with a name like McCrash I can see why!.
On a serious note I'm with direct line and no issues , just tell them you want to be within the %11 to %20 extra power band . don't even mention PPP coz they won't know what it is.

I had a premium increase of £11.60 for 6 months.
For those with no increase in premium please check your LV insurance schedule and ensure that engine mods (ECU) and exhaust are declared. I think it was the exhaust that added to the premium.

Was told the same - so long as the engine size (cc) was not increased...just keep receipts and photos of mods.

Misty,
I did get charged extra for the privilage

When I asked LV PPP was always free I ask 3 peeps on the phone 2 even asked the underwriter who confirmed, only verbally, "No Charge, keep reciepts"

When I asked 4th person to put it in writing on Certificate, he spoke to underwriter now there's a Charge was only about £16.00

With Tesco, with PPP the cost of insurance rocketed by 36%! They'd never heard of PPP or Provdrive and the guy I spoke to didn't know what an ECU was!

Phew - because my Insurance is up for renewal and the guys who normally give me the the best quotes (Priveledge and Greenlight) gave me a shock yesterday. I have an 03 WRX with a 24hr Tracker, and I am 33 with clean licence, full no claims and Priveledge are quoting a 25% increase on last year (now £850). Greenlight's underwriter has withdrawn Subaru cover from "New Business" as they have been getting 1 total loss claim for every 5 cars they Insure!!! More Th>n won't insure me as it is a "group 20 car sir - we don't do them" .......

Help. Are Liverpool Victoria OK? Any other recommendations?

Thumbs up

Norwich Union Direct
39yr / full no claims
WRX03 PPP £790 incl recovery (so have 2 numbers to call with ScoobyAssist & Norwich!) - no increase when had PPP. Checked TWICE as didn't believe them - but good point about getting it on document.

I did have to push them hard as were sticking to £850

I did try N/U direct but when I spoke to an underwriter and Fully explained what a PPP was he said no way!! I am like lots of people on here with Liv Vic who are happy with it so long as you have the receipt if in the event of a total loss claim. Tesco would insure the car but in the small print it said in the event of theft in less a tracker is fitted they would NOT pay out!! Car is WRX 03 PPP

Regards

John

Hi,
I have a 2003 STI with PPP and have no problems using Norwich Union for insurance. I needed to complete a modification form but no problem as long as you mention that it's a Subaru Approved upgrade.
Hope this helps. :-)
