Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I'm 23 years old
    On a prov licence for 2 years
    Only have 8 months driving experience
    No no claims, convictions, penalty points etc
    Before people slate me, I'm genuinely looking for probable insurance companies, not a lecture about how I shouldn't be driving this that or the other or how its my generation that have insurance banjaxed

    But I'd be greatly appreciative if anyone has any pointers towards a company that could possibly insure me for less than 2500 quid for 3rd party only insurance?
    Need a van for possible work and picked up a tested, taxed Peugeot partner for good money

    Wrightway only deal through insurance brokers

    With commercial vehicle insurance, you really need to have a defined occupation that necessitates the use of a van, though I believe one of two companies will do private use only

    Im afraid your age and profile - no NCB, provisional licence - means you are going to find it incredibly difficult to get a commercial insurance policy, even for third party only.

    Best bet is a brokers like Chill or Insure my van but I wouldnt be holding out too much hope.

    Insure My Van do private van insurance. It's a commercial policy as it must but it's specified as private.
