The quote I got was on gocompare and the the top 4/5 quotes were all well known companies ans within £5/10 of eatch other.

Astonishing how prices like that are being paid for fords😱

Boyhood aspirations or boyhood memories.

Proof that marketing can still work decades after it was paid for.

Who/where/what insurance providers do people use?

I haven't needed to buy insurance in the UK for a few years so completely out of touch with which ones are good / expensive / useless etc.

If you suspect that your self leveling doesn't work correctly, then you would be well advised to remove it completely* and fit non SL springs and shocks.

* Pulling the fuse/relay is not the same thing.

Also rear springs and shocks are different between saloon and estate, so shop carefully.

All know is the pipes are not connected to the rear shocks, but the pump still whirs away now and again telling me it's still trying to do something, whether it's doing anything is another story. I suppose it can't be as it's not connected up.

That's the issue really, the car has Tity seats which feel the same (to me) as my best mates 2008 mundaneo Tity X. His are top of the range I'm sure as that car has literally every option box ticked (former demonstrator). I find those equally uncomfortable on long drives.

The issue is the bolsters on the squab, they're fine for the first 30mins or so but then the outer side bolster digs into the back of my right thigh/base of my ar$e and gives me a dead leg.

Given there is space to the outside of the seat I'm debating  taking the covers off, splaying these bolsters out (to near horizontal on the outer side) then adding some more foam under the seat cover.

Probably a similar level of faff but for a better result

Who / what / where do members go to for their insurance nowadays?

Looking for insurance for a 2008 Galaxy diesel.

Wifes nephew is restoring one of those. He has been at it for a few years because he is an absolute perfectionist.
From what I saw of it last year it will be a lot better than a new one from a showroom in 1990 when its finished.
He has a split screen VW camper he restored which has to be seen to be believed.
His day job is doing the electrics on cars being converted into Police cars.
The VW camper has everything internal, operated by remote control - tv popping up, bed folding up / down etc.

 Very oddly, the renewal came through for the Monaro, £328.
When I told them I had changed the reg plate to a private one, it went down £41
