M15 VW 0 Posted July 8, 2004 Hi Just got a letter through the post today from my insuracne company saying that they wont insure the rado against theft unless it has a Thatcham immobilisor!!!

Jim 2 Posted July 8, 2004 Yep - Corrado's need a proper alarm & immob mate. High insurance group and used to be a VERY common target for thieves.. I personally wouldn't even OWN a Corrado unless it had a good alarm system on it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted July 8, 2004 well ive had a quote of £120 for a thatcham immob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvwloon 0 Posted July 8, 2004 Every insurer I've tried wants at least a Cat 1 Immoboliser. I've had an Autowatch 172RLi for 5 faultless years, cost about £100, and best of all it's a remote immobiliser, and with a total closure module added in , well worth it!

M15 VW 0 Posted July 8, 2004 yeh but that was 5 years ago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvwloon 0 Posted July 8, 2004 Ah, yep, very true! Don't think it will have gone up in price much though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted July 8, 2004 A cat 2 immobiliser can be had (fitted) for around £90... Expect to pay about £200 for a basic cat 1 alarm/immobiliser rising up to silly money depending on what options it has... 8) For reference, my mate's just had a Selca Cat1 alarm with total closure fitted at a local place for £250 all in... 8) And, yes, they get me for immobiliser required on my insurance too... they even specified it on my 1.4 Astra Merit 'cos I'd changed from a Golf GTI to it so it was on the same poilicy... :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackberryVR6 0 Posted July 8, 2004 Mine insist on Cat 1, so you got off lightly with Cat 2. Managed to get a Cat 1 Scorpion fitted for £190.00, so it wasn't too bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted July 8, 2004 £190 is cool im thinking of just getting a cat 1 put on anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
