Recomended LR insurers please.

I recently had an accident, (not my fault - I was t-boned by a Escort van pulling out of a junction as I drove past) I was told I could not get it fixed at a 'Land Rover' garage or dealer but only the insurers approved repairers. Bugger I thought, but I needed it doing and I didn't want to make too much fuss, then the garage rang to offer to pick up my 110CSW and drop off the courtesy car...a bloody Nissan Micra! I have three kids, a wife, two dogs of my own and a third dog, which belongs to the in-laws but my wife walks them all together at park which is a short drive away! After a bit of haggling over the phone, the best they could manage was a Nissan Primera with a big sticker saying 'No Dogs Please' on the dash. I'd like to find an insurer who will replace my Landy for another Landy. Can any of you guys recommend any specialist Land Rover insurers? Cheers Wolverine


NFU; but I think any company will stuff you as far as 4x4 replacement is concerned

No... but why would you want to put the dog on the dash?

There is a sign in the Gents at work which says

"Do not put chewing gum in the Urinals, use the Bin instead"

followed in biro by,

"The bin won't fit!"

Gotta love'm, I'd piss myself if I wasn't already.

Thats because the repairer pays for and supplies the courtesy car not your insurance company... They have to do it to get the insurance work.

I thought it was getting repaired and a new insurer won't be interested in this old claim. Oh you mean the courtesy car being a better match to the Landy.

I'm listening as well...

I was the fall guy for the wife's overdue library books this afternoon.

There is a sign at the desk:

"This library does not have any public toilets. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."

Easily worth the 20p fine.

For years there was a sign in the toilets on Platform 1 in Paddington station - made in a quite official looking manner:

"Please do not place ciggarette butts in the urinals - it makes them wet and hard to smoke."

and one in the 'gents' at the Central Security Control at RAF Laarbruch (in Germany) which read:

"Please flush twice as it is a long way to the Junior Ranks' Mess"

I was in the "white Rose" shopping centre in Leeds a few weeks ago , had to call in for a wee, there was a poster above the urinals which said ......

"What have you got in your have ??? Could it be considered to be a dangerous weapon ???"

I ASSUME it was meant to be a sorta anti terror type thing ,, but it made I giggle

...............................Smurf

errr my typing gets worse ,, that should have read " what have you got in your HAND"

And a sign in front of a small house on the Norfolk Broads:

"Please Do Not Throw Stones At This Sign"

NFN as we say round here.....

sent off for an online quote, but they phoned back when I nipped to the shops, I currently pay £280 fully comp with a high street insurer. I'll keep you posted. Wolverine.

Ungood experience with them - took them 11 months to get me a policy document for a RRC, nearly doubled their renewal quote to me after a years clean driving. YMMV.

P.

so TonyB was, like...

And one (surely apocryphal) in the States: It Is Illegal To Ignore This Notice.

so Wolverine was, like...

Tried them for a quote after the LRO show, as ther present insurers aren't keen on the intercooler'n'chip modification to the Disco. Still waiting for a callback...
