This should maybe go in insurance, but is actually a technical question. For PPP fitted to MY00 I gather power "officially" is 237bhp from 215bhp - an increase of 10.23%. Insurer bands power increase up to 10% then 11-20%. It's which band to declare. I would be safer going for the higher one, and then it give me room to add other things later?

I thought the My00 was 218 bhp, therfore it is less than 10%.

Problem solved

218ps in metric, 215bhp. Nice idea!

Anyway 10.23% is 10% to two significant figures

And they must just be using 2sf if they are saying up to 10 and then 11-20 rather than up to 10.99 then 11.00-20 etc. I'm just a little wary of conniving insurance companies...

And is 237bhp actually the "official" figure - some have said lots of different figures?

Does fuel make a difference to the MY00 PPP?
For my MY01 I have declared under 10% as it goes from 215 to 230bhp on 95RON,which is under 6%.
However IF i put 97RON in, its up to 245bhp which is over 10%. I cant see them testing the fuel if you have a claim.

john banks

and 218ps to 240ps is just about bang on 10%. I think that is what I'll declare - they are only interested in max power - I am interested in the 20% increased midrange

Good thinking Mark! That settles it I think. Cheers.

None of the above comparisons makes 10%
I have already got a quote from my insurers on the basis of a 10% increase.
