	Yeah i wouldnt be without one- piece of mind if nothing else just annoys me that they dont take it into account that its a bit (usually) safer.

	Regardless of insurance it's still a good idea to have a cat 1. Imagine how you would feel waking up and you motor was gone :\| It's not 100% but they do make it a lot harder for someone to steal.

	Aye that's because no matter how many modifications it's still not considered high risk :thumbs:

What car do you have? only a 1.2 corsa B. got kit and 17s. that will be y then its probably not classed as high risk vehicle so they dont care if it has one or not

	Is yours fully comp then Kerry? cos she said to me that it makes no difference to mine.
Kerry	posted on 16th Oct 04 at 16:43
	tesco do take it into account i know this for a fact because they said if i didnt forward the certificate for my cat 1 by a certain date then i would have to pay extra premium

	Ive just took out car insurance with tesco but she said that having a cat 1 alarm/imobiliser doesnt make any difference to price- same when i added it to my last policy. I thought that having this sort of security device should have some affect on the price??? Not too bothered as i got it for 305 with tesco instead of 636 with NU but just wondered if any companies take security into account? [Edited on 16-10-2004 by LScorsa]
