Hi Guys.
Getting a MY98 5dr this weekend. But insurance is demanding a Tracker.

Any pointers as to which is best ??
Oh...and costs ?

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

Johnny50

Insurance company arn't too fussy.
They listed the usual RAC Trackstar...Tracker monitor..retrieve..

If you dont mind me asking..how much was yours ??

Bit of a treck to Birmingham..

Trying to see if i can get one through my mum..

Does your Paw not do them ??

M0NEY

Who is your insurance with?? Some insurances wont except a tracker retrieve, they say you need atleast a Tracker Monitor.

Johnny50

I'm with Tesco.

Pyrocam999

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.

Will do Cous.

Still at work, then heading down to Chris Allans to pick up the Cossie before it goes tomorrow.
Will call you when i get in tonight.

Johnny

Pyrocam999

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.

Muiry

Johnny50

Tried to sell it to me too !! Bit old though.

He doesn't know i've got my wagon either !!

Pyrocam999

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.

muiry

Johnny50

Nope. In the office tomorrow. I'll just be popping out to change the plates and then meet the guy.

Wont be having a final fling with the Coss. Knowing me something will go wrong !

Pyrocam999

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.

Johnny50

Are Admiral requesting a tracker on yours ?

Pyrocam999

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.

Muiry

Johnny50

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..

Pyrocam999

I'm off on the Pat & Mick. Should have been on a course down in Gullane, managed 2 days then came home. Signed off till thursday, start Day shift again on sunday.

Johnny50

Any excuse to get out of training eh ?

Will try calling you later, if it's late i wont bother, still need to go to Stenton..Ritchies...mums.....home...

Pyrocam999

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 !!

Muiry

M0NEY

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!)

Johnny50

Thanks Money.
I'll do that now.

Johnny

Pyrocam999

Yeah, Tesco still require Tracker Monitor as a minimum, got a little mixed up earlier (apologies). Phoned them today and they confirmed they need Monitor or equivelant.

Johnny50

Nice one mate !

That'll do me.
