I have been insured with Privilege, Admiral, Elephant, Flux, Sky, Chris Knott ... I am not aware of any insurers refusing to quote because I don't have an alarm.
If you do a search on here on +H&P +Problems there are 16 pages of results. I remember this one in particular, post #11.
I don't recall hearing any issues about the factory alarm fitted to the 04+ cars.

In your case you'll certainly have been asked whether or not the car has a Cat 1 alarm or not and will have been charged accordingly.
No doubt the 2004+ alarm is much better, probably because it's one system, rather than one piggybacked on another.
All that doesn't change the fact that for most people, the alarm has worked fine. It's the usual "People only post when they have a problem" syndrome - see under 2008 engines for a similar example.

(The cars came out of the factory with an immobilizer built into the ECU and had central locking that worked flawlessly)
So no recommended alternatives?

UPDATE:
Drove the car over 7 days and many miles in Northern Ireland with NO further issues.
So anyone readying this thread in future - I can confirm replacing the board has solved my issue.
Good and Happy motoring everyone.
