• That's pretty shocking!
  
  I've just got my renewal through from Direct Line, 40% increase from last year but still well under 1k. That's also a 2019, but I'm up north and very rural.

• JLR insurance .

• The insurance situation seems a lot better than it was a few months ago. Lots of quotes on meerkat for just 10-25% more than last year, which is not going to make anyone change their purchase decisio ...

• rear coolant pipes

• That's pretty shocking on a 3 year old vehicle to be replacing corroded pipes.
  
  Can anyone give a photo or a service manual illustration of the affected pipes that should be protected?

• Car to be laid up for 2 months

• Car should just automatically go to deep sleep after a few days, and battery should be fine. I’ve certainly had no issues with leaving it for just over a month.

• How often is Capability Pack/Active Diff spec'd?

• I find it shocking that they cut the low ratio box. It just seems an integral part of the Discovery DNA, I wouldn’t want to be without it, but the entire pack with locking diff is quite expensive, s ...

• I think it points to the BCM. That's what controls the lights. If they are in the off position on the stalk, and still coming on, it seems likely to be the BCM, but I suppose it could also be related ...

• Sounds like maybe something is obstructing the front radar? Had similar adaptive cruise not available warnings driving through falling snow that builds up on the radar sensor.
