Anyone know which forester is the 252 bhp version on insurance data base. Looking at buying the Prodrive 2.5 but our insurance company don't recognise the name Prodrive ( which claim 256 bhp) so reluctant to buy something difficult to insure.

we have Adrian flux who give a forum member discount why not contact them for a comparison quote?

Had quote from Adrian Flux, was almost double the price for a standard 2.5 however our own insurance company asked if it was the 227 bhp or the 252 bhp model, when we said it was the 227 bhp with PPP upgrade fitted they said they wouldn't insure it.

As far as I know there wasn't a 252 bhp model....but there is one on their database hence the question. 

Have a word with you insurance company and just tell them it's the 252 bhp model as thats what the prodrive pack claims to bring it up to.

If it does have the ppp you should have a cretificate confirming this as it was a dealer sanctioned upgrade,

Personally I don't find flux to be great with their quotes, mine was silly from them last year and I had loads of problems, try mark richards, or keith Michaels &sky all are brokers but normally very competitive between themselves

Certificate is there however everything I've read about the PPP Forester claim 256 bhp. Worry of course is leaving any get out for the insurance company if anything 'bad' happens.

I suppose you could always ask your insurer about the 252 model see what specs they have and what matches with the car

Hi the prodrive is just the standard forester with the prodrive kit added from new giving the 252bhp it cost 2K to have fitted .Adrian flux will insurance it a at good price .They insure mine ☺
