Yup, when I was shopping around a couple months ago for my new D3, I noticed the SWB was £280, but the LWB was £480... (for the 3.0d V6) ... obviously I decided that extra few inches wasn't worth the £200 extra..!

Just got my renewal through today, a fiver more than last year at £225.

I think I'll keep it a bit longer after all
