The gearbox lock system is very secure, based on all the reports.
The best system i have come up with i fitted to my rally car a few years ago, dead simple but needed a new section of wiring loom to be spliced in. It basically junked all the original ignition electrics, i wired it so two switches on the dash which used to control a fog light and a heated rear window had to be pushed together at the same time as turning the key. It totally confused some scum who had a go at knicking it, they pushed the car 150 yards from my house and ended up ripping half the dash out, but still couldn't knick it, saved me a fortune. I thought the idea of a baby moniotor was genious, cheap but effective. |

The baby alarm is a truly wonderful idea. Hidden in the glovebox, you here them break in... call the police and if you are very lucky they arrive before your car leaves Great idea Dave |
Isolator switch (hidden of course) on the fuel pump.
Or just take the fuse out when you leave the car... |
I agree the baby alarm could work quite well.
An isolator switch is always a brilliant way of beating car thieves. Do you know of any companies who will fit such a swtich where you specify? Would this invalidate the warranty? A decent wheel clamp would be a good deterrent but is too inconvienient. |

Any competent & trusted auto-electrician should be able to do the job. Not sure about warranty - though I would expect not. |

Don't accept the first offer, make a case as to why yours is worth more - mileage, condition etc. |

i have a tracker and as far as im aware there not easy to find, they could be fitted any where in the car and dont you have more than 1 sensor. i have now bought a disclock for when i go to away matches in football as it seems most crime is up north or in the midlands |

On the security side, when my car arrives in March/April, I am seriously considering having a gearbox lock fitted which locks the car in reverse, and would welcome any comments/suggestions relating to their effectiveness (and sources for fitting in the Birmingham/Worcester area). Interactive tracker is a 100% you can phone your car up and turn it off, and put brakes on ... Or u can go the nasty way ...but it illegal ... i know some 1 that is thinking of importing some ... they are a steering wheel locks ... but act like stun gun ... give u a wallop of 50000 voults made by taser... not illegal to sell them ...but it is illegal too use them ... |
Caught a couple out though..... :D
