Heavier than a T2 I think and still have the same front torsion bar suspension I think

Back seats are not removable without a socket set

They be thirsty beasts but go quite well off road if you can afford a lift kit and big wheels to get it's fat arse off the ground

Good value though

i had two years with sureterm insured a 91 disco third party fire.theft for very little money tried them with terrano but they wanted silly money as i had no noclaims as i have had company cars for the last ten years will try them next year again

Sureterm for me as well, They took into account 18years NCD on my other car.
£200 fully comp with lanes aswell for me n the wife. 4.2Dauto LWB Troll.
3000 miles a year limited mileage policy wich should be ample as the Odomtere stoped turning today of its own free will......Bonus

Why do you need extra cover as they are public roads aren't they??

This is just a guess

It might be (i know it isnt) like a form of public liability as most of the lanes are single track with other 4x4's, motor bikes, walkers etc so the chance of a hit might be higher or a try to avoid accident i.e. motorbike falls off a cliff... Or makeitfit rolls down a hill
