is my car thatcham approved???
Thrasher:
Second hand or new - if factory fit was Thatcham X when it was bought, it should still be Thatcham X ..... as the only time it will become an issue is change of owners, which is a bit unfair!
fezzy192:
if it only does 1 point immoliser then its a cat 2
cat 1 is more than 2 point of immobiliser and a alarm
minty:
ok i had this 2 years ok with adrian flux on a insurance renewal
:shock:
my td5 has a factory fitted alarm :D and immobiliser :D insurance wont to no now if its thatcham? :shock: why? diffrance in insurance of £650.00 :cry: so i rang landrover to find out and get copy of cert long call ended with sorry sir we dont keep that on our records good bye :x
so after a lot of telphone calls i got someone to come out and fit a new immobiliser at my house for £99.00 inc vat and i got a shiney new cert as well insurance company now happy i £100 out of pocket for some paper but hay i now have x2 immobiliser's on my car
1x factory fitted on the remote fob
1x key fob (dont even have to push it in anything it picks it up in the car )
2x alarms (i a hevey sleeper)
as i was told t2 ralates to immobiliser only and t1 relates to alarm only or it might be the other way round im more than happy with the results as well, when the man was installing the immobiliser a couple of pikeys who live in my street even commented on how good that perticular product was :shock: and ther wernt much piont in trying to nick it (laught quickly and smile ho [!Expletive Deleted!])

Thanks for the info guys,after 20 minutes on the phone to the insurance goon :roll: i described in detail how the standard alarm worked with a transponder system,and eventually he agreed that it was upto standard even without the second immobiliser :lol:
Guess i will have it all to go through again next year ](*,)

I went through this with FireBond of all people. It took em three months to tell me that the factory fitted alarm/immobiliser on my 93Disco wasn't Thatcham Approved. The insurance expired last week (renewed with Highway through PostOffice) and they still hadn't told me whether it was acceptable or not.
