--- Quote from: "defuzz" ---I presume to do this we need to:
a) tell the insurance company
b) tell the DVLA? Its gone from a 7 seater to a 2 seater, if this is on the V5 I presume they'd need to be insured

i did neither of them, as long as u dont take ur old mot certificate to get ur new mot just say uve lost it, u shud be fine thats what i did i said its been a 2 seater ever since ive had it

i would certainley tell the insurance, ultimatley no-one plans to have an accidenty, and if the worst came to it, you could find yourself in the non-exciting brown stuff... then that leads to driving without insurance... you`d also more than likely find theres little or no financial difference... but honesty is the best policy.
Mr Alford:
the insurance company are aware i have
bucket seats, lifted suspension, larger tyres and different bumpers
i doubt theyd flutter an eyelid if they found i have removed the rear seats it nething it would be a bonus altho i spose its a little easier as mine is a 3 door may maye a difference
Ja1983:
by there policy, you will most likely be required to:
State clearly any deviation or modification from manufacturers factory specification, and any alterations to the vehicle which are likely to effect the liability risk upon which the quotation and policy have been based.
they could in the worst case argue that by removing half the interior, the weight reduction has increased performance...
sounds daft i know, but in the event of a whoopsie, they will often try their best to squirm out of paying up!
best safe than sorry

So, do you tell them about every tiny litle thing you do, like, i duno, fit a non land rover exhaust maybe.... even if it's only a regualr part, and not a performance one......
Mr Alford:
im with direct line and theyre pretty good with things like that ive had a ding with them a few years back and the car wa smodified and i hadent declared it and they still processed the claim so ive always told all since so ill write them a letter now just to be safe not that its easy to cause any damage to my car neway
