I don’t have a choice since when trying to insure as a 5 seat car they say its a commercial and must have van insurance instead :(

Thanks i’ll perhaps give her a call once i have the V5 back and try again since i’m sure i’ve already had a quote from them....I agree perhaps more hassle than its worth...the storage bins are ideal for towing straps etc

Its definitely a postcode lottery :eek::eek:

Hiya @gstuart i’m actually hoping and waiting for a reduction on that 1300 quid after calling today to question the errors on the policy...Has me down as having 1 claim? i was told to by the original insurers to ensure i told the new ensurers that it was a ‘no fault notification only claim ‘...

Yes indeedy and it sure has been missed...eldest grandson (13) loved the RR we had on hire but when we went out in mine again he said he preferred ours... why i asked, i thought you wanted a RR...naah he said this is better cos its ours :D:D

To be honest the road tax was much cheaper because its a commercial £260 if i remember rightly but obviously i loose out on insurance as its commercial...i’m thinking once the seats are updated perhaps i’ll be allowed to insure as a car once again and have a much more affordable premium? Don’t...

Yep definitely has a lot to do with it although i still feel its a whacking great jump from £520 on the D2 last year!! 10 years protected no claims...4k milage...and age 51 for a few more days....birthday on Sat hehehe

You sure did and i took the advice and persevered :p:p thanks mate

I’ve put the lot on so no room for error...Fog lights, side steps, snorkel, wheels, bench...sigh!! Don’t want to rely on hearsay of factory fit etc so just have to ‘suck it up and play safe’ i guess.

:D:D:D

:D:D

Thanks @Stanleysteamer i’m posting it off tomorrow so we’ll see but its encouraging to see @dogsbody had no issues. As for the insurance i’ve cancelled Adrian Flux for an unbelievably acceptable cancellation price thanks to the lovely lady on the complaints team...although the additional premium...

I’m gonna try with Dan at Adrian Flux as previously suggested but failing that it’ll be back to the drawing board cancelling ( and getting screwed in the process for time on cover ) taking it through to the FCA and ringing round some others so i’ll try Liverpool Victoria too but i may just hang...

To be honest i only bought the car because my D2 had given up and it was a false economy keeping it...It was bought as it is with all the service history and docs...apparently the snorkel and wheels were optional upgrades at 1st purchase and 1st owner and the bench and fog lights were added...

Sorry @Stanleysteamer don’t know how i included your message here haha must have been ready to reply and got distracted :rolleyes::rolleyes:

:p:p:p Can’t fault you...would hate my ‘curse’ to rub off...honestly you couldn’t make this crap up...there was a topic on the radio the other day called ‘i never’ basically you had to state your age and whatever you had never done etc in a txt or tweet ...loads of i’m so old and i’ve never done...

To be honest i’ve had little opportunity to ‘enjoy‘ this club beyond problem solving since joining due to all the insurance issues and work related etc but will definitely be exploring more once leisure time is my own again :)

Bloody hell mine are novels then :p:p:p the link is good i’ve just read it...i can’t believe i didn’t come across it on Monday i searched for about seat modifications etc..tut.. Thanks again and goodnight, sweet dreams to you too :):)

Haha i can trust me i’m not wanting another day from hell...i’d sooner have a little knowledge to sleep on...thank you i missed the link..derrr :)

Thank you i’ll definitely give them a ring and see :)
