Can anyone out there help me please, i purchased a new 55 plate ZR trophy:) only i am stuck with a problem regarding the alarm system. When i bought it from a 'reputable' dealership they assured me it had a catagory 1 thatcham alarm, as indicated in the spec on the MG website. i recently took it to an independent alarm shop, following a day where it went off 3 times on its own for no other reason than the wind,who told me it was only a catagory 2. What should it have and how do i tell what it should have, as if it is less than it should be i need to sort it out with the dealership. Also does anybody know how i can get a proof of fitting for my insurance, as the dealer told me it was in the handbook, which i have gone over cover to cover with no signs. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Can't help with which category is fitted to your car but this link will show you the differences [url]http://www.thatcham.org/security/index.jsp?page=75&c=cat1[/url] Cat 1 seems to require perimeter protection and battery backup which is why the TF is a Cat 2. Most insurers will accept that the category is as per manufacturers spec. if it was a standard fitment. If it was an optional extra you should have receipt for the extra which should quote Make/Model etc.
