver door and pull down, then it just pulls off at the bottom.
Next step is to disconnect the door to body plug, jut push down on the top of the rubber cover and pull backwards, then to release the plug pull the pink lever out and down.
Move this out of the way
Next step is to unclip the body side so you can get it from inside the car, there are 2 tabs (highlighted by the red rings) just push them in and push it backwards
The next bit is to get the plug from inside this is tricky and I couldn't get any pics but put your hand up from under the dash and head towards the area you will soon feel a bunch of wires (these will run through a foam insert) gentle pull the wires and it come out along with the foam.
Then drop it down to to below the cubby
The wire you need for power is the Brown/Yellow from pin 3 (right below the Red wire), you can take the ground from the Black wire next to the Red wire.
Next you need to remove the top of the IPC.
Simply push this upwards from the front (It will be hard if not removed before).
Then undo the retaining bolt 7mm.
Drill your 8mm hole (if that's the size required) and fit the LED and place to one side, **Note I added extra wire as there wasn't enough wire on the LED**
Next feed the wire down the hole where the IPC clips in.
Then stick you hand in the cubby hole and find your wire and pull it down
Make you splices and connect to the wires then heat shrink or tape up
Then put some tape around all the wires to hold them together and then start refitting. The body plug is a pain a pain to fit back in, if you have small child get them upside down in the footwell then they can see what they are doing (if you shine a light).
To put the IPC cover back on it's a simple case of sitting back on holding down the top and whacking the front back towards the windscreen.
Once done start the car up and turn on the rear demist the LED should light up and go off.
