    Discovery commercial with rear seats

    Burt's the point, I tried that and the cheapest quote was an extra £2k per year. In fact on one comparison they could only get one quote rather than 65 with 2 seats ! I might try NFU on Monday but as of late they have been over 100% out with their quotes

    Discovery commercial with rear seats

    So are people getting the V5 changed from comercial so as to avoid the insurance modification problem and if so is there a cost to this or do they know of an insurance company that I don't ?

    pivot steer telehandlers

    If driven wrong you're right however if driven right they are more stable than 4ws as the weight is up hill of the pivot point. A lot more durable having isolation on a pivot steer than floating rear axle
