Then buy an 850/v70 t5 and stick it on classic insurance, you need no no claims and can get unlimited mile's on most policies :)

[LiamT4]

The ones I tried wouldn't cover it for commuting.

[Jamest5r]

My other olive t5r cost me 37 quid for 8 months added to classic policy unlimited miles and 20 quid of that was admin fee :)

[craigieboy]

[Kingsford G]

And the owner says its slow so what`s the point?

[LiamT4]

And the owner says its slow so what`s the point?

Cause its faster than an s80 d5 and the insurance on a t5 is stupidly high for him ;-)

[craigieboy]

[craigieboy]

[LiamT4]

[AndysR]

That's because they've seen the videos of you on the 1/4 and think sod that if he thinks we're insuring him the way he drives... ;)


Bloody hell you had a long paper round as a kid :)

Actually lol'd


lots of it birds every day lol

Fit bird of the blind variety?


As per the OP's thread title, if it's the one MRP took a couple of shots of recently then I think it's a good looking car.
If your young and struggling with the insurance then modding the car is a definite no no, and if your thinking it's OK I won't tell the insurance company then quite frankly I think your mad! Modifying a car and not telling the insurance company appears fine right up until the point you have an accident then if you need to make a claim and an assessor comes out with more than a few brain cells finds out your car is modified then you might as well have no insurance at all as you breech the terms of your insurance by not telling them.

My advise is keep it clean and look after it for a few years, it's certainly a nice looking car anyway, build your no claims up and either get another car or start modifying this one when you can afford it, but what ever you do don't run the risk of voiding your insurance for a few extra hp's.

[M-R-P]

He's on about swapping it for a discovery at the moment lol :slap:

[AndysR]

He's on about swapping it for a discovery at the moment lol :slap:

If he does I hope he tells his insurance that the Discovery is modified and now has a floor pan with more holes than swiss cheese, albeit it not through his own choice... lol

[M-R-P]

Does natural weight reduction count as a performance modification?

[craigieboy]

I saw his insurance quote for a T5, it wasn't pretty lol.

He makes strange noises when I take him out in the sweed but I do envy the 46mpg he gets from the D5.

Bloody bodywork on his S80 is better than nearly every early P2 I've seen too. Git.

[Harvey]

Speak to Harvey about the zorst dude ;)

I should pick it up Monday with any luck...

Try a quote with the same details but a year older and see if it's much cheaper, might give him something to look forward too, either that or save hard for... lol

[M-R-P]

If he keeps it long enough, there's plenty of work planned for his car to up it's standard so by the time his insurance drops a bit, it'll be very close to mint (with some subtle extras)

[AndysR]

Like the sound of that a mint car with some tweaks, go for it :)

[M-R-P]

like I said... If he keeps it...

He's a bloody nightmare with cars, although this is the longest he's kept a car since the last landrover
