Tried Pickles got email back saying I did too many miles, for them to even quote me,
replyed why does the web site allow you to put more miles. I click the 10,000 probley wont do that but I hate being limited milage. I brought the car to drive not sit on the drive

I don't think there's any one company that's good for everyone. It all depends on personal circumstances (mods/post code etc). I tried the specialist companies but they all wanted silly money.

true enough it all depends on where u live if i wanted to do the same in a city it would probably be more

tried the following all on s,d&p basis fully comp

 nfu as i said came in at £350
 
,kwik fit came in at £360( listed mod on internet but not verbally)

footman james WELL !!!! after being held on the phone for 15 mins whilst the girl kept putting me on hold whilst she went to ask confirmation on literally every question i asked came back to me and said that because i was off work ( self employed and awaiting surgery nothing to affect driving) and had sold my van they would not insure me as i didn't have a van for work ( still got the car though)!! !!!!!

then i tried glynswood phoned back after a few mins with £257 all including mods,towing a trailer green lanning and any off road use ,though they did say that the vehicle was still a bit too new for a cheaper quote !

Hi,welcome.I have been with the NFU,untill they pushed my premium up from £317 to £574 per year with no excuses other than it was what the underwritters demanded.The l.r is a 110 td5 crew cab with no mods at all. Now with Aviva at £378,per year.Every pound helps.

From experience the NFU are very efficient. Have had problems myslef with one of the LRO mag advertised insurers after making a claim. It would be interesting to maybe here from others who have had to make a claim their experiences as this would make an interesting forum Topic, as it might show that some insurers are better than others -over to you admin.

Funnily enough, I binned my local NFU branch this year, switching back to Flux for the Defender, who had insured my old Disco a few years back.

If there had only been up to £50 difference in the renewal premiums then I'd have stuck with NFU as I think their policy is pretty darn good (Defacto 5* rated I think), but the lure of over £150 was too great....  A risk perhaps but NFU will get a crack again next year, as Flux from memory tend to be cheap year 1 and then try to have your eyes out in year 2.

Will start a separate thread on claim experiences.... thanks for the nod Peter
