insurance just jumped up £500 for declaring side window mods!!!!

Hi, Guys.
Don't know if anyone has any advice here - just insured a 1999 90 td5 for £370 - it's been modified from a van by putting side windows and seat bases in. This wasn't available on the mods drop down, so I just rang them - an extra £500 - what!!! So now I've no insurance and have to start all over again :-(
My old 84 land that was robbed a few weeks ago, only cost £118 p/a.
Don't know what you guys pay?
Cheers
Andy

ps and another £300 for declaring 30% tinted windows!

Ouch!!!

I know Adrian Flux are pretty good insurance company for modded 4x4s.

try NFU, Insurance, pensions and investments - NFU Mutual & cost me no more on insurance to add windows and seats and they said any mods that are NOT performance related, to document with receipts and photos, but they wont affect the premium

Thanks Guys - I'll try nfu. Sureterm did a really good one of £218, but it jumps up to over £700 for the claim 3 weeks ago when someone stole and burnt my old 90. Talk about being penalised!

google Glynwood insurance (I don't have their contact details ) they were the cheapest for my mate with big wheels lifted suspention and a winch.
let us know if they give you a good quote.

I'll second that comment.
I have Been with adrian flux for nearly five years now.
Only been driving for 5 years and I have a 300tdi disco with 2inch lift kit and bigger tyres declared and it's only 350 a year which for me is good I think.

Well, Adrian Flux came back with £473, which is a big step i the right direction - still awaiting nfu to get back to me.
cheers

nfu have also come in with a good price, but stipulate proffesional fitting of the rear seats plus seatbelst.

139 fully comp inc mods and unlimited milage from footman james.

Do you need to change the vehicle's class with the DVLA too?

HI,
I have just joined the Landy world and am am 38 with NO no claims for this reason I was using a works van, so after many many quotes I have managed to get my insurance to £602 thats fully comp with UK national breakdown cover and windscreen protection and personal insurance protection so I think thats reasonable..... the insurance company is Admiral.

I also rang them yesterday and told them about my new sidesteps, A bar with spots and my roof bar with spots oh and a snorkel.... the premium went up by a further £54 so I'm ok with that. One thing they did ask was it all fitted professionally and I said yes as it was done by Land Rover with reciepts etc.

My Landy is a 1999 TD5 Hardtop

Cheers - Jase

Just saved £165 with NFU

mine was £212 in Liverpool with sure term direct. I am 31 no accidents, and its 2.5na thou i did have 6 years no claims but they said they wont use them as its classic car insurance so i dont need them.

Adrian flux also insure me when greenlaning as part of the insurance, very good customer service ad well

Try Nor County 0845 345 4535 Speak with Lorraine; they offer a deal from Highway Insurance that cover all mods on Land Rovers, Engine Upgrades, Bull Bars, Suspension Lifts, Low Annual Mileage Discount, Green Lane Cover etc (Providing You are a Member of a Club) So join GLASS or some other Club and you are away. Be sure to state all mods honestly and you may find that they offer a competitive quote.

Some Insurers will accept being a LZ member as a club

NFU for me - excellent price, good people, sensible policies.

Both NFU Mutual and Adrian Flux would not insure my landrover as I wanted an agreed value becuase I have spent so much on it. They both said that it is becoming very difficult now to buy your vehicle back from the insurers if it has been written off. I guess it would depend on the category of write off? I will be going to lancaster

Ouch! Wont be doing that in a hurry! very odd! I would be asking to speak to a manager about that!
