Renewal for my Velar came through, £1300 up from £980.
3 mins on Confused & I have plenty of quotes from £680 so pleased with that. Surrey Gatwick area.
Interesting, I live in that area and the renewal on my Disco5.5 is due in July so I’m hoping things continue to drop. It’s on a multicar which helps a bit, but reading your comment has given me some hope that it’s not going to be too bad. 3 mins on Confused & I have plenty of quotes from £680 so pleased with that.

I paid a few pounds shy of £900 last year (up from £700 the year before).
My best work mate has a 2023 90 V8 Carpathian. She paid £4k to insure it last year after a 80mph in a 50 van. This year someone reversed into her and accepted fault. Wing, wheel, tyre and hire car. About £6k claim.
Only one insurer in UK is offering a price at £18k.
I've tried all my usual suggestions to help and brokers and specialists, but I think she will be forced to sell. Has anyone any insurance suggestions or ways to help. A no fault claim shouldn't multiple by 4+ ?

Looks like JLR are taking steps to tackle this issue - might be a case of the horse has bolted though.
We own a 2020 Evoque, so not one of the models highest on the list for targeted theft.
Even so, we had a recall letter yesterday inviting us to book in for "the latest suite of security enhancements". The letter goes on to acknowledge 'the recent increase in vehicle theft' and ' a commitment to protect our clients'.
The recall code is N862 for reference. Yet to speak to the dealership so unsure how long this will take and whether this is a software update only.
Hope this helps.

Use Land Rover Assist to perform the update, if you have the option.
It'll then take hours/days rather than weeks/months it likely would with a dealer.
Not sure I’d be trusting an ota update not to ‘brick’ my car, frankly.It'll then take hours/days rather than weeks/months it likely would with a dealer.

Picking up a new RRS A/B P460e tomorrow, part-ex is aP440e, notified insurance today, thank you sir have a £520 refund. Looks like the whole insurance thing might be calming down a bit.
london based? i've seen a lot less of them recently, completely anecdotal with no real stats behind it. that said, seen a lot of the new RRS on the road.
