Sorry if this may be a repeat, but i did a search.

Insurance on me ole Rangie ?

Wheres the cheapest ?

As soon as i put in Suspension Mods, they go sky high :( Â£ 400 )

I only do about 2K miles a year!

Any advice please guys.

It's always a problem when you mention Mods ! but my advice is to use a few comparison sites like moneysupermarket.com and tescocompare.com and don't rely on just one. You then have to go to the site and add details like the mods but it might find you a better deal.

Other thing to try is see if you can get a classic car policy instead.

Â£276 for me, 5000 mileage for `94 Disco V8, 3rd pft

Kwik-fit and I got a free MOT voucher from them and you then get a 10% discount on all work they do on your motor.

Great thread :)

I tried a well known 4x4 broker but they didnt answer :(

So i sinned and used go compare.com

Didnt get very far with them as i added the Lift Kit and Army camo colours to the list of mods.

Then 5 mins ago i get a phone call from them, I just hate that but................

They double checked my details again, and put me on hold for about 4 mins, so i hung up as i have loads of Invoicing to do in the office.
They phone back, and say they have got the price Down to Â£ 201.00 Fully Comp !!

Another person is going to pnone back with details and get it set up.

Im pretty pleased with that price though, ill let you know who the Main Insurance peeps are as soon as i know.

Blue, with the mods and 7,500 is about Â£350 IIRC, the LSE with 10,000 (unlimited) Â£380 and Julie's TDi with 10.000 and a big intercooler about Â£330.

That said, the Micra is about Â£320 this year, it's now worth LESS than the LSE.

Brian the Sn@il · « **Reply #9 on:** October 22, 2008, 12:08:38 »

They phoned back and im waiting for the Cover, THey said its through a Classic Car Specialist, As i only use it for the odd trip, its restricted to 3000, beraing in mind ive only done 2500 miles in the last year is about right :)

mike142sl · « **Reply #10 on:** October 22, 2008, 15:41:30 »

The only thing you need to be aware of with classic policies is that they don't acrue no claims discounts.

carracarra13 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 22, 2008, 16:46:55 »

I ment to add Ive no proven claims

squaddie_fox · « **Reply #12 on:** October 27, 2008, 01:53:58 »

too much

Range Rover Ron · « **Reply #13 on:** November 01, 2008, 08:47:28 »

Adrian Flux or Pete Best are pretty good, they also know about mods,
so when you say you've got a lift or a winch,
they actually know what you are talking about!
Cheers..........

landrover 200tdi with mods, Â£2100! 3rd party, thats what comes from being 18 and thats with MFU mutual but they dont care about mods, so long as it isnt a mod to the power the car gives out or to the running gear

Jonny Boaterboy · « **Reply #17 on:** November 09, 2008, 13:49:53 »

I have paid Â£210 Fully comp with no claims protection I'm 34 and got a 3.9 v8 Range Rover no points on licence in the past 5 years. They also did break down for Â£33. Covered to green lane and no problems with mods, not that i have many. This was through Sureterm direct, let me know if you need a no.

Mat I feel sorry for you paying Â£2100! I think you may be paying for my generation when we were 18 :twisted: I don't know how you young boys can afford to drive?

PITBULL · « **Reply #19 on:** December 18, 2008, 16:48:03 »

mines 1000 a year though sure term direct all mods listed im 23 (list of mod in my sig VVVVVV)

jjsaul · « **Reply #20 on:** December 19, 2008, 10:24:53 »

Matt i know how you feel.

I'm paying around Â£2k a year to insure my classic with a 4.6 in it. They decided its technically a group 18 car.
That's fully comp in my own name and when i took it out i didnt actually have any NCB.
It's also got a sequential lpg kit on it.

It sounds a lot but given that i'm 20 i guess its a lot cheaper than comparable non-LR vehicles.

*EDIT - meant to add thats with NFU, as are the rest of our cars (except my carmichael).
They were more than happy to insure my offroader with cage, winch etc etc

Jonny Boaterboy · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2009, 16:25:48 »

I have just renewed my insurance with Adrian Flux (08000 83 88 33) Here's some of the main pointers:

Â£200 excess
Â£70 Windscreen excess
Protected no claims
UNLIMITED MILEAGE
and full breakdown including crash recovery, home start, trailer and caravan recovery to the destination of your choice

This cost me Â£245 I have 9 years no claims, and no points or claims in the last 5 years. My wife is also a named driver and covers me 3rd party on all other cars.

This was the best I could find as of the 5/1/09

Jonny Boaterboy · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2009, 21:25:57 »

Tried footman and they came back with Â£500+ not sure the girl I spoke to knew what she was doing as she was surprised that I could get insurance that cheap for a Range Rover!

i have the pretty much the same policy with adrian flux but with no trailer recovery on the extras and paid £204 this year fully comp. ncb protected. same excess. if you can find cheaper than flux give them the quote and they'll try to beat it

william127 · « **Reply #26 on:** March 03, 2009, 17:54:46 »

im paying £136 a month, 3rd party, with the nfu. fluxs quote was 2500 a year because its changed from 3.9 v8 to a 2.8td, had it still been a v8 id have saved £££ :doh:

Glynparry25 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 03, 2009, 18:31:12 »

91 Discovey V8 with lift and a few other mods, 26 YO cost me £200 fully comp in the UK (Tesco) but am currently paying 90 Euro a month to have it in Germany.

Crazy thing ere is that it will cost me the same to insure a brand new (£30K) Defender 110 as it does formy 18YO Discovery!!! Germany- I still don't understand the laws!!!
