insurance hike - be sitting down
had my insurance last 2 years via Adrian flux, as NFU had gone up a bit too much. last year paid £464 (policy with RSA). Renewal just come through - are you sitting down - £1635, thats with 7 years no claims, and no changes from last year. After speaking to them they say RSA doesnt want the renewal !!
So - give NFU a go, as they have my house, caravan, and wife's car cover. - short answer - they wont take new business for my postcode.
so its onto the tinterweb and the phone

RSA used to do LR Insurance but lost that to Lloyd Latchford
I use LR for both the D3 and D4.
Admiral offered a good multi-car price but no off-road cover.Duncan

would be cheaper to move house !A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.
Just had renewal through from LR ins, gone up nearly £100
I'll be sticking with them for the offroad coverThe surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.

I looked around when mine came up in June and stuck with Aviva (been with them for years).
It was about £450 - includes SWMBO as main driver, me and two kids (20yrs olds) as additional drivers.
That is with max NCB and protected. I think the excess is £150
Aviva beat NFU for me by a long way.
Not sure about off road cover thoD4 HSE - Aintree Green
D4 Orkney my13 - gone
Stornaway D4. Gone, Didn't like it at all
D3 silver manual. Loved my first LR

Have you tried Tesco insurance? They quoted me £430 as my Direct Line renewal came through at around £630 for this year (up by around £220 from last year).
Will try a few others though before committing.

Have a crack at either Admiral for both cars - the multi-car policy is excellent - or have a crack at a specialist broker like Footman James who may have an underwriter who wants the risk.

Tesco (with my clubcard bonus) is coming out best at £553 protected NCB and with "finest" replacement car cover, although they charge £34 for green card (comp cover) whilst abroad for up to 31 days, taking it to £587
looks like it might be a go'er.
