Hi,
I'm getting quotes but one of the questions they ask is if my car has an alarm and if it's Thatcham approved, I have no idea. I was hoping someone could help, my car is a 2005 Vauxhull Corsa life, petrol, manual, 5 door.
Thanks
Ninko

I doubt anyone here can tell you for certain. Surely you know if it has an alarm?
Take it to a Vauxhall garage?
There is usually an option for factory or manufacturer fitted.
If in doubt, answer 'no'.0 -

Would suggest not but you may have an after market one fitted.0 -
Just select factory fitted if your unsure. If you tick yes thatcham they may ask for the certificate.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0

I can't imagine the risk of theft accounts for a large percentage of the premium on a 10 year old Corsa, so it's not likely to make a big difference to your premium. OTOH claiming that you have a better alarm than you actually do could cause you problems if you make a claim - even if it's only a very small difference in premium. So if in doubt, answer "no".0
