Another vote for Admiral. £316 fully comp, protected etc for a 2016 110 XS SW. Even the dealer recommended them when we bought the Disco Sport earlier this year.
That price does include the multi-ca ... |

Definitely. Plus, most of the drawbacks can be overcome - new seats, seat extenders, improved wash/wipe etc.
I was surprised while buying a new Disco Sport just how similar all the LR vehicles were f ... |

Admiral appear to like Land Rovers. Much cheaper for my wife Disco Sport than anywhere else. Currently have that and my Defender with the multi-car discount. Not sure about mods and agreed value.

2015 110 SW
The top hinge on my rear door has seized up. It's only 2 years old, genuine LR, so not impressed right now.
I've added loads of penetrating oil but it's still very stiff. Looks like the ... |

Is your Puma a 110 rather than a 90? Big difference in fuel tank size.
On my Td5 90, I would get 325 miles to a tank with a light right foot.
On my 110 2.2, I easily get 440 driving in a similar sty ... |

As you're working as a limited company, you almost certainly have an accountant. Ask them, it's what you pay them for.
If you don't have an accountant, get one. Unless you're a qualified accountant ( ... |
