The company who have…

NCB - Will I lose it if I switch to 3rd party only?
Currently got full NCB. I understand that if I dont use this for 2 years basically, I'll lose it. Does this have to be COMP insurance or any insurance? However, am I right in saying that only COMP insurance allows you to build up NCB and not third-party? If I go third-party now will I lose my NCB after 2 years?

He has now gone to Uni so its not worth adding him at great expense to my car insurance and my current (cheap) insurer won't insure drivers under 25 anyway.
