My parts car (UK spec) had alarm, worked really well.
New one (ex singapore
) doesnt have such a thing, the insurance company decided to hike my premium as a result.What parts will need swapping and will it be a simple plug and play, so to speak?

Retrofitting Xantia Alarm
Hi all, just wondering, can the alarm be swapped between vehicles?

You'll probably find the complete wiring looms are different between alarm equipped models and those without, not to mention usually built in PSA alarms are annoying and to be blunt not terribly reliable.
A decent (professionally fitted, so you can show the details to your insurance people) aftermarket unit will be far superior and could be made easily enough to operate the central locking if required.
