I've just changed insurance company to Greenlight, and they say that according to their computer, the Ibiza GTi 16v didn't come with a factory fitted alarm & immobiliser until 1999.

My 1998 Ibiza did, so I was just wandering about others peoples', because I've now got to get a letter stating that it has got a category 2 immob. from somewhere. I'm hoping that Richardsons (where I bought the car) will give me a letter, but I'm waiting for a call back at the mo.

I know mine is not a 16v and it was first registered in March '99 but I would expect the factory immob on my car is the same as what you have mate.

When I first got the car no one would insure it with the factory immob and I had to get a cat 1 alarm and immob fitted before they would even concider insuring the motor.

They say that the factory fitted one is alright for me, but that my car didn't have one fitted at the factory!

Anyone else with a pre 1999 gti/cupra?
