I have just get insurance from sureterm for my 'new' disco. They have stated
that I should have a cat 2 Thatcham immobiliser fitted.

My question is what 'cat' is a standard LR immobiliser.

If not 'good' enough then how much is a 'good' one, any recommendations.

Thanks

The 'cat' referres to the Thatcham (security gubbins testy people)
CATagory 2.

IIRC such things have to be installed by a certified professional in
order for the insurance company to accept it, there are companies
around that specialise in such things.

From experience - LR one button remote types pre 95 I think are Cat2 two
button remotes 96 are Cat1

One button on my 94 300Tdi, two on My 96 ES V8i

Go to your nice friendly landrover dealer for a letter stating what
group your alarm is because at the time of fitting discos had the best
you could get the other person is correct in what they say as they have
passive imobb,most nice dealerships will be obliging.

I got exactly the same conditions from Sureterm when my Audi insurance was
due last month. They did not bother putting the same conditions on my SIII
though, Ha Ha I would have said to them.
A CAT II immobiliser will cost between £99.99 and £125 fitted in Cambridge,
you need to send Sureterm a signed and stamped fitters certificate to prove
it's been done. I went with the £99 option. When I rung up Sureterm to renew
I complained that it would cost me £100 to comply with their policy renewal
and asked them to cover some of the cost. After waiting 3 minutes, the guy
came back to me and said they would knock £100 off the policy price. Not a
bad outcome.

Hope you get the same price reduction.

Managed to get a whole years fully comp free on the 300Tdi at sureterm -
they made a mistake at the time of last years insurance saying her indoors
could be added for £150 when she passed her test. when I called back after
she passed they wanted £650!! so I asked them to dig out the tapes of the
initial quote (they can work for you as well!!) and said I was going to take
out an add in every LR mag stating this - low and behold manager comes on
the phone and gives me a year gratis!! - RESULT :-). It's one of the reasons
I kept it really as I use the V8i all the time or the company motor and am
planning to buy an MR2 turbo to fill the lunatic gap in the "fleet"
