Alarm insurance query....

oldMaxim · 2011-04-11T20:01:20+00:00

Hi thereHopefully someone can help me out, I've a 94 300tdi discovery and haverecently moved insurers - and it's turning into a nightmare! - Iapplied for cover online and when the question about alarm systemscame up I ticked off LRSS, as I've come across that in the ownersbible before, and remember back in the distant past when I first hadthe car there was a scabby sticker in the window with LRSS or similaron it - the option I really wanted was "original factory fitted" butthat wasn't to be....Now they're asking for the alarm/immobiliser certificate, ho hum....Google's not giving away a lot on what I do or don't have working whenI press the remote. So if anyone amonst all you experts can tell memore - the remote has a single button, and there's also a flashing redlight on the middle of the dash which flashes away to itself,indicators flash three times on locking and once on opening - alsoonly flashes once on locking if my remote's batteries are on their wayout.... is this purely an alarm, or an alarm/immobiliser? ...andplease don't suggest I try stealing it to find out ;-)CheersMac

According to papers today premiums are all heading towards the sky largely blamed on personal injury claims.

I'm currently with NFU -Defender and motor caravan, but according to reports their premiums are going skywards like everyone else.

Yeahhhhhhhhh But

I don't think I'd want my van back once "one of those families" had been resident in it

Eventually we did get a twin axle , it wasn't new exactly and it wasn't Circa £25K

For some reason the Caravan Club didn't ask for a traker to be fitted

All though they did ask for an alarm , wheel clamps on each axle and an approved hitch lock

We now have it on a secure site with 6 months seasonal and six months storage

To get the 'van off the site you'd have to move several 45 gallon drums filled with concrete

And a few friendly geese one of which I'll be having next Christmas !!!

NFU took over a week to get back to me, after email, web and phone call's, local office too, "recomended" by local farmer friend, who knows the people etc etc...

Got the 109/110 hybrid insured (I hope, just waiting for the papers now) for just under 300 fully comp, with response/volunteer work etc too. "Academy Insurance". Seem knowlegable.

previous lot "Footman James" put the TPFT renewal up from a bit over 200 last year, to £647!!!!! Hence, I went looking, after laughing! DaveB.
