Range Rovers becoming uninsurable in London?

Is it just the big range rovers that are the issue for this or does it include all models in the range like discos etc? Also is it just the south east or is it across the whole country?
I just ran up quotes for a Discovery 5 and they're coming in roughly a third of the RRS prices I've had. Does seem like less of an issue for Discovery and can see that Range Rover brand issue!Likes of DirectLine said "no" to Discovery too though and like they've just turned off LandRover for at least the time being.

I’m sure we will see prices starting to stabilise in 3-6 months; will they have a bit of a bounce back? Possibly, but I wouldn’t expect it to backfill what we’ve seen recently.

The velar and the disco sport were amongst the worst affected cars so no it’s across the range with the defender fairing better.No it’s not just the south east, in fact where I am in the south east premiums aren’t too bad. London seems to be badly affected and then the usual car crime hotspots elsewhere.

Last year, the renewal premium for the Disco was £970 (up from c£760). I've just put all the details into comparethemarket, and Admiral are quoting £1195 like for like. So all being well, come July this year, my renewal will be there or thereabouts what I paid last year once multi-car discount has been applied etc.

However that was home burglary and key taken.
Tracking system was disabled somehow though, within 10 min of it driving off the drive. Never recovered although there is a young man currently sat in prison somewhere awaiting his Crown Court appearance later this month

Can’t be hard to find out where the trackers are and how to disable them.

I think DirectLine will do (some) renewals according to press articles a few weeks ago. No new policies by sounds of it which is what I was after.
"Direct Line Group, which also includes Churchill and Privilege, said it has stopped offering insurance on Range Rovers for new customers but renewals could be possible, subject to customers' circumstances."

“I would rather funds be put towards [dealing with our problems] than tax cuts next year. This is important to so many people”.
Well, as many people as buy new JLR products. Probably not super important to key workers running ten year old Fiestas and who might prefer the tax cut.

If they’re one of the 6000 fiesta owners who had their car nicked in 2023 they might consider it important.“I would rather funds be put towards [dealing with our problems] than tax cuts next year. This is important to so many people”.

He’s right, the state of the police and judicial system in this country is piss poor and we should be fixing broken things before we cut taxes. We all know that the tax cuts aren’t going to benefit the people you mention, they’ll be aimed squarely at the sort of people who can afford to buy new JLR products, I’ll take law and order please.
