Hi newbie here,
Can anyone advise me on a simple and cheap alarm that you can just plonk on the dash, wire up with a couple of wires, arm and leave and actually works..........or am i wishing for too much....Thanks

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.

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
