    Bye Bye A/F - Hello cheaper, better insurane :D

    So, time has come to renew the insurance on 3 of my vehicles, all currently with A/F. Given some forum members experience i had no desire to be with A/F, no matter of the cost. So... My 2014 110 Utility XS - ideally i wanted to be with the NFU for this, i've never heard a bad word said...

    Not happy with Adrian Flux

    So, Flux will sort things for forum members who kick up a stink on here... but still f**k over every other customer. Sorry, that doesn't wash for me, they are still loosing business for my 3 cars at the end of December when i renew them all. Will quite happily pay £500 more to NOT be with flux.

    What tow car poor review!!!

    I think it is a calculated review based on mis-information - it says the tow bar limit is 100kg... really... so it couldn't even pull a fat man?

    Crime and old land rovers

    BMG757A was the earlier of the two used - it was still active and in use in September 2012 by the owner, though, he rarely takes it to shows.

    Am i being unreasonable? (Exmoor Trim moan)

    Good, glad it's not just me, bought stuff from them before and spent good money with them, so, thought they owed me a bit of customer service

    Am i being unreasonable? (Exmoor Trim moan)

    Wanted a full carpet set for the 110, rung Exmoor trim 2 weeks ago, but, being a Friday afternoon they were closed - left a voice mail asking a question. 2 weeks later hadn't heard back from them so went to buy them anyway and price had gone up £25. So, rung them up, asked if they'd knock the...

    Safe to lift engine / gearbox using rear bracket only?

    It's called a balance beam - a friend made us one when he borrowed our hoist - it is a very simple item (long length of threaded bar, etc. ) but very effective and you can very easily balace an engine perfectly for installation :)

    Starter motor still not working...

    Connecting directly to it (all be it via jump leads) when on so by passing all vehicle electrics and still the same (actually it causes the heavy duty jump leads to smoke :/ ) Ah bugger, i didn't want to hear that - i've just paid to have a new solenoid put on it :(

    Starter motor still not working...

    If i take my starter motor off, connect to battery it works perfectly. If i put starter motor on, connect to battery it won't start. starter motor solenoid clicks in, not a lot else, occasional sluggish sound of it trying to turn, but, not a lot. Engine cranks over using socket on front...

    Neighbours not at war

    Must be a pig to park the 110 there - with the turning circle of a 110 and the proximetry to the gate there's got to be a lot of shunting involved?!

    Expedition friendly insurance

    I had this problem - i spent literally days ringing everyone in existance. Saga will in some cases - if an existing customer. NFU will in some cases, if an existing customer. Didn't find anyone else who would even entertain insurance for Morocoo. I ended up just buying the worthless 3rd...
