My first RRS is coming within two weeks, MY10.
The insurance company require that I have a tracker fitted. Which one is the best to have?
I have had a Tracker Monitor fitted before, on the Porsche Boxster. I would get a discount with them and only have to pay £145.00 plus sub for the HORIZON(monitor not acceptable now). Or is the Land Rover Watch better?

Thank you. RRS HSE MY10 coming soon

Thinking laterally, you could save the time/effort and not use an insurance company that requires a tracker. Not all do. Unless of course, you want a Tracker - then it's immaterial

LR Watch had problems with the tags not working at the start, but seem to have resolved the issue now. Glad I've not had to use their service for real but it does work all over europe. When the tags didn't work you got about 100meters from the house and alarms would ring etc. The monitoring company were always on the ball and helpfull.
LR Watch is the same as Jaguar Watch and Aston Martin Watch. Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

All trackers are useless and waste of money in my eyes. It is silly thinking that once you have a tracker your provider can track your stolen car. Speaking from experience one of our family cars had a tracker installed for just over £3000 and we were paying £500 a year for the service. Never the less the car got stolen on 5th attempt. The investigation revieled that ... (public forum is probably not the best place to mention how they did it )
As already mentioned by shmoogle rather look for a insurance that does not require it

Direct Line insisted I fitted a Tracker to my RRS and they even specified which model!
That's the main reason I switched to Land Rover Insurance - They don't require a Tracker
and they were basically the same price as Direct Line Added bonus was that
the car is also insured for Off Road Use which it wouldn't have been with Direct Line.  2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Car Theives, aka Scumbags, normal MO is to park up the car somewhere they can observe it for a couple of days.

By then if the police have't found it they assume no Tracker is fitted, seems like your scumbags were impatient and ripped out the interior panels looking for it.
Strange that they didn't find it, as I understood that Trackers were usually only fitted to a few certain locations in any particular model of car. Unless they did locate it, and it scared them off.

Not a nice condition to get your car back in, but as you say, if you want your car back the Tracker systems are pretty effective.

My RRS is curently having the interior put back after it was stolen and the scumbags ripped the inside out trying to find the Tracker. As they dodnt know if it did or didnt have one presumably thats the first thing they do.
I have a Tracker Horizon which wasnt activated until at least 12 hours after the car was driven off (I was in St Lucia) but it was located by the tracker and found in Barking just an hour after it was activated, so I would say Tracker does work IF you want the car back.

Well, I've found an insurance company that will insure us for £364 without tracker. I think I would be better off if I just pay a single amount for GAP insurance, then I would get all the money back.
If the rogues trash the car to find the tracker device, I'm not sure if I want the car back. I've never found that an insurance repair is 100% back to factory finnish, you will always get some problem later on. RRS HSE MY10 coming soon
