Best to check with the insurance company.
I've got Tracker monitor fitted, but they would also have accepted the more expensive retrieve.

Johnny Boy,

Group buy on tracker monitor £350

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?threadid=151626

Think I might be needing one too.

Oops, meant to say monitor.

He used to do them. It was Securicor Trakbak and NavTrak but think securicor stopped producing for the car market, wanted to stick to trying to find thier own vans.
Speak to Martin or Peter @ Autotec, I'm sure they may be able to knock you a deal together. Don't laugh. Call me later for a chin wag.

I'll be dropping mine in to let Chris have the once over. Don't tell him I got one, wanna surprise him.

He said I'd never get one, couldn't make up my mind. Told me to wait a few months till he'd finished modding the Green Wagon he's got.

Couldn't wait that long.

Quality, bet he'll be rubbing his hands. Sending a few pound notes his way for a mod or two. Enjoy your final fling in the Cossie before it's sad departure tomorrow, take it your off work for the day then.

Likewise, Shi*e myself everytime I go out in the Golf now, knowing that the deal depends on it arriving in one piece when I pick the Scooby up. I'm sick to the back teeth today, spent nearly all day on the phone to insurance companies. Decided to stick with current company, Admiral, as its only gonna cost me a further £200 till my renewal in November.

Think when the renewal comes along I'll be shopping around again. Hopefully it should be a little less painfull. Hit 30 in july and a few places (Liv Vic, Elephant, and a few others) were a damn sight cheaper for a 30 yr old.

No, didn't even ask if I had an Alarm. Seemed the easiest option. Was just getting so pi**ed off with insurance companies trying to fleece me. They said when it comes to renewal they'll price match the best quote i get with the same cover they are offering.

Fingers crossed they come up with a good deal.
I had to change insurance as i was in a deal with Dominion, through the RS Owners club.
Even the Cossie didn't require a tracker.

Hey ho !
Still at work...been a long day..7am start today...yawn..

Ok Cous, I'll keep an eye out for you on here(Stalking). Looking forward to seeing your new toy on Saturday, I'll let you know when I get mine. Say Hi to your good lady for me, not forgetting your mum & dad.

Just remembered, you're not the only one in the family getting a new car, are you ? Your maw get's hers on Friday. No Doubt a polish and Valet Frenzy this weekend !!

Tesco want atleast a Tracker Monitor. Put your details in on the net and it will tell you what trackers you can have.

Im with Tesco and they wouldnt quote a few people on here as they had Tracker Retrieve (which was ok and then Tesco changed their policy!)
