ZS_John Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I've got a 2014 fiesta ST-2 an looking into getting the upgrade for it. When I ring the insurance what do I tell them as I have never had anything like this before ? Is there a code or something I need to give them. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HShaw Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Mountune packages have an 'ABI code' which insurers will recognise. However looking at the MP215 website page there is no code but they state: All Fiesta ST upgraded with the Mountune MP215 can be insured as models in their own right. When seeking insurance quotes please ensure you declare the car as a Fiesta ST 215 using the ABI rating available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divszy Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I think what you need to tell them is MP215 and that will give them all the details they need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Wouldn't bother with it anyway, A guy on another forum I know had his put on Rollers before and it was @ 201BHP on Overboost, after was 214BHP, it's way to expensive for 15BHP, spend your money elsewhere like Pumaspeed and get some better upgrades.

ZS_John Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Okay cheers I think I'll just ring them and see what happens. As for not getting it and looking at puma speed it haven't really heard of them I just no that Mountune is fords own / doesn't void the warranty so I think thst a safe bet with them.

kristriple Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 You really wouldn't want pumaspeed loose on your ST. I've seen a few posts saying similar now. What's so bad about pumaspeed? Sent from my KFTT using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattiff Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I have equally heard what I stress is rumours about Pumaspeed being one to avoid, stuff like fitting second hand parts instead of new, I'm there is a guy on Passionford that bought a Puma project car off them that was full of bodges.

mattiff Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Here is the thread I was referring to: http://passionford.com/forum/restorations-rebuilds-and-projects/295817-puma-cosworth-restoration-bodge-job-fix.html Can make you're own mind up as if the standard of work on their own project cars is anything to go by I wouldn't want to see what they do with customers.

Sheriff Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 There are many people on other ford sites that have used pumaspeed and received crap service from them. One unhappy customer even vandalised the owners range rover. That says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristriple Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm pretty neutral on this. I would have no need of pumaspeed's services. I can see sheriff's point. service that makes someone that angry can't be good. Especially if there are plenty other cases. Companies like superchips and mountune cause serious debate. Cost vs gain and such like. But I've never heard anyone say "you wouldn't let them loose on your car, would you?" You obviously have a different view Matt?

mattiff Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have nothing personal against them at all, never had any work done by them but I use numerous forums and was just passing on what I had seen. I'm sure the OP would prefer to be told about these things rather than be in the dark and potentially have problems. Suffice to say though that given the various threads etc I have seen on them I wouldn't call on them to do anything to my car. I have used their mail order service without problems though.

Sent from my SM-N9005 using Ford OC mobile app No I don't. But before I was going to use them I did some research on other forums. The response wasn't good. Go ahead mate, give them a try. I'm just passing on what I've read. Personally that's enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZS_John Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 £600 is a lot of money if it doesn't really improve the car a whole lot. I'll have to have a read properly and have a look around. Might just save my £600 and go on driving holiday instead :p It has more than enough power standard to have fun with it :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It's no different to any other firm. You always hear about the bad stuff more than the good. The norm these days for people seems to be when something goes wrong they take to the Internet and complain about, only when people are truly proud do they post good comments as good work is expected. Look at TripAdvisor for instance, reviews on there are either really good or really bad. No one posts stuff when they are just happy / got what they expected.

Sheriff Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 OK Matt. That's a fair point and I agree to a degree. I have seen positives about them also, and I admit also I have never used them in person so it may have been unfair to comment on them the way I did. If anyone else has any personal experience, that would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
