Synergy 2 - What is it called for insurance purposes?

rik007 · 9th February 2013, 19:51

Hi, I have a Synergy2 on my Rover 75 CDT tourer. Churchill want £448 this year. But they added over £150 last year when I delared it.

Can anyone tell me what is acutally referred to for the purposes of insurance quotes? There is a list of mods on each insurance website but I'm never quite sure what its really called.

Any reccomends for 'sensible' insurance companies who wont blow their lids at a slightly better peforming diesel? After all my mates Vauxhall 1.9CDTi Estate easily outperforms my lovely smooth Rover, but I know what I'd rather drive.

Cheers,

Rich.

Thanks for the offer Brian, I need the Synergy as I pull a 4 berth caravan. The extra power means I can pull it at a sensible speed. So it will have to stay .... unless of course I dtich the caravan, some say that may also be a good idea!

I think Brian is offering to look at remapping your car, same or better results than synergy, and invisible.......

If you call Adrain Flux Insurance 0800 369 8590 and mention Dan Clark ( A rover 75 forum member ) you will not only get a club discount but also this company are familiar with all the diesel engine mods on the Rover 75.
I have told them I have the Synergy and EGR bypass and they didn't bat an eyelid and offered me cover with no additional premium cost.
Good Luck.
Paul.

Brian, sorry I got the wrong end of the stick there. So I can remove the synergy and you a better solution to the power issue. How does that work roughly? I'm up in Cumbria now so can it be a solution delivered to the NW Lakes?

I beg to differ..

If you don't mind, stop your 'ditch the Synergy' advice - I don 't slag your products off....

I'm sorry Ron, but for once a competing product has proof to back up it's claims - yours has advantages (removable, resale-able, can use PB MAF's etc), but in headline power figures the 160 map delivers more.
