(G) 1.3 diesel my arse

I have just insured my diesel and according to the insurance guys its a 1.248L. I have not seen the Vin details yet so cant confirm for sure but how the hell can anyone round that up to 1.3 ?
Clearly its either a 1.2 diesel and should be described as such

The reason they do that is so that it doesn't get confused with the 1.2 petrol. With such a difference in price between them, it would be an easy mistake for a numbnuts at the call centre to click the wrong button. The 1.2 petrol is only 6cc smaller at 1242.

Renault do this with their 1.2 Twingo's, they're only something like 1119cc, so really are only 1.1's, what a bloody cheak. No wonder why it felt the same as my 1.1 Panda.

Fiat also rounded up the price of the diesel 500 to that of the 1.4 petrol and all!

Well diesel's are more expensive to manufacture....

my brothers bmw 335i is only a 3.0 yes its got twin turbo's but thats not the point
false advertising i recon

Why?

3000 bar, and yes you did read that right.

True. Thicker lumps.

You're on a car forum and you're asking why a diesel is more expensive to manufacture?

I guess they need good head gaskets then . Doh !!

Why yes I am, that is that my post asked. Why is there a problem?

We all need to learn at some point! I probably know loads you don't and visa versa!

It's just that it's common knowledge in car circles. Firstly most diesels have a turbo, older ones have preheating systems, they're also build stronger as they have to deal with detonation which will destroy a petrol engine if it goes on long enough and they also have fairly complex injection systems.

bit harsh

With the exception of J1ppers, he's just here to
