• Insurance tripled past year on renewal, any recommendations

• I know insurance has gone up a ton for most cars so it’s not massively out compared to others but has gone up more than most. I’ve got Lotus Eletre R on order, £130k+ vs my now probably £42k odd ...

• My renewal was 150% increase to £1580. Called and they came down by a whole £70 for existing customer reduction.
  
  Needless to say I renewed with someone else and managed to get for just under £8 ...

• Just taken delivery of new D300 Dynamic SE, trade in on my now 3yr old SDV6 Landmark was reduced by £5.5K from when ordered at beginning May.
  
  That’s probably reasonable. I got a quote from WeBuy ...

• Also have a new car on order, not due until probably late Q1 but I was in positive equity but now heavily into negative. Will have to see what it looks like when that comes around but changing early i ...

• Insurance tripled past year on renewal, any recommendations

• I’m not looking forward to my renewal based on plenty of comments I’ve read on here and in other sources.
  
  D5 values have definitely taken a hit too, although not in line and as sharper decline ...

• D300 HSE - Ordered 23 June

• Hey sorry for delay on this. I wrote a big post a while ago with a ton of pictures and the forum wasn't working right and it didn't post. Got annoyed and left it for a bit
  
  Hopefully, these pictu ...

• HSE R-Dynamic D300 ordered 29th August - Order Cancelled

• Got to agree, it looks awful. The dials being partially digital as they cross over the screen just doesn't work nicely at all. If your going analog then have two full sized regular dials and a digital ...

• I’d take 1 to 5 degrees as a result for the Scottish Highlands, it’s not massively warmer down south. I think though the weather forecast if you can trust it this far ahead has it getting to lofty ...

• The only slight downside is the dealer was hundreds of miles away. That didn't really matter except you get an "out of area" registration. You can select a local registration from DVLA for ...

• Working in IT I do understand the drip-feed approach on this. Guess I just have to wait until JLR get to my VIN. It's not a hugely amazing massive update even though they've jumped from 2.x to 3.x. I' ...

• Ran the car down to around 30 miles of range and did my first fill up. Got in 86.36 litres and the tank is 89 litres so probably if you hit zero it's not going to be giving a massive buffer. Also my m ...

• OK well that’s reassuring then. Hopefully just a one off but the guy on the phone made out like I couldn’t use it.
