Evening, I have owned LR products for about 33 years. My current car is a RR L405 Autobiography 2017. I have no accidents or convictions and 20+years NCB. I live in Ramsbottom ( very low crime area) and have a Ghost 2 immobiliser and Satellite tracking fitted. I also only cover 7000 miles per year and an 63 years old. So when I asked for an insurance quote from LR insurance was surprised and annoyed when they declined to quote and would not tell me the reason. To say I am pissed off with LR is an understatement.

JLR not insuring their own products as it all !!

@gerrygrehan4257 Ай бұрын

Hi Colin i agree with you 100%. I have a similar situation as you and Land Rover refused me insurance. It's all a scam from them. Wish I could move over to another brand but love the Range Rover.

@miketilsley5898 Ай бұрын

Similar situation with me RRS P440e new in September JLR wouldn't insure it. I got a fairly reasonable price elsewhere, thankfully. Failed in week two of ownership and followed with 17 weeks at the dealers. Expensive insurance for a car we couldn't use!! Shocking service from the dealer and absolutely no interest from JLR themselves.

Credit to JLR, they emailed me a couple of weeks ago about a security update (N888) for my 2024 RR, I called to book it in and I had a Land Rover Assist chap come to my house the next day at 7am to apply it, 15mins and off he went. Outstanding. I still have keyless disabled though 😆

@BionicRusty Ай бұрын

There. He said it. Doesn’t matter what you do, insurance on RR’s is staying right up there. If the CEO is telling the truth, then why is insurance going up 1,000 fold? Does this means that the insurance companies are scamming the owners? 🤷🏻‍♂️ However you look at it, seems this is the case. When JLR said that they’re making the RR brand elitist, I never, for one minute, thought that they’d do it this way.

Just recently traded in my L494 Sport, completely lost confidence with JLR. Left it far too late before any action, and still nothing for the earlier cars. Last LR I ever own. Shame really, as it appeared I had a “good one” regarding reliability. Although oil dilution problems was diabolical

Just for fun. Found a nice low miles RR SV Autobiagraphy this afternoon Just over £55000. 2018. Low miles. Perfect for me as I still have an L322 that I love, but its time to change. Went stright to Land Rover Insurance. Im fairly perfect. Not able to insure. 😮 Ill try again at the end of the year to see if things have improved. Thank you for the update.

I had a RS Turbo and eventually ended up with a stop lock and a had a length off chain from the seat mounting, around the steering wheel and removed the ignition regulator so it wouldn’t start, and 7 foot off Barb wire under the bonnet to stop them reaching, up to underneath the car and releasing the bonnet catch,it did stop them getting the car but then they decided to start taking parts, off the car eg rear spoiler and such like but they did eventually, get the car when I was out but this was back in the 90s and the car thieves will always win 🤷‍♂️👍👍

I own a 2017 BMW X5 and have ghost immobiliser and Scorpion S5 tracker fitted. My insurance company gives me a discount for the tracker but I get no benefit for the ghost immobiliser which I find strange as it is the device which gives me the most peace of mind out of the two of them.

@user-cf9ne9mu7b Ай бұрын

Thanks Richard for keeping us up dated. We still haven't had the call to update either of our L405s. We have a 71 plate 525p Autobi and a 67 plate 3.0se. I've disconected both lots of keyless entry for a slight piece of mind but it's a concern when we go on our travels. I had a recent quote for a Ghost system and my insurance (Hastings) would increase by £75. There are to many inconsistencies with insurers.

I really doesn’t matter what extra security measures such as the ghost , insofar if the insures are treating the security updated models the same as ones not updated you might as well put the £500 plus cost towards your insurance, insurers are just ripping off the customer knowing we have to insure our vehicles.

I recently got my BCM update and renewed my policy on my 18 plate range Rover sport and mentioned I have had the update done and Admiral didn’t know anything about the update. Therefore it didn’t make a difference and I also asked about any extra security and agin was told it wouldn’t make a difference in price. I do have a multiple policy including my transit connect and home insurance which in total was £2130, I had done a comparison site and was quoted more just for the Range Rover alone.

Firstly, I wish to thank you for passing me to your insurance contact with regard to my daughters 2016 Range Rover Sport renewal quote of £26,400 based in London. Sadly he had no success in getting any other quotes. Also I’ve tried JLR Insurance with no success either. My wife in Bedford got a quote of £3600 for the car but her teachers car insurance company would not cover my daughter as a named driver (19 years NCB, with 2 recent no fault claims ( incl one theft, but retrieved ), and 2 motorway speeding fines). I wonder whether you may have come across any other solutions?

Richard, according to the JLR spokesman who did a Q&A in the Comments section of one of your previous videos, the UWB tech was introduced in 2018 to deal with 'Relay Theft' issues. This new security update campaign is to "protect against the Body Control Module method" of theft. However, I am unclear as to whether or not vehicles older than 2018 can have the BCM security upgrade, but not the earlier UWB tech upgrades as this would presumably involve new keys?

JLR state that any vehicle with a confirmed back order part which leaves your vehicle “off the road” will provide you with a loan/hire car…this is costing JLR £85 a day!!! I have a new RR with a windscreen that suffered a crack across the drivers side. There is no ETA worldwide to replace the screen and the vehicle has now been off the road for a month…they claim they can’t “line pick” a screen from the production line? I don’t know why not as they are clearly still producing RR on a daily basis…

S5 has tags that are paired to the tracking system. If they are not present when the car is moved the tracking company will call the owner. There is an additional version called an S5+ that will not allow a start without the tags. This is different from the cheaper S7 that has no tags so you have to tell the tracking company that it is stolen before they start looking for it.
