Immobiliser - Is It Thatcham Class 2?

[Bash]

Hi Everybody,

 

Need some help and advice on the subject of Standard fit immobiliser on 1996 Galaxy TDi Ghia.

 

Ive been doing the yearly look around for insurance quotes on my Galaxy and as Ive fitted non standard alloy wheels they are getting fussy and harder to find a good price. have been told by my best quote insurer that i need to have a thatcham class 2 immobiliser fitted to validate the policy if i take it up.

 

Now ive checked on the web and a couple of sites list the criteria of thatcham approved immobilisers, the AA site being one of them.

 

It states that class 1 requires both alarm and immobilisation features and a class 2 only requires immobilisation features.

 

I would think that a factory fit FORD Immobiliser would meet the Class 2 criteria, but its always wise to seek advice from the more knowledgable people around like your good selves.

 

Any ideas?

;) good news all ford cars fitted with the pacs system which is transponder in the key and not the shitty door lock activated ones are cat 2 based units :lol:

He's right - almost lol - All PATS (Passive Anti Theft System) ones are Cat 2..
