2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Manual Stornoway Grey
Useless Insurance Company

Just tried to insure my new 110 with eSure, what a carry on! They don't list a 110 CSW on their system so she asked if it is OK to put it down as a 110 TDi SE Rolling Eyes

Then I advised that it will have a winch and bumper fitted, surprise surpsise that isn't listed either. "Is it a front spoiler" the girl asks? "No it isn't it's a winch for recovering a stuck caravan from a filed" I say Whistle

End of story is they won't insure me Big Cry

Will go back to NFU, should have suck with them.

Just signed up with NFU - less expensive than LR insurance.

Tried many places like Sainsburys etc... as soon as you mention winch - you might as well give up. Either they don;t know what a winch is or they just stop becuase they don;t cover it.

I'm insured with NFU , which I took out 10 days ago, but my fisrt enqiury with them they said the the newest defender on there system was the TD5, which they quoted, when I told them it was a 2.4 lit, they had to go there underwriters to find out if there is such an engine, 3 Days later, they wanted another £74.00 to cover me for the 2.4 Confused which we paid anyway as there were the cheapest, you would have thought the NFU would be up to speed with current defender models, dealing mainly with farmers and country folk.

almost same premium as mine - £480 fully comp including all the extras winches, bash plates, tyres, suspension, etc anyone over 25 for both 90 TDI and 90 TD5 (both quite old though)

NFU - the way fwd in my opinion

Norwich Union all the extras and 4x4 no problem Thumbs Up On a mini fleet ins. So I presume that Norwich Union will be OK for extras and 4x4 ing on a standard single vehicle ins.

United Kingdom 

I found this very old thread and decided to post in it for a laugh Razz

My insurance is £249.75Pm and it covers me to drive, park & store,race, crash or what ever i do in any car weather it be mine or yours.

It also covers me and any public person in my garage or on my premises or any work i have done on your car.


SO


You can bring your car for tuning or a service and rest assured that im coverd for all the unexpected because AXA pull my arms and legs of every month Sad


Regards Pete loooool
