if a numpty has had it then yeah it will be burnt out now.
best bet to do if your not wanting to pay tracker is to ring up and VW corrado breaker and ask for silver panels and see what they say. if they have ask for something that makes the vw unique, will hopefuly find your mates car.
you have to pay to have a tracker turned on??? i didnt know that
will suck if its broken, never know, some chav might just have needed a lift halfway across the country and its now sat in a carpark
bet it's sat back on the ex owners drive way because he knew your mate couldn't afford to pay the 500 notes to have the tracker turned back on so knew he had plenty of time to remove it ect :roll:
Hope he does get it back in one piece though as it's a lovely car
Trackers do not cost £500 to be activated FFS!
You pay a yearly, 3 yearly or one off payment (depending on your own financial choice) an if the car walks you call them up, give them your tracker membership details, vehicle details & they activate it. If there asking for £500 then your non Corrado owning mate hasnt been keeping up with his yearly payments so its simply sitting idle & now he needs it hes gotta pay premium for the privilidge.
As for Tracker UK refunding money if the cars not found, bad news for all you misinformed peoples. They only refund the monetary amount the tracker unit initially cost to purchase/install. (Thats what they told me when I had mine fitted anyway).
I'm guessing beacuse it's already walked is the reason they want more money than usual?
My mate had one on his Maserati and it was under £200 p/a to keep live and then had one fitted to his RR Vogue for something like £130 and the same subscription costs. It surprised me how cheap they are considering if you get on the case ASAP and the traffic police are anything like the one's on TV in Hull they will do their upmost to find it.
lol @ Kayll. That's a possibility isn't it!
According to the Tracker website...
"With over 1,500 police patrol cars and 30 helicopters across the UK fitted with TRACKER’s detection equipment, the chances of recovering your stolen vehicle are greatly improved. "
It does seem the best way of recovering it bar none.
Years back my mate had some 'TRACKER' stickers made up for one of his cars. Which i found funny. It was never even touched though, despite residing on a very main road and being quite potent. lol
^you can buy them stickers off eBay lol lol
When I had one fitted on my white nova I had the tracker guy fit the stickers that came with the installation kit. Will be doing the same with the Corsa too.
These ones had the lettering about 4" high and didn't even look authentic lol.
Good idea fitting them though dude. Except fitting them to a stripped out motor with minimal wiring etc means they know they have less to tear off and search through. lol
Then again, riv-nuts are harder to remove than those crap plastic push clips that hold most interior panels on. lol
Ding, we have a winnerQuote:
