I've only been on a couple of green lanes round ere but not for a while. Don't want to bash it up off road, coz that means I'll have to fix it when it breaks. I'm going to try the other insurers that's been mentioned, Thanks.

Looks like I'm stuck, that's who I'm with at the moment.

Just got my renewal and its gone up a lot from last year £150 to £250 its been £150 for years. Anyone got any recommended companies to try?

God I hate modern Land Rover products, I have an old one (40 yr old in late 2025) had it near 20 years, it's a toy really.😁 I work in the trade and dread getting them to work on, it's 15 miles to work and there's a garage less than a mile away, unfortunately a LR specialist 😆😝

My hastings policy on my 2014 jazz has gone from £300 ish to £500 ish for no reason other than they wanted to make more money. I'm dreading my other 2 cars although they are specialist cover (old landy and MGF).

I've had stuff ruined by duraleak and Kirkland Costco batteries, some of the Kirkland leaked in the packet with years of date left

or even ebay

I had the Astra Zeneca one on Wednesday at 5.30pm felt tired and a bit off in the evening then got a fever and shivers all night and I was wiped out all next day at work. Got home went to bed at 7pm and stayed there mostly asleep till next morning and felt better. My next one will be on Saturday , if I get a choice, I'm in my mid 50's

I had running problems and starting problems with my Mitox chain saw, fit a carb kit off ebay and it starts and runs easy. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Walbro-WA-WT-Carburettor-Carb-Diaphragm-Repair-Kit-C-W-Needle-Lever/201590648195?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

19 was supposed to be mobile and 14 home base but it varied by area, now it seems to be single channel (19) with loads of power to get over each other and expensive amateur hf sets as a status symbol🙄

I've got loads of cb's and amateur radio gear (took exam in 1998) there are a few people on near me on cb some good, some bad I've been using it since the early 80's. I keep saying I won't buy anymore cb's but then one comes along that's cheap and there I go again I know phones are easier but I like radio.

I can remember them from years ago, calipers seized, cam chains went, gearbox lost gears and then there's the rot. Not seen one in years till I went to Bulgaria.

I like the ones that have a gun and it takes little rubber mushrooms https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stop-Go-Vehicle-Car-Mushroom-Plug-Gun-Tyre-Puncture-Repair-Kit/254575619190?hash=item3b45e3ac76:g:jVEAAOSwpGpenwaZ

I pay £6 at a turkish run place. Getting a bit bushy now, don't fancy a DIY no2 all over though just have to live with it😀

Is that the old guy from "HOW"?
