Hi all
Does anybody know if the factory-fit alarm on a 2013 XS is Thatcham rated, and if so to what category? Cheers My Disco 'best bits' Defender 110 XS CSW 2013 |

Standard Alarm can be upgraded... means you keep the standard LR fob (or I can do you an all in one key). http://www.mobilecentre.co.uk/index.php?ma...cts_id=637 Ian IRB The home of the first modified Keswick Green 90 - and the first 2.4 Puma through both the 200bhp and 550Nm barriers. www.IRBdevelopments.com www.facebook.com/irbdevelopments www.integrated316.com www.facebook.com/integrated316 |

I reckon Perimeter protection are the door/bonnet contacts, so it would be okay on that basis.
I don't know enough about the immobiliser in terms of circuit/ecu isolation so not sure if it falls down there but I can't see Thatcham approving an alarm system where traditionally (assuming MY13 no different) , they locate the audible element in an area that is not even partially protected by the alarm zones Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless. |

Probably the fact that a badger with a blunted spoon can bypass it and steal the doors/bonnet/whole thing without anyone hearing!  |

party monkey - the immobiliser is fine, that's why its CAT 2 - as far as Thatcham are concerned all it has is an immobiliser. If it had a decent alarm as well it would qualify as CAT 1.
Just wondering if alarm was classified on the basis that the battery back up was not standard issue untll MY 11 onwards. Diesel jim - are the battery back up alarms not "badger proof"? |

Disconnect the battery and see if the alarm goes off (make sure you have your radio code)
I do believe from MY 12 onwards (2.2 TDCi) they were standard issue |

Battery back up was a cost option but standard IIRC on XS spec not sure about MY2013
Even with battery back up LR would still have to submit it to Thatcham for testing and approval before the insurance company recognised it. |

But you can add a 3rd party rechargeable battery sounder to the car electrics that sounds off if the battery is disconnected. In fact you could add more than one in different positions.
