Hi everyone. And in particular anyone who's an insurance expert.....
I have bought a 2002 Discovery, which will be partly used to access hills and mountains around Scotland where I do environmental survey work. It is standard today, but I plan to make some changes for better driveability and off road use; many of the tracks I use are in very poor condition. Changes will be to remap the ECU - phase 1 I imagine, de-EGR, de-cat downpipe, perhaps some other small changes, some underbody protection.
After checking on many forums, I came up with a list of 4 insurance companies that LR owners recommended. Called all of them yesterday and only got one to provide a quote - £780 fully comp. Problem seems to be the work. They all say that without that I would have no problem.
But I am 48, this is a second vehicle, I am sole driver, it will be kept off road in the rural Highlands, 3 years NCB, 5000 miles/annum. Yes, got 2 SP30s from 2008 and 2009.
Can anyone give me any tips as to who I might speak to? The 4 I tried are NFU, Frank Pickles, Snowball (closed down?) and Adrian Flux. AF gave me the £780 quote.
Really hoping I don't have to go with that price.
Cheers,
joecrow.
