As title really, am buying a 1998 R Impreza Sport. Anyone know the make and model of alarm / immobiliser it comes with, and whether it's insurance approved?
(I'm guessing it's a transponder key jobbie)

Mike, it is a factory fitted imobiliser. (iaw manual)
No additional alarm.

Immobiliser
must have insurance approval of some description.
Alarm
When obtaining a quote for me; they have never stipulated that an alarm has to be fitted, unlike to insure a turbo.
If you add an alarm yourself, i dont know if any insurers would nock much/if any off.
You can get some cheapish cat 1's for your own peace of mind.

You forget I'm living in Swansea - the car crime capital of Britain ;)

According to the Tesco insurance website it needs an alarm/immobiliser to be insured, so just wondered if the existing one is on their list.

Mine has a Cobra imobiliser built in and ive added a cobra alarm to make it a cat 1 system...


98 UK Turbo

Well phoned Tesco today to arrange the transfer and they didn't mention it needing anything extra :)
Am having a Clifford Cat 1 fitted anyway for peace of mind, but at least it means I'm insured anyway.

When I did my 98 sport the Tesco web site said I needed it but when I transfered the insurance over on the phone I asked bloke and he checked with his manager who said it wasnt required.
