Whilst getting quotes together for my insurance renewal I have had an interesting conversation with somebody at Chris Knott about the spec level of my T5! My log book shows my car as being aT5 GLT, the two HPI style checks that were done on it when I bought it show it as a T5 GLT. But according to the system at Chris Knott, Volvo didn't do an automatic T5 GLT! The only way to get it as an automatic is to say it is a GLE. Despite my attempts to say that the GLT/GLE part refers to trim level and the important bit is that it is a T5, the only way for them to proceed is to say that it is a GLT with a note to the underwriters that its got an auto box!! Knowing how insurance companies try to get out of paying up I am a bit reticent to go ahead on this basis even though they have said this is OK. The quote was only £6 cheaper than my existing company though they did halve the excess.
What do you lot think???
