Re: Basic van intruder alarms
This is a hard one buddy as people really dont want to post up there security arrangements on a public forum so if you don't get many replies don't think we're all miserable unhelpful feckers its just that a fair few of these vans go missing as they're generally worth more in bits, you cant put a price on security i really value my van so its well protected.
I'm in my own lill world but its ok cos everyone here knows me !

Re: Basic van intruder alarms
there's a kit from maplins aboout twenty quid and if you fit or have central locking you can also get a remote activator which will set the alarm and lock the doors. My brother in law just had a big switch on the live lead from his battery in a discrete place- that follows happy camper's point about just making sure it's not easy to start imho maplins link here http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?cri ... &source=15" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
