I do know there has been a massive hike in insurance (probably the floods)

I fear age is not on your side. My Mum (early 80's) had her premium go up by over £400, to just under £1000 for a 1.5 Golf at her last renewal. I could not find a cheaper quite though ( she is with LV).

Mine went up by £120.00, checked others and most were more, phoned my insurers and told them i had been with them a long time, my wife's car is with then also the house cover and it would be a shame to move, dropped the price by £77.00, result. Common sense isn't very common.

I raised the same issue a few months back when my insurance went up by a lot. I was told be the insurers that it is down to the slow supply of parts keeping cars off the road and increasing hire charges. I was told by a local garage that it took them 2 months to get replacement springs for a Toyota Rav4 recently, so it is not just JLR it appears everyone is being hit by the lack of supply especially from Russia where a lot of the steel comes from.

My advice would be to stick with the FL2 at this point, as the Disco Sport insurance has gone through the roof.

Thanks to all for the info, comments and advice. I have just switched to Churchill for c£550 - with all the bells and whistles except breakdown cover. That's nearly £200 cheaper than the Post Office. I now await their renewal quote on my wife's car (Toyota Corolla vvti) with interest!

That's a Vitesse model, I believe. I had an SD1 from new for 3 or 4 years. Brilliant car - if it had been made by Mercedes. Sadly, it was 'built' in UK at Longbridge as I recall. The steering pump/ram was a frequent fail, minor switches etc from an Allegro or similar and the paint job was appalling. But... to drive and use, a joy! Big lazy auto gave very relaxed drive and excellent mpg, but if you gave it some, it had a similar 0-60 time to a Saab Turbo. The David Bache design, with a wheel at each corner, huge hatchback and loads of interior space was a classic. It also handled beautifully too. I remember taking my brother (a dyed-in-the-wool Beemer fan) out on a wet horrid night on the A24 near Horsham. When we arrived, he said that if he'd 'tried that' in his 323i, he'd have been decorating the hedges.

Yes, IIRC beemers didn't seem to like staying on the road in any bad weather, SD1 had a very strong body for the time, nice cars in their day. DAVE. I.A.M. F1rst Driver.

I'm in the 80-85 age bracket and I am noticing that on any comparison sites I am getting fewer and fewer quotes from companies, and I am informed that most companies will not take on drivers over the 84 age.

Welcome to (late) middle-age! I've decided to stop being a good example and will now just be a terrible warning.....
