Had this same problem with Tesco when I first bought mine last october. Also Seat can't now state what they were fitted with thatcham rating wise.

Visited the Thatcham website got code and rang them back, they kept saying that its not an Ibiza though its an Ibiza Cupra, and they didn't know the difference between the Mk4 manufacturer dates and Mk3s or that the cupra had same Cat 2 immobiliser as it was still an ibiza.
Then rang thatcham directly and they kept saying the same as Tesco.

Tesco wouldn't accept it and I couldn't be bothered to keep chasing it so for the 3 months left on the policy I kept it in the garage. Needless to say I didn't reinsure it with them come renewal time in january.

Absolute bunch of useless idiots. (sorry to anyone that works there)

Now with Adrian Flux who walked all over Tescos and others insurers prices.

it cant be a one off alex as when i phoned seat up to find out about it the first thing i got asked was if the info was needed for tesco apparently there about the only ones that insist on this, but there price was very good, im 23 with 3 years no claims it cost me £540 fully comp, norwich union wanted nearly £1000 for my renual, even so i still think tescos are bunch of numptys. and im not sorry for anyone that works there.

tesco wouldnt believe me either.......ended up getting the number from the thatcham website and qouted it to them, they took my word as gospel and adjusted my insurance policy.
