Try Admiral as they insured me on a T5 just after I passed my test also. Norwich Union insured me on L plates for the T5, which was somewhat brave of them.

Hi Mate and welcome nice car you have there :) So when did they change the 40 range for engines? my neighbour has a 2.0t but i thought the T4's were 1.8 unless it is like the 2.5 lpt compared to the 2.3 T5?

[QUOTE=Mark_V40T4]thanx for the Nice replies about my v40 lol im 19 lol![/QUOTE] Admiral / Elephant will be your friend. TIP: Put 2 older people (40+) on the policy as secondary drivers and your premiums will nearly halve.

Good luck with the test, especialy the hazard perception!, god I hated doing that when I took my Hgv test. Lovely looking motor, you're very lucky to have such a nice fist car. :B_thumb:

didnt think they were 1800s thought they were 1900 and 1950

Post 66153 by Mark_V40T4 on 2005-12-18 12:33:42

i think its classed as a 1900 but the actual Cc's is closer to 1800.
