yar, the big car parts/car audio place on the junction of newmarket road and east road in central cambridge.

they can do some sort of alarm inspection thing and provide a certificate. well, they could when i had a similar issue a while back.

um, think the shop is called 'discount auto parts' but i wouldn't bet too much on that!

this is the car audio bit of the shop anyway:

failing that, give GAP a ring 0800 783 2165
they did my concept 650 install in cambridge so i am sure they could help or advise at least :)

yeah it was A1/discount auto parts who did that for me many moons ago when i had i similar problem on a series one escort rs turbo  :smiley:

Have you been asked to send a copy of your instalation cert then? usually they only ask you to produce it if the car gets stolen (so obviously you will still wanna get one).

as long as they can write you out a cert or something confirming that the alarm is thatcham approved it should be fine, let me know if you have any problems though
