Thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to stand up there. Not sure any of us are tall enough to stand on a cool box and manage to tuck! Thanks

Was wondering when you’re putting your tent up and down do you stand on the roof at all? We do on our T5 (often it’s a kid) to tick bits of material in. Looking at the defender we got yesterday I’m not sure even a kid could stand on the roof. How does this work with roof bars? Was thinking we’d...

Hi, Interested in more details about the defender. Thanks, Leah

Hi, interested in the defender. Can you give me some more details please. Thanks Leah

Will do thanks. Yep the comparison sites come in under £400 so we can go with them. Thanks

I think it must be location for them. Our mileage is low, under 7000 so not that. Just odd that the location seems to be such an issue for them but not an issue for other companies. I’ll get on to all the other suggestions this morning. We have had decent quotes from standard insurers so it’s...

Thanks will call them tomorrow.

I wondered that but they quoted our T5 lwb at £2500 2 years ago and when we looked around it came in at £750 so it seems to be Adrian Flux. I did ask during the call and she didn’t have any reason. I don’t expect to pay pennies but the quote is ridiculous. I guess I’d like to find an insurer who...

Just called Adrian Flux for a quote and they came back at £1850 for a 110 defender, unmodified, 1998. We are both around 40, no points etc. Infact we are pretty boring. I pay about 750 a year for a T5 lwb worth a lot more money and with 9 seats. I’d rather go with a “specialist” but the online...

Will have a mosey around the website and see what they have. I am a bit nervous of the weight on the Defender roof. The T5 seems more substantial.

Will have a look and see what they have. Thanks

We have roof bars at the moment. If we can’t find anything else we’ll get some to fit the defender.

Hi, About to pick up a 110 and we want to move our 2 roof tents off the VwT5 onto the defender. What rack/bars would you suggest? Lots of pics of 1 roof tent fitted, but not many pics of 2 tents up on the roof! Thanks Leah

Thanks, I am aware and we will definitely replace with forward facing seats and middle row seats with 3 point belts all around plus head rests. It’s deciding whether to get an early 7 seater or an older 110 and get the seats replaced! It’s a minefield and I’ve read a lot of old threads about...

Hoping someone can help answer this question as we are seeing a defender 110 tomorrow. Just wondering if you can easily replace the 3 seater benches with 4 individual fold down seats like you see in slightly newer models? We don’t need 12 seats Andy for insurance purposes a 9 seater seems easier...
