Im going the immobiliser way - just because it arms itself after 30 seconds - saves me (or the lovely wife) forgetting to turn a switch thats hard to get to - so in turn wont be turned when it should be.

Im actually fitting it myself - my insurance hasnt asked and also, these things are prone to go wrong some times and i want to be able to disarm it myself.

Cost me £30 on fleabay....

Cruz,

Think as well as all some of the good suggestions here, you should also fit a well visable steering wheel lock too.

Having an elebrate system of course is all well and good hopefully in keeping your wheels, but if it's not obvious from the outside that it has one, then you may still end up with forced entry.

At least with a visable steering/crooklock, they might think twice that it won't be that easy? :roll:

Basically have both if you can! :wink:
Cheers.

I've always had a crook lock on.

Certainly food for thought, though I'll need to save some pennies for the Toad alarm

Selca Immobilisers are good kit.

90% of immobilisers claim to be Thatcham category 2 but in reality are only cat 2 if fitted by a Thatcham approved agent. There are rules like where the unit is situated and how many panels you need to remove to get at the unit. Also what circuits are imobilised and where in the circuit the break is made and how the joins are made.
