Meta alarm and insurance.
Discussion
Last year Carl baker installed the meta alarm upgrade and life was good.
Recently insured with Flux (I know before you say but they where so much cheaper, half the price of manning who insured me last year). anyway they say its not on there list of thatcham alarms and I should take it to http://www.gapsecurity.co.uk/ and have a new alarm fitted!
Has anyone else had insurance problems with the meta system? or is it just Flux being total .... ....

Thanks, Yes Carl is a top bloke and I am in no way saying his work is anything other than 110% I would recommend him every time.
Flux like email correspondence and they take 2 days to reply, I have the meta certificate which i have sent them but as I said its not good enough!!! I have emailed them back and told them to look at the document again but thought I would see if anyone has had problems.

Thanks, no I will hold my ground as I have a thatcham alarm with the paperwork and that's what I told them when I got the quote and took out the insurance.
I stopped using flux a few years ago for other reasons, thought they might have improved. Its a shame manning was so far off the money as I would have stayed with them, nice people who know the cars.
will try msm if it comes to it or next year. although I called them all I think....

I might be getting closer to the problem. my alarm is model HPATI and is thatcham TC3-1476.
Now this is not listed on the thatcham web site - http://www.thatcham.org/files/pdf/compliance.pdf
But there is no mention of TVR either.....
I have emailed Carl and will wait and see what he suggests.

No, not on TVRCC, I have spoken to Carl and he has heard it all before from flux.....
He has sent me the Thatcham type approval certificate and after a 45 min phone call to flux the girl was suitably baffled and seemed happy it's ok, but I have still not had the email confirming this.
For those in the same boat I have found the HPAT 1 on the thatcham web site -
http://www.thatcham.org/files/pdf/compliance.pdf
page 22 about half way down or search for "HPAT"
I have saved a copy for future use and anyone who needs it in years to come in case it goes awol.....
In conclusion Flux are as bad as ever and I will not be giving them money next year or any year after that....

Yes, but how many of those years has your insurance started with a 1? I am in my second year of ownership and manning put my premium up! I had several close to the £150 mark, Flux was the cheapest and the best know of them....
How hard should it be to show you have a cat 1 alarm? and as Carl told me I am not the first and probably wont be the last....
