Insurance situation

[Pika1971]

Hi,
I just called to get an insurance quote for my 91, 2.4td ln130, and for some reason it has 2.5 on the owners doc, so the woman from the insurance company said we don't list that we have that as a 2.4, I said I know its a 2.4 and I am no sure why it says 2.5 on the document, she refused to believe me that it really was a 2.4, and claims that as it says 2.5 on the document they won't insure it.
I am not going mad am I it is a 2.4?
And any advice on decent insurance companies, the one that refused was Hastings Direct.
Cheers

best bet would be to get the V5 changed to 2.4...

and don't mention it when you phone for insurance....
just call them back and say 2.4!

I'm with lifesure - very good.

The size is actually 2.446cc.

If you do the maths.........round up the last number = 2.45, round up the last number = 2.5, so technically she's right = she's a beach!

Tesco on-line car insurance, has a drop down menu with the 2.4 listed.

Done an on-line application with lifesure, unfortunately they are not open Saturday afternoons.
Will see what Tesco have to offer...
