Insurance moan

[SassyT]

I had to do the same when I bought mine a couple of months ago - it already had an alarm & central locking but no immoboliser

Cost me £141 inc VAT & had to send the insurance co (A-Plan) a certificate to say it had been fitted

Apparently the reason they insist on it for the Surf when they didn't for the Disco I had before is nothing to do with it being an import - the Disco has them factory fitted

well just informed virgin insurance (like a good boy) of my 2" spring lift and they put up my premium up by £100 and made my exess £500 so i got on to lifesure and with the same deal i got it just over £100 cheaper and with a £200 exess needless to say i dont do buseness with virgin any more!

They probably thought a 2" spring lift was a very expensive stereo.

the not so bright girl on the phone was trying to tell me that i had uprated shocks too, which i havent! I tryed to explaine that the shocks and spings were not the same but she was having none of it. They are all out to get as much money off us as they can!

Ok, my new immobiliser arrived this morning and it does have a certificate with it. The problem is an authorised fitter must sign off on it and stamp the certificate before i send it
Will keep you posted...

Very true and seeing as most of us aren't sharing our age with Yoda our insurance require a little more dosh.

my surf actually cost me £6 less a year than my k reg astra 1.6i van . went through churchills as well fully comp £234 and im in the motor trade!
i did have to obtain a certificate for the immobiliser tho, so i took it to my local ice/ alarm install company they checked it over and for £15 gave me a shiny new certificate!! im even more pleased my renewal dropped by £16 too

[Spud73]

Thats good to know. My only worry was whoever i asked to certificate the system would refuse on the basis that i hadn't bought one of their devices.
