Ergh, done to death but....

[chuckle-bus-tom]

My insurance renewal is due and in light of the theft earlier this year I have to fit an immobiliser. Has anyone else had to do this and what did you use to satisfy the insurers?

(answers may be best in a PM )

My insurers thanked me for the phone call and then said it did not affect my premium.....classic policy

You can get immobilisers fitted through ebay

[davidvincent]

Yeah, I have a classic policy with club discount through footman james and they didn't seem concerned about alarms/immobilizer's, i do use a fat old crook lock though - for my own piece of mind... plus you can always add your own hidden ignition switch too, not exactly an industry recognized immobilizer but it is definitely a immobilizer, nonetheless

Sorry I cant recommend any actual products/fitters.

Get a Cat 2 immobiliser fitted

Crook locks take about a second to get off, they just cut either side if it. (if you put it on in the first place)

I always put my wheel lock on, you can breakthrough anything if you really want to, it's only a deterrent.

Generally they require an approved installer as far as I know. As far as deterrents go in a very real sence, if its not used regularly, remove steering wheel and rotor arm - not many would bother attempting then and even if they did they won't start it easily.

Thanks for your help guys!

Just got the proposal through and they require a thatcham category two imobiliser. I'd love to use those lads up in Wakey, but it's hell of a shlap. I'll figure something out down here.

To be fair, I don't want my van stolen again so I go pretty mad making sure it doesn't happen. I shan't go into detail, but it's a good fifteen minute ordeal to get him ready to roll!

In an ideal world we'd have drivers seats that could recognise backsides
