Insurance Groups between FR and PD130

[ScottHmk4]

Been looking at quotes between PD130' and FR TDi's 130, whats the difference in insurance groups? are they both group 8, if so why are my FR quotes higher than that of the PD130, i thought that was the same engine? i can insure a pd130 for about £1100 fully comp and a FR for about £1600, thats over 2 years driving and 1 years NCB.

IIRC the PD130 sport is Group 7.....FR group 8

It wont just go on insurance groups though, the fr's are worth allot more if you crash them + a newer car than the older pd130 sports etc etc

Just have a shop around, i am with bell.co.uk. always been cheap for me whilst been a young driver. Im paying 950 now fully comp, business miles insured, 15k a year miles, can drive any other car tpft etc Give them a try?

Who you insured with just now Scott? As said, shop around and play them against each other. You will get a cheaper quote.

According to Parker's, Andy is right. Sport PD130 is 6 or 7 and FR PD130 is 8. >>> http://www.parkers.co.uk/insurance/groups/by-model.aspx?model=797

tried them, they were pretty expensive to my surprise

 

[mikeyfr]

My FR actually cost me £100 less to insure than my pd100 sport i had for a couple months with the same company Im 19 with 1 years no claims and with endsleigh im paying £1100 fully comp

 

[ScottHmk4]

wtf....lol

 

[krussel]

Elephant £287 Ok Ok i am an old git

Back in !989 21 yrs old Porsche 924 turbo, insurance= £1350. That must be over £3k in todays money. I was only bringing home £130, so ten weeks money, no wonder i was skint

Shop around big time always worth phoning to see if they can better the price. My partners insurance (churchill) dropped £100 on her cooper without really pushing them.

As soon as you mention the word 'mod' to direct line its an instant no aswell!
