What ever land rover you buy just make sure you service it regularly... My insurance is with NFU as well they are pretty good as far as I’m aware
 
In all seriousness though when you go to buy one, take someone who knows what there looking for, take some goggles and have a good look underneath and in the foot wells etc, if it’s a td5 check it starts nice from cold

I would start looking now, get one in Summer, you do not want to be paying a winter premium. But if you want a good one, then do expect to see a lot of rubbish and travel a lot before you find the good one you want.

Be prepared to travel anyway to get a decent one.... I travelled over 700 miles for my 2a, in a defender towing a trailer :oops:

Passed. Ill be learning in my grandads ford fiesta as he will be away for 4 months right around the time ill be learning. Ive been driving most of my life, tractors, land rovers and anything else really on private land so i dont think it should be much problem.
