This may seem petty but it's not.In the event of an accident and an Insurance assessor can find anything to save the Company money,they will.It's part of their job.

Worse case scenario a 3rd part is injured.All hospital bills that may have been covered under a valid insurance are not paid and could lead to financial ruin for the holder of the policy.

I'm not,"Scaremongering" just laying out what has happened to some.

If in doubt,check with the insurance company.A few extra quid now can save a lot of grief later
It's declarable, but it's classed as a non performance item/ replacement part. It shouldn't actually affect the premium
