  9. i have a 99 freelander in at mo,, and the crown wheel is chewed up in the ird so the question is if i remove the out put shaft and put a blanking plate on (on ebay £20) and remove the props ect will this be ok....as the cars not worth the cost off the ird unit,,,
  10. I use to have a traders insurance. By shoping around I saved over 50% so it was worth it. Traders insurance is a lot more than I pay now, but if I was running more than 2 cars it would be worth it. The traders insurance I use to have covered everything, even trade plates and bikes up to 7.5T. Paul hi Paul.. my insurance is up to 23ton as i run a 6 wheel recovery truck and i have my kenworth yank rig (ice road truckers) few discos and my BMW ,,i have demo cover for test drives i pay £1480 (fnc and am 28) And really anyone can phone up for a trade insurance sometimes its better to lie to be honest,, most off my friends run m/t 2 off them are down are part time traders there other jobs are taxi driver and window cleaner age 45 there paying £525 each Question ,, I know a lot off people on here like to rant and rave over bobtails and tax exempt 90s that they need SVA and are not legal, they're not insured blah blah, few off you lot have gone to all the hassle off SVA and time and money just so you can insure it. Wouldn't it have been cheaper just to get trade insurance as long as its taxed and mot'd drive it do what ever mods to it you want? At the end off the day we drive Land Rovers there never 100% legal even on MOT day there is always some one who knows someone for MOT day aint that right .........
  11. hi,, there easy to do m8 will need to chop engine mounts off chassis and the wiring is easy as well as long as you no wot your doing ... any probs let me no..
  12. I don't get this hassle, I have motor trade if its got wheels its covered how much is it to insure then? why don't you get a motor trade insurance this will cover use for recovery/response.
