Good to know, assumed it wouldn’t start without it. The cost alone is still the biggest barrier. GPS tracking can be had for next to nothing these days in various guises at nowhere near that cost.

The battery is flat in my fob at the moment, I have a new battery but haven't gotten around to putting it in yet. I get the call from Vodaphone if I use the car with the flat battery in the fob but I can still use it.

Thanks for NFU recommendations. I tried them and premium was similar to LV but wanted much higher excess -£1000 or £1500 if stolen plus require a tracker if want theft cover. Slightly surprised to hear they didn't have car on their system - said it takes a couple of months to refresh - well its more like 2.5 years.

Looks like I will need to get a tracker. I thought I lived in a low risk area just outside m25. Just hope the tracker doesn't drain the battery like it didn't on my previous old shape vantage.

Mine is not a 992 but a 991.2 Targa 4 GTS. My premiums with a broker I had been using for a number of years had been going up by just over £100 a year so I decided last week to shop around. I tried LV and got a quote for £185.96, which compared very favourably with the £1230 I was asked to pay with my "old" Insurer. Yes, a tracker is needed (£235 a year), but I would have needed that anyway. Can use the OPC for any repair work (subject to an additional £200 excess if the OPC is not on the approved list- which, apparently, varies from year to year), which is always a must have for me.
