Somthing i knew about but never took notice.
« on: 06 August 2008, 10:46 »
So got to work yesturday. And my boss was walking up to my car. He was looking around and spotted this box i had attached in the passenger side.

He says do you know you have a tracking device. I was like i knew i had this thing but nerver really knew fully what it was. It says on in gps.

I try to get a picture ltr i put it up. Then he went on to day possiable lower your insurance.

Aint it good how you dont notice thigs lol.

yeah it is lol i had no ncb when i insured my golf had a car waiting to be scrapped and the insurance was still running on it 6 weeks or so passed and the insurance ran out giving me 1 years ncb. i didnt bother to tell my current insurer till 7 months in to it and she said if you had told us we'd have given you some $$$$ back i was gutted my insurance for the golf was 1035 quid
you live and learn
you might have to change the owner info and get the tracking box active again iam sure you pay monthly or some thing like that

a guy i know had a similar thing he bought a ex mobility car which had a tracker took him a year to realise then when he phoned insurance he had to change the tracker name and address and update the module, it cost him £15 to have this done and a van came to him at work, it's £15 a year but saves him £100 on insurance
