Hi All,

As I said on another thread, I have just bought a new Caterham.

My insurers have just come back to me saying my immobiliser is only cat 2, not cat 1 as required.

I spoke to the security guy, who told me that ALL Caterhams are only fitted with Cat 2, as Cat 1 would be a nonsense on a Caterham.

My insurers are insisting.

Anyone else encountered this, and how did it get resolved?

Thanks

jaker

apparently, CAT 1 has stuff that is totally irrelevant to Caterhams, like sensors for the boot lid...

As much use as an ashtray on a motorbike (or in a Caterham )
according to the guy that fits security at the factory

In term of getting a new insurer, they are one of the really popular caterham ones. They even use a picture of a Caterham in one of their adverts!

I had considered a switch, but as I have already paid over a massive chunk of cash to the incumbent, wont they give me back about 10% (in normal insurer style?)

cheers for advice guys, much appreciated
