| Discovery 4 insurance query....Help! |
|
Hi all, we are due to pick up our new D4 on friday, SWMBO has just called direct line to change the insurance over and they state that a Tracker device must be fitted! is this the norm? anyone else experienced this situation?
Who do you insure your D4 with?
Kind regards Andrew.

I was with LV last year when I got the D4 and they insisted on having one fitted, I have just changed to Churchill (oh yes) and they said they couldn't insure me unless I had a tracker fitted. I think more and more companies are insisting on them on cars worth more than £50k  Cheers Ian

I've been with Privelege for more years than I can remember  ,I've recently had a tracker fitted to the "landmark" and rang them to see if it would reduce my premium but was told no  Www.devonchilliman.co.uk

I rang Direct Line when I was shopping around and they told me I had to have a tracker fitted  But they were about £300 quid more than the competition Cheers Ian

Just changed from NFU as they've gone bonkers with their rates. LV wanted a tracker, Privilege did not, premiums were virtually the same, so guess who got the business.
Oh and beware, LR no longer support/fit "Tracker" the brand, apparently there were some issues with power consumption, they now use Trackstar or something like that - got that info direct from out friendly parts manager at Yeovil LR

Tracker required for me - 2012 HSE.
The £50,000 threshold makes a difference to quite a few insurers. (Although fitting the tracker doesn't seem to reduce premiums like it used to!)

got 70k threshold from privilege and no tracker, 12k business miles + protected ncb for £350.
just make sure they understand that you have a sdv6 and not the tdv6 their database defaults to.
and declare all your factory fitted options and any aftermarket mods.

Jaguar insurance don't need tracker. I even got a refund when I swapped from XF to D4 despite the value of the D4 being considerably higher than the price of the XF.
I also never resolved the difficulties some of us had with the MY11 that carries the SDV6 badge and the TDV6 VO5 document and insurance register. 2010 MX-5 2.0 Sport Tech PRHT
