Club 80-90 Forums

I bought my Syncro nearly a year ago and having chucked money and time at it I'm starting to wonder how long it's going to be before someone nicks it?

I can't afford an immobilizer but want to make sure it's as hard as possible for anyone to take. What are the best measures to take?
wheel clamps are a bit ott, steering wheel locks? nifty wiring or a hidden cut off for the fuel line?

any ideas please? the more ingenious the better

Difficult to give advice on this on an open forum, as I was reminded when I suggested a tips guide a while ago.
You will have pm shortly!

Drive it every day.
If you leave anything stationary for more than 24 hours around here things tend to dissapear.

You have PM.

Thanks for the PM's and hot tips Airhead and Meggles

... and lhd- once it's MOT'd it will be in daily service for sure.

Thanks Syncro G for the comprehensive information

my mate wired the ignition to his ashtray in his capri, so the car would only run if the ashtray was closed, everytime he parked he simply opened the ashtray.

I've got (now working) central locking on my cara. Would love to have remote locking with alarm/immobiliser. Anyone done this? Expensive? DIY'able? Suggestions?

Sell it!

What happened if his mate put a sweettie wrapper in the ashtray as they were whoning along some A road?

Amazing! How can they sell that for £15 & built in the EU.

Anyone fitted something like this? Is it straight forward or a total nightmare?
