Hi, can anyone recommend an insurer that isn't bothered by a 2wd Freelander mod i.e the propshaft has been removed? On the comparison sites I've tried it makes quite a difference, any help would be appreciated
 
Adrian Flux are good ones. You will need to take a few photos of the conversion. Mine has all three parts removed Props and VCU before I bought it. But worth talking to Adrian Flux. Do yo have any documents on the reason why removal as mine would be an expensive to reinstall due to funds.
 
When I got a quote for a 2WD freelander, I was quoted an extra £250 for the privilege of not having 4WD. It's generally cheaper to replace the VCU and keep 4WD rather than pay the extra premium for a less capable vehicle.

Nodge it all depends where you live also. I live in Manchester surrounding postcode that kick you in the nuts. When I was with Swinton Ins I got hammered with Mods on a Landrover 110 v8 3.5 1988. Even with a mod or not Postal codes count. I search around and Adrian Flux gave a much better offer. Now I accept my fault and stupidity when I bought my Freelander being 2wd but still postal code can still harm regardless in major cities.

Have you tried us for insurance yet? We have schemes that cover a wide range of modifications. If you wanted to drop me a line I'd be happy to arrange a quotation for you.

Hi, thanks for all the replies, Adrian Flux were decent but in the end Lancaster were a bit cheaper, neither quote added that much for the 2wd mod. I do have every intention to go 4wd but I need to get the rear chassis welded ( there's a clunk when reversing) probably a refurb VCU and defo VCU support bearings .. and an MOT. So 2wd until I've got more cash before winter.
 
if you are getting a clunk when reversing have you check the centre diff support or even the bolt that goes into the chassis on the front drivers side rear sub frame
 
Hi, a local garage reckoned it was the rear subframe causing the clunk. I've found another 4 wheel drive specialist garage who'll sort it by going thru a whole in the boot floor, this seems to be the way to sort it.
