993 Immobiliser proof

[cyberface]

I seem to recall there's an open letter from Porsche GB regarding the Thatcham 2 qualification of the standard-fit immobiliser on the 993.

Anyone know where I can get a copy? I've just bought my 3rd 993 (this one's getting supercharged ) and Privilege need proof of immobiliser fitment.

cheeers!

I insured my 993 with Privilege last month, and they didn't even ask if there was an alarm/immobiliser installed, which I thought was strange.

Steve - What premium did you get with them? I have just got my renewal through from AON at £569 limited to 5K miles with an agreed value of £30K. Which seems to be fairly average these days.

Speak to Hamilton & Palmer, they badge the Porsche OEM equipment, they are near Sevenoaks Kent

£601 including protected NCD, hire car, legal protection etc, 6,000 miles a year including business use. Norwich Union wanted £1272 for the renewal.

That`s pretty good, I think I will call them and get a quote. I notice that your car is outwardly standard looking (no offence) so I might suffer with the body kit and other mods!

I will let everyone know what they quote me...

Also worth trying Liverpool Victoria. They charged me £600 for my 993 C4 cab and don't care about any mods as long as the cubic capacity is not changed i.e. good if you want to supercharge it or turbocharge it as I hope to do. In addition, the policy also covers for track days!

Right, after a load of aggro with the insurance company, I finally got it sorted so here's the info for anyone else in the same situation.

The insurance company wanted either a certificate or the manufacturer, model and Thatcham System Test number for the fitted immobiliser.

The standard fit immobiliser (that you stick into the dashboard to disarm) on the 993 was made by Hamilton & Palmer, but the system 'manufacturer' is usually specified as Porsche.

The system test number is TE2-73/0494. This info should be sufficient for any insurance company requiring 'proof' - certainly saved me having to have a whole new system installed.

Hope this helps

I found Privilige to be pretty good, and the cheapest for me. £1200 premium on 993 c2 for 12,000 miles pa, I'm 25 and live in Newcastle! (full ncb mind)
