I should have added after you have deleted previous attempts, you need to change the dates as there may be previous attempts(even months ago) that you can not see on the default time

When you said ditched, did you go into your previous attempts and delete them from the system, make sure you go back and delete all attempts, then log out and clear all your cookies/cache, a, nd try again.

I am sure it did state 400/40k 2 years ago when i got my visa, otherwise how would i have known how much insurance was needed, though i went for ox, the medical requirements were the same, but i agree it can be read differently, time will tell
