I was recently looking at living out an old dream of owning an L322. However insurance was going to be £1000+, road tax £700, big fuel bills and untold maintenance costs I decided to leave the idea as a dream in my head, rather than a nightmare on my driveway.

I am pretty sure that it is the L405 model on that is the problem. My L322 has the old "Press the keyfob" entry system.

Insurance is sometimes baffling. On my renewal, I phoned the broker to take my ex wife off as a named driver, he said it would go up in price, and it did, £40 if I remember. So I kept her on the policy and she's still on there now 8 years later.

I was on the verge of buying a RR Sport 300D 2021 year when I checked my insurance. I live 15 miles out of Manchester and am late 50's with full no claims etc etc. My current insurers would not insure me (though happy to take £550 per yr for my BMW640D) and going to the market got me a quote of £3920.00!! I changed my address to one near the border with Scotland and lo and behold got a quote for £1300.00. Still expensive but somewhat better than nearly £4K.

Store the keys/fobs in a faraday box or pouch, stops their signal pick up, also a system i think called Ghost where you programme the immobiliser unlock to whatever you chose, i.e, you have to input left indicator/hazard light/radio on etc, so only you know which button/levers to press to start the vehicle.

This gets even better. You get a special program installed on your RR which makes you perform a series of arbitrary actions each time you want to start it up so it doesn’t get stolen. All because it has keyless entry, which was supposed to remove the daunting task of, wait for it, pressing a button - whooo. Then, you have to remember where your key is because there’s no special holder for it - otherwise known as an “ignition”. Jesus christ well done humanity.

Some valid points here and as a Disco 4 owner I am very concerned with these stories. However, I'm not surprised that your choice of an E1 postcode on the edge of Bishopgate in the City of London (financial district) got such poor results. It's hardly a typical address for the majority of us.

Thank you!

Here in the USA, certain Hyundai and Kia model vehicles have seen skyrocketing insurance premiums due a weak point in the ignition system that can allow hacking so can be very easily stolen. So far putting on a steering wheel bar lock has been the most immediate response of Hyundai/Kia until a better fix can be done. Most of the thefts have been by 'joyriders'. Other brands like Land Rover and other 'luxury' brands, SUV's, are being stolen more for export, especially in areas where near ports. I bet a lot of LR's in the UK being stolen are illegally shipped to Africa and Asia countries with dodgy laws as to past ownership or easy bribery. Even beyond certain model and brand issues, car insurance premiums are skyrocketing in much of the USA (and likely in the UK) due to a number of factors. Larger numbers of persons operating without insurance or have low levels of liability insurance (so a need for higher premiums for uninsured/under-insured coverage). Much higher replacement/repair parts and labor rates. Long supply parts delays so higher temp vehicle rentals costs. Non-payment of loans. Higher rates of vandalism in certain cities.

Is the problem not with 2018-2022?

I live in London SW19, a Range Rover theft hotspot, I was quite apprehensive about getting quotes for a new Range Rover, however, the lowest quote was £1350 ish, which I thought was a bargain considering on a 2021 Range Rover Sport I just sold the lowest quote was over £3000!

Would have been a fairer comparison to use a golf of exactly the same value? Insurance has gone bonkers in the last year alone so I would expect that 911 quote from 2021 to be double now. This is what happens when you lock down furlough people for over a year and print a shit ton of money. Inflation goes wild.

All keyless entry vehicles are vulnerable to relay attack. The only reason you only hear about Range Rovers is the Media love to bash Range Rover. At one point the most stolen car in London was the C Class Mercedes. But nobody talked about that. I know more people who have had a Mercedes stole than any JLR product

I have trade insurance , did the same as you today, im in Devon and my current range rover had 4 quotes for £850 and an alfa giulia i have was £600 , im 51 and 3 years no claims, didnt think that was bad

Do car makers really think the public are to lazy to put a key in the ignition to start a car????? Personally, I'd rather have a key and a ignition barrel.

I own an RR Velar 2019 HSE. It was a shade over £400 pa to insure when I bought the car in 2021. Last year that went up to £850 which was eye watering enough. I’ve just done a quote for curiosity’s sake. £1600 was the absolute cheapest. We live in north Shropshire and it’s had the security upgrade. It’s really not worth keeping hold of the car when annual running costs are £2k plus before I even put fuel in. It’s even more infuriating to see the value of the car has dropped by almost £8k in as many months (it’s done just over 28k miles). JLR really need to get a handle on the situation as their vehicles are becoming unviable for so many people.

I did a quote for that range rover in Glasgow £1378 . I'm 48 with 7 years no claims . My bmw X5 sd is only £400 . Scary prices coming around again

My A Class which I’ve owned from new was £500 in 2021 when I had 5 years driving and 4 years NCD, then last year it went up to £550, now it’s £658 and I stuck with the same provider as the rest of the market was around the same or more. Not sure why it jumped up so much. I have more NCD, same address, haven’t changed any habits… Strange. Always wanted a LR, got quotes to see if I bought one how much it would be… For a LR Velar or Sport… Cheapest quote was £3500. Crazy

An insurance company should buy the market stock up; disable keyless entry/start, fit ghost like tracker then sell on market at a profit with insurance once the prices have stabilised/increase.

Joe you can't really count the insurance prices from 2 years ago, most insurance prices have gone up this year. I had a claim on my traders policy in August for £7000,, my policy has gone up from £1800 to £5500 on renewal in October

I guess the JLR solution will need to assessed by a body like Thatcham to satisfy the insurance companies? Wonder how long that will take. A high stakes game, this.

Is this applicable for Jaguars as well?

It would cost about 300 per car assuming it has 2 keys issued at new to make it almost bulletproof security wise from new with electronics and hardware. According to a friend who worked for A certain supplier of anti tank mines to the MOD . They were keyless activated and had anti-spoof software for obvious reasons

I paid £2,199 for a 2011 L322 TDV8 last month (October 2023), tax was an extra £695. If the insurance does not go down significantly next year, I will be waving bye to the L322

These cars should have been secure before they left the factory. Speaks volumes for the lack of quality control at jlr.

Jaguar/Land Rover have just launched their own insurance scheme to allow owners to obtain cover for more reasonable costs.

Is 'third party only' an option, as a last resort? Far from but might let some people keep Land Rover 'products' legal to drive.

All insurances have gone through the roof caused by idiots on the road and greedy car body repair companies. I had experience with my repair costing £1900 for very light damage the car was only worth £1600 taking into account the recent valuation drop. The world has gone mad 😠

That 911 is a bit weird because the 997 Carrera S should be a 3.8, not a 3.6
