tbh I dont think the viper kit is worth the money, 200 quid for a filter and a bit of flex tube..... imo not worth it as our cars are rear engine and I believe these are pretty much made for Front engine cars unless you place the Flexy tube outside or in an area where you can 'scoop' air in. I belie...

Re: Help needed on alarm vs insurance issue

Just a quick update to finalise, The alarm system turned out to be a Philips 403, going to get a garage to check if it is immobiliser/alarm or not, if so just a quick letter from garage to say its all ok and insurance will be coverd.
So once again thanks to everyone who replied :thumleft:
