RichardAllen Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I have a 300TDi Defender 90 with the standard Land Rover immobiliser spider. My insurers now require a Thatcham Cat 2 immobiliser and tell me that the Land Rover one is not good enough. Given the level of Defender thefts, I have no problem doing this as one of a number of security upgrades. However, does anyone know of a Thatcham CAT 2A immobiliser which will fit inside the standard Land Rover immobiliser housing rivetted metal box (Part No AMR 5607) ? All help gratefully received Regards Richard Mods: Please transfer this to the Defender forum if necessary, I have put it here as I don't know whether or not the problem may affect other vehicles with a 300TDi engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkrentfitter Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 i would suggest you find a different insurer as you cannnot effectively immobilise a 300tdi engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardAllen Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Further research this evening on the Thatcham website would indicate that my LR original alarm and immobiliser is already Cat 1. I have requested clarification from the insurers As to insurers, a couple of small claims a couple of minor speeding tickets, a modified Landy and you would be amazed how many specialist insurers don't want to take your money these days. For me this has been a real pain, and since the premium has gone up 8x in 4 years (when the claims and convictions took place) it is now really expensive - and I am over 50 and of previously reasonable character !
