That's with my two daughters on it. 19 and 24. Also the mileage increases it - 20,000 pa as does limited business use and it lives on a road. Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

I feel robbed. Just paid for my motorbike insurance and my new motorbike insurance....a grand total of £526 for 1000miles per bike. That said the Honda was cheap but the Chinese Kove wasn't

Mine was £470 in September on my P400 which seems favourable looking at some others on here. Also with Admiral. First Edition 90 in Pangea Green. (Gone)
P400 110 in Tasman Blue.

No idea. Insurance premiums logic is like understanding Klingon! Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

There was a recent security update to prevent the code grabbing theft where someone in a vehicle nearby "grabs" the signal when you lock your vehicle. Then once you've left they just unlock it and drive off in it.
You had to take the vehicle in and it was done while you wait.

lf yours needed the update you'll have been contacted by Land Rover.

What does it change?

Rising insurance premiums?...Just to let you guys know, that the same situation exists in Aussie.
I was speaking to a long time friend of mine rcently, who I hadn't spoken to for a long time. He runs a very large wrecking yard & tow business, & I asked him where He sourced his wrecks from these days.
He said that these days many people simply cannot afford the ever increasing insurance premiums to insure their cars, so that when they're in an accident, & they're uninsured, they cannot afford to have the car repaired, & as a consequence have no option but to sell it.

It's a wired update, dealer or LR Assist do it in the UK. It stops relay theft and the cloning of a new smart key via the ODB port.

It should show up on TOPix if its available or necessary for your vehicle, probably varies by region and MY. In my case it was "N888". Current vehicle: 2020 Defender 110S
Gone: Defender 90 HT 200Tdi, Discovery Sport, Freelander 2
