The last time I insured one it was only £700 fully comp with a years less ncd. Il ring at the weekend.

I've had a quote from flux (through a comparison site) for £400 ish on a discovery when the next cheapest was about £700, surely there is something wrong with that quote? If its right I will be buying another discovery :D

I've only just started putting veg oil in (only used new oil not recycled) think I have only used about 30 litres of svo so far. I will pick a filter up and change that, but why would that be a problem after such a short time?
