Thatcham 1 or 2

[.:xTreme:.]

Is the Clio Cuo Thatcham 1 or Thatcham 2 approved ??

It say immobiliser is Thatcham 2 and alarm is Thatcham 1



Just trying to get the facts to help aid lower my insurance............

Exactly that.

You tell the insurance company that the alarm meets the Thatcham CAT 1 specification, and the immobiliser meets the Thatcham CAT 2 specification.

sorry bud but according to at least 10 major companies I rang, it didnt make the blind bit of difference to them when I said that my broker sourced 172 did not have a cat 1 alrm, just the immobiliser from the factory, they think the engine not working when someone breaking in is more beneficial than an audible alarm!!

Thatcham 1 is alarms and Thatcham 2 is immobilisers. Both the best you can get.

Yup, its the immobiliser thats the important thing...

My old 306 Rallye had no alarm, but a Cat 2 transponder immobiliser and when I was buying it I decided Id get a pukka Cat 1 alarm system, but on ringing several insurance companies I was told it made no difference to my policy so I didnt bother!
