Insurance & BAS remap
Hi,
Am driving a 2007 D£ HSE and wondering how much insurance would go up if had remap. Im 61 and wife is named driver whose 60. Presently premium is £650ish with Bewiser. Ball park figures anyoneBelts, oil pump casing and water pump by Flack

In my case my insurers asked for the percentage increase in BHP, and increased the premium by the same amount.
It seemed illogical to me.
NJSSAm I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.
2016 Discovery 4 Landmark
2011 Mercedes Benz SL350 (R230)
1973 MG B GT V8 - 3.9L John Eales engine, 5 speed R380 gearbox, since 1975.
1959 MGA roadster - 1.9L Peter Burgess Engine - 5 speed gearbox
Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.
There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

Can't help you re the remap figures but I would be looking for another insurance company, £650 for you and the wife !! that's almost twice what I pay for me and the wife on my D3 and we are very similar ages to you.
Hope you get it sorted

I think my premium is due to my wife not taking her test until later in life so she's held a licence for around 5 yrs onlyBelts, oil pump casing and water pump by Flack

Bewiser and a broker or "middleman" not an insurance company.
Suggest you run a quote through confused.com or moneysupermarket.com etc.
You may be surprised, you could possibly even find it worth your while to cancel your exisiting policy and take out new. Keep the initial quote for without the mods to get a fair comparison then ring up the chepest provider and discussNot such a Disco Newbie now!

Performance Direct will insure 4x4s with unlimited modifications for about £300-350 a year for a 40ish year old. My last D3 was about as modified as you can get, including a re-map.
Off roading is also covered for accidental damage - provided it is a non competitive event organised by a club.
Green laning is, of course, covered under your normal insurance as that is just the highway.
