Wanna Be!
Good evening Guys & Gals,
Fingers crossed by this time next week I will of picked up my new (to me) Nissan Patrol GR (Y61) I've owned a few 4X4's from X-Trails to Land Rovers, but I'm very excited about this one!  I hope to modify it a little for my own needs, and no doubt I'll turn to the forum for advice... Maybe in time, I'll be able to give advice too!  I look forward to seeing you lot around the forum! Jay |

It seems customary to name your vehicle, I'll have to think of a fittting one!
 Does anybody else find that the insurance for Patrols seems pretty high? I had an 07 Discovery 3 before this and the insurance was a good couple of hundred quid cheaper for the year!

What have you been quoted bud?
I'm around £600 but that's specialist offroad cover (includes when I'm getting muddy) with all mods declared and national breakdown cover, she's also kept on street. Mileage is 18000 as I was commuting in her and had some business cover (got a wee run around now so that will be much reduced). |

I got quoted the high end of the 600's with no modifications and no mention of Off Road use...
Who did you get that thru? I should give them a shout!
