NFU - on my document
2008. landrover defender 110 XS TDI, 2402cc, diesel, manual. i then spoke to then and confirmed by asking them to read back what notes they had on it and they specified Utility Station Wagon. my 2.8TGV auto is described as a 2.5Tdi manual as they dont have the 2.8tgv as a drop down option they just added notes to the file to specify what it is and i requested an email copy of these for my peace of mind. �456 for this years premium.

I'm looking at my new NFU policy right now. The letter is reference 'Light Goods Vehicle Insurance' and the statement details 'Land Rover Defender 110 Utility Wagon'. When I initially called them they couldn't find it on their system, then I suggested they look on their light goods listings and hey presto. D300 HSE 110

Thanks for info- I'll wait and see what happens when it goes to NFU's underwriters, but will point this information out to them as well

Mine is actually installed as a car and not a commercial vehicle through NFU. Russell

I had exactly the same experience with my Double Cab - the 110USW is bound to be in the LGV category |

Just had a call back from NFU - they won't insure it at all as our post-code is not an area they cover?!? I'm even more confused than ever!!!
![]() Over the years I've had Porsches, TVRs, Maseratis and Range Rovers - I only mention this to show that I've had no problem insuring higher value/ higher performance cars. It also shows what having 3 kids does for your ability to spend money on fast cars too ![]() I am just totally baffled on this one and it's all rapidly taking the shine and fun out of getting this new Defender ![]() '11 Defender 110XS Utility SW '07 Discovery 3 HSE '58 Porsche 356A (not good off road) '59 Lambretta (not good on or off road!) |

Good point TC - I've just called them. The lady explained that NFU don't offer cover within M25 unless it is garaged, but she reckoned she could get it agreed (we are about 4 miles within). She continued the quote and it came up at �805!!!
![]() I've called Land Rover Insurance back and got a quote for a standard 110XS SW, and it was �26 MORE than the quote they gave me yesterday based on a 110 Pick-up... So I'm going to stick with LR Insurance. The cover is very good, it's all LR-only for any repairs etc and covers all off-roading, so fine for me. I know any thread about "insurance" is a bit boring, so thanks all for your patience and input ![]() ![]() ![]() (Oh, and whether I fit the A-bar as well... ![]() '11 Defender 110XS Utility SW '07 Discovery 3 HSE '58 Porsche 356A (not good off road) '59 Lambretta (not good on or off road!) |

Went throught the same motions as you, you could not dream it up. All those adverts in the LR Mags and only 1 insurer was prepared to insure me, i questioned why they were advertising in a specific 4x4 off road magazines, saying they cover specialist 4x4, off roading, modifications etc etc, and when it came down to it they were only interested in no modified D3's and the like
![]() I am sure you read my posts from last year, I ended up with Adrian Flux. I am surprise after a year the Utility is still not coming up with insurers, then nearly convinced me a Utility did not even exist and LR had run away with my money ![]() Good luck it will be worth the pain in the end ![]() |

NFU had no isses with me for a quote on a USW, but they can't offer me business cover so not much use really. Anyone know any decent firms for business cover??? 2011 110 USW
