2006 Defender 110 Td5 XS CSW Zambezi Silver

Sadly NFU priced both me and my borther out of our renawals last year.

Extortionatly in the case of my brother who had 300tdi Disco and a SII his policy went from £600 to £1600 and he had not made any claims.

In my case I had to leave after 9 loyal years as they wanted £800 for a 5 year old 110

I am with Admiral at the moment for £480 fully comp with business and the wife. (Direct Line were muppets, when I told the girl it had a snorkel she had to ask a manager who then claimed they didn't cover vehicles with snorkels!!)

As for the 80" it costs me £105 a year with Frank Pickles on a 4x4 insurance policy, but they don't encourage shiny new motors.

JSG. MartinK your quotes were good, what mods have you got?

After a chat with John [JSG] I switched to LV last year and saved quite a bit on my renewal quote from NFU - who I had been with for many years.

As regards your other observation, it's amazing the difference a few months have made

Same issue I had with NFU, now with LV.
NFU advised that the Defender had been reclassified as a car

and that is why premiums had rocketed. Paul

Mine is standard with dealer options - tow bar, A bar etc but the TR 90 I had before had mods inc, engine chip, bigger intercooler, sports exhaust, winch etc and they didn't charge me any extra.

They listed it as winch and engine modifications and seemed quite happy as long as I told them what it had done. John

i to used the nfu for my landrover insurance for a lot of years they covered my 200tdi then my td5 for business use as a farmer untill two years ago my insurance increased by 80 % for no reason,complained no result so i insured through fj my premium was back to where i was with the nfu great,next thing aug last year said td5 nicked,took 8 weeks to get payed out but i was happy withe the settlement. So went and bought myself a 90 puma rung fj to insure it and they refused so went back to nfu explained the situation loss of truck and loss of two years no claims they then came up with a quote of over a thousand pounds,so now insured with n and p for 600 pounds,sorry for the long post,i am now reviewing all our policies with the nfu.

Phone several different local NFU offices.
I guarantee you'll get a different price from each of them.
Chose the cheapest one.
They are excellent if you ever need to make a claim or have one made against you.
