Hi there,

Just wondered what alarm/immobiliser systems peeps would recommend.


Cheers

absolutely anything by Clifford Alarms, also make sure what you buy is Thatcham rated, you`re insurance company might like it, and lower your insurance.

ive got a clifford concept 300 alarm/immobiliser in mine, very very good system, recommend it

[Pippy]

Cheers for that Madmax - I'll have a look at that one.

I think you have to have it fitted by an alarms company to get it recognised by the insurance company.
If your skint you could just do basic stuff like hide a switch on the ignition live somewhere or put a battery cut out in etc...

yeh mine was fitted by clifford, even though CIS who insure the car, dont care about the alarm, lol

I'll have to get one of the one's that my hubby has on his Dodge Charger.
It says 'please step away from the vehicle' in a really cheesy armerican accent.. :cheese:

Seriously guys - thanks for the suggestions

Cheers

a lad round here has a modded 106 he has a clifford alarm with all the extras, self open doors and the engine starts for him and stuff, pretty sexy stuff

[Pippy]

Blimey self open doors!!
Knowing my luck I'd do it in a car park and swipe some one elses car!!

[nathy_t]

when i say self openiing i think he has smoothed handles (no door handles) and they sort of just pop out!!!

If its a thatchcam alarm it has to be fitted by an approved installer. I'm not a great fan of off the shelf security as the car theives usually fit these for a living or have in the past or they know someone who does. Iam a big fan of homemade systems after all if its not production and its not factory fit there's only one person who knows how it works! I had a production alarm and immobilser on mine and when it was nicked it turned up just around the corner, they never got it started although when i disabled the extra homemade immoblizer it started first touch. Further inspection revealed that they'd ripped out the alarm and crossed a few wires over to try and get round it!

being skint and not being able to afford an alarm/immobiliser, i take the king lead off the coil/dizzy cap if i go anywhere where i'm leaving it for a while - not many thieves carry HT leads around with them..........
