Just got an Escort TDI estate Ray. Insurance is £420 a year so not too bad... Having said that my transit renewal has just come through at a very amount :o

Shame I cant get more than 35mpg out of it at the moment (investigation is required)

Escort diesels are much higher insurance group than their counterparts, and vans are yet again more expensive to insure :(
That has surprised me. I insured my van very cheaply with Commercial Vehicle Direct.

I wouldnt be without it now, a very handy, reliable van.
