The real problem is the font is too small without putting the zoom to 150% to start with.

Many Thanks for all the input.

Will look into that info.

The idea was too get a reduced insurance premium, but briefly looking at it the premium isn't too bad, as I have 2 vehicles on the same cover.

If it was to be stolen, it would be good to get it back, then again its the damage they could do.

If its not cost effective, will probably rely on the immobiliser and perhaps a steering lock as mentioned.

I have a tracker with a giffgaff SIM. My friend runs a mapping site for GPS tracking. Can even track mobile phones

works with trackers he sells and the whatever brand I have. Note they need commands send via txt to setup. it's not plug and play

Message me if you want his details. The server side is free you need the gps and SIM.

Choose carefully re any steering lock. For example my mention of bending a pedal was not idle speculation. Years ago a Krooklocked car of mine was "borrowed" to shift a safe stolen from a post office job.

All security devices are not beyond attack. Research carefully.

Good luck.
