^^Nice.


What about Tracker?
Is it any good? Does it actually deter the lowlife?

Depends if you want your car back or not once some scroat has abused your car to within an inch of its life.....personally I would hope it was shipped or burnt once stolen and I never saw it again.

My car being ex-demo has a tracker on but I never carried on with the subscription as my insurance were not interested in knocking anything from the premium.If it did get stolen  and the police know it has a tracker on and they request it to be activated once more,surely Tracker are obliged to help,I often wonder this.I refuse to pay the subscription to aid my insurance as any damage once the car is returned and my no claims would be lost anyway,might as well get a new car.

Protected no claims, GAP and then a big dog!



Is Protected No Claims actually worth it?

I was told by a broker years ago its only valid if you stay with the same insurer and they up the price every year anyway hence why it pays to move to a new insurer every year. Then if you do move you have to declare you've had a claim anyway!!

Things may have changed since then though!
