is my car thatcham approved???
petergalileo:
Same problem with Direct Line last year, I phoned Land Rover customer services who put me through to their technical support who told me the type of alarm, its type approval and that it was thatcham 1 approved. Just give them your reg or vin and they will tell you. If you have a rover 2 button fob that operates the door locking and has an immobiliser then its the approved version.

This is the document that describes it all, I had to quote chapter and verse from it a few years back, I knew more from reading it than the insurance company did.

In the end what they have wanted from me is some form of proof that the system works, so I get a piece of paper from my local independant saying the alarm works.
The actual Thatcham rules for Discos are:
pre Sept 95 D1 - delisted when Thatcham rules changed in 1998. Crooks had caught up with the then technology so the old LRSS & LRSS+ systems were delisted. They were previously to the old Cat 1 standard. Thatcham advise to insurers is to respect the old rating for existing customers and require a new system for new customers.
Sept 95 - Nov 98 D1 - Cat 1
Nov 98 onwards D2 - Cat 2
D3 - Cat 1

Mark
