Mini Super
1967 (some bodyshell later)
Having recently had my previous car stolen, and about to get my mini on the road for the first time, I am looking to equip it with a security system. Could someone recommend a retrofit central locking system, alarm/immobiliser and tracker. I don’t want to spend the earth, but I do want it to be reliable and robust!

Most of the shell around the doors (and doors) are modern 1980-1990

Thanking you in advance!

Very cheep yet efective security measure!!!! I fitted an electric fuel pump and wired it through a ( secret ) switch hiden in the car. wont go more than a mile if someone nicks it. I tend to switch the pump off when i stop and let the engine run down for 30-40 secs before i turn it off. now it wont go more than 100 yds.

Yeah, I considered that one (wiring doesn’t bother me!). In fact, I will do that tomorrow and perhaps look at future solutions also.

I know hate is a strong word, but I hate thieving little

Nope Hate is never to strong a word for these scum.

If your still looking for an alarm system Hawk Car Alarms on fleabay do quite a good range and are all quite cheap. Check them out Hawk Alarms

Minispares sell an alarm/immboliser, and you can also add on central locking and electric windows if you so choose.

ive just bought the alarm, and going to buy the central locking in a few weeks time, i think trackers are quite expensive though, as i thought about one, but was put off by the price at this moment in time

The alarm also has a shock sensor, and can be programmed to operate a boot popper, and a remote engine start

buy a cheap phone and buy traking on it its only about £25 and as long as the phone has charge (even if its off) you can log on to the computerand find the phones location so just hide the phone in your car
