No discouragement intended! A little guidance never hurt anyone especially if threads are being repeated on a regular basis. I personally can relate to the excitement he feels as I still experience it each and every time I drive my Defender! As stated in a previous thread his purchase is intended at end of the year! How much of the "up to date' information Zagato seeks will be classed as dated by then as many of the threads including the insurance ones have recent posts anyway! It makes perfect sense to tag on to these, the same people will read them!

Good point there

For any hardcore land rover owner not to know about Adrian Flux is appauling

Ive been with them for at least 7 years it seems maybe 10!

I've used them in the past but found them pricey when renewal comes. They also won't haggle when you threaten to leave unlike F&J, I do it each year I will certainly give them a call though if they are good on Landies :thumbs,up:

Clearly you havent used them as they advertise (every year) their promise to price match...either that or they dont treat you as a loyal customer.

They have always pricematched - always therefor been the cheapest with Business Use, Off Road Cover, Driving any car, towing etc etc

I wouldn't be so bold with such statements and wouldn't put too much stock in what companies advertise, or maybe how effective the staff are as they "clearly" didn't price match the Footaman & James price

I do remember setting one off against the other and F & J came out tops.

but then you say either that or they don't treat you as a loyal customer - what are you on about, dear oh dear

I'm glad my sailing and series forums are not such hard work as this one, this one could certainly do with more people to lighten the mix a bit

Not sure if it will happen though, there seems to be quite a few members but few people post especially new ones once they have joined - shame!!

Next question without a search

Anyone know of a Defender/Land Rover forum with less aggro

EDIT

I'm not the only one then, thanks for the suggestion folks see you on the other side

Ive probably got their "advert" stating they will do that for me as a "loyal customer" - i insure a few cars with them.

Every year (as i keep my insurance records for the past few...i may even have those!)

By far either before or after price matching Flux have come out cheaper - and offer a comprehensive cover (that most of the others dont...despite some actually advertising they do). This year they were cheaper off their initial quote.

Still one car to renew, so ill see what that renewal brings. I would be surprise at Footman James, who in experience has been in the "expensive" grouping.

I would say, when you get over the banter (removing some sensitivities) this is one of the best forums around.

Being a member of many over the year, most are full of politics, rules and up themselves *cough*

Stick around and join in the light hearted banter...one things for sure - this is the definitive forum for the PUMA, the others just dont come close. Mike

Cheers Mike, not going anywhere

There are some very helpful members on here, especially re-Pumas as you say.

It's going to be a looong wait until I get mine

All the pictures are keeping me going though

And without the God-awful text speak and ridiculous machismo of many of the other so called "landrover" forums. Have you seen some of the "signatures" on some of the other forums? Incredible.

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Stornoway Grey

Out of interest - I just called "Land Rover Insurance" who have covered my 90XS for last 2 yrs. Always been happy with them, and it allows off-roading - so good cover. Just spoke with them to get a price for changing to the 110 XS Utility SW. They don't cover them

The girl I spoke with didn't really know what the car was - sounded confused and asked lots of questions about how many seats etc. I explained it's a normal 110XS Station Wagon but with no windows in the very back section - "we don't insure them sir". Ok says I, but you are Land Rover Insurance, so that means Land Rover don't offer cover to all their own vehicles?!?

"That's right sir".

Very odd. So now off to call NFU and Adrian Flux base on what I've read on here...

I had the same reply from LR Insurance - they don't cover Double Cabs either.

When I asked why, 18 months ago mind, the answer I got was 'we don't cover commercial vehicles sir '

Yep - that's what the girl told me. Really odd! I worked in car insurance for 8 yrs, so totally understand that not all insurers will cover all vehicles etc - I just don't 'get' the fact that official Land Rover Insurance (their own bleeding service!!) does not cover their own vehicles! I realise they outsource the service, but you would think that part of the requirement would be that the insurer can cover the Land Rover product range

Makes them look a bit silly in my humble opinion.... Simon

That Landrover will not cover commercials (which I presume now means *any* Defender) is absolutely shocking and they should be ashamed.

Q on this point - does this mean they do NOT offer free 7 day insurance then on a USW after collection??? 2011 110 USW

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 HCPU Keswick Green

Just insured the DCPU with NFU Light goods £525,protected NC's, £250 excess, no problem with winch etc, really helpful local branch, my other 90 is with them and because they charge pro rata any days left on the policy I will get back when I cancel it. Plus they agreed to put the new vehicle on full no claims whilst I wait to sell the other/ cancel the policy.

I could get cheaper but not necessarily better. Original Member Pie n Pea Club.
