It is heated yes but so was the td4 but my question is is it a different screen.If not why the new tarrif if its like for like.A new windscreen is a new windscreen surely.Now if its a different screen i can understand it changing.

I expect the screen is much the same. It's the increased insurance cists that has been applied. Screen cover excesses seem to go from £50 too £100 depending on the insurer. Mine is £75 on my current policy.

Insurance has shot up this year. Apparently there's lots more vehicle thefts now, especially expensive cars and SUVs. So I expect your new FL2 is considered a higher risk than the older one it replaced.
Very few policies have voluntarily excesses now. If they do, the policy is normal very expensive.

I have just had my insurance quote in and as usual I will be ringing them as I always do and get about £50 knocked of .

Haven't seen that myself, though I tend to add a voluntary up to a what I think is a reasonable amount, basically so the excess covers the amount I wouldn't bother claiming for under anyway. Helps bring my premium down a fair bit and doesn't affect things like windscreens etc either.
The tax on insurance went up by 11% this year apparently.
