Ah, great thanks

I do! It's a phrase I have heard before, often used as a way to say 'don't buy one if you want high MPG', but I already know that. I want a 4x4, but I still want to get the best MPG i can, even though none of them are 'good'. So the options I was considering until my mate mentioned the FL2...

Which is top spec, XS or SE?

Thanks, but when you say stop/start, you don't mean that button on the dash that says that do you? Do you mean this weird thing where some cars turn their engine off whenever you stop at lights?! That whole concept makes me shudder! See, I'm pretty old and even more old-fashioned! What age is...

Great tips thanks very much.

Thanks. I thought manuals should be a few mpg better generally too so maybe I will stick with that. But if I can find a nice one that I can afford, I suspect I will take either auto or manual as I'm not sure it will make much difference. I do like controlling own gears though, apparently it's...

Thanks, was actually about to ask, I have no clue what engines/models/specs there are, so was going to ask which models to avoid (if any) and which are best.

DAMN - Forgot to ask, are we talking Auto or Manual in the two replies above? And that's actually a point I should have mentioned. I generally always preferred manuals. I suspect if I hadn't had a Disco I would still want manuals always, but I am starting to drool over other people with auto...

Bloody hell, that's MUCH better than I was expecting. My Disco is just painful now. Spent so much on it, it's a real beauty, but I just don't need its real world capabilities and would much rather something a bit lighter and easier to drive on roads, sacrificing a bit of off road ability (mainly...

I am considering switching from my D2 TD5 to a Freelender, probebly FL2. I never considered them really but a friend of mine just bought one and said it drives way nicer than my Disco (which is pretty horrible to drive, clutch/gearchange is so nasty!). Most important issue for me is MPG but I do...

YES! Well I have had a modicum of success here and just wanted to share in case anyone else happens across this thread. You CAN get FULLY COMP cover to drive another vehicle, it's not like I used to have which was all the time any vehicle, but it's the best I think we're gonna find. Here's how...

Great idea. Don't let their insurance industry know how it works here, they'll see Franc signs everywhere! I can't respond to that, I am out of breath with laughter. Never heard of Adrian Flux, maybe I need to investigate that, thanks.

Jesus, that's insane. I have researched all day. Two are worth a PHONE CALL (not online) to discuss quotes, Admiral and Aviva PREMIUM (not AvivaZero, Aviva Online, or just plan Aviva, only PREMIUM!). The Aviva Premium offer 3rd party cover on other cars as standard but says "Comprehensive -...

Sorry, if that's to me, not sure what you mean

Yes it seems it wasn't as common as I thought, I must have just been lucky. My friend is 62 and he remembers having it for a long while too, but said it wasn't exactly 'standard'. I had a good broker I used for many years and they probably just shopped around and kept me having fully comp for...

if it's not rude to ask (and not meant to be), are you young, say under 30? Maybe you've never heard of it, but it was once THE NORM! I was never insured to drive every car in the country, but had many years of driving with fully comp cover on any vehicle I was given the keys for. Quite simple...

Effing world's gone to 5hit. I dont want a temp add on, I just want like I used to have, fully comp all the time on other vehicles not owned by me and with permission (DUH, otherwise it's TWOC). Ain't that the truth. I suspect the war on motorists will kill any desire to drive a car pretty...

I have wasted hours trying to make sense of bots and live chat morons who can't answer a straight question, wondering if anyone here might cut the research time down! Does anyone know of ANY company that offers car insurance with FULLY COMP cover to drive other vehicles, rather than just 3rd...

Refugees are welcome here. (Just not in my house, garden, street, town, county ideally. Anywhere else is great.) I wear a mask to protect others. (Despite what it says about my IQ) I hire non-whites to help achieve equity. (Despite it being the definition of racism) I take my 3 year old to...

When I was dragged up I was told patience is a virtue. Check out my virtue :D
