What works best? :scratch:
I have an alarm & a steering wheel lock. But im still not 100% happy with just that.
Anyone use anything else such as a fuel cut off switch? or a batt cut off switch?

Immobiliser, snap off steering wheel, battery cut, hidden push start button.. :scratch: Can't think of any more.

A decent alarm/immobiliser & steering wheel lock i.e disclock will keep the chavs away.

I just hate wiring on these cars!!!

H.T - leads = Good idea no scrote will want to open the bonnett whilst the alarm is going off!

put a switch in the orange wire(i think)for the fuel relay and then of course hide it!

So true. I mean, only way you could REALLY stop someone from stealing it would be to park it in a casino vault. But even still, the Oceans 11 lot will get it :crap:

I have a clifford 500 and a tracker but would still like more security :agree: A friend of mine is a clamper so i have a perminant loan of a clamp if its sat for a period of time, Although not alot stops it getting lifted onto a flatbed :(

An awkward, sloped driveway stops it getting onto a flatbed. I can hardly get my motor on and off the drive, let alone anyone else, crane or no crane.

A well thought out DIY immobiliser has to be the best way to secure the car. I don't think it's a good move to list them here lads. If people have good ideas, share them via PM please.

ground anchors are good too, just buy a good un , trackers are ace but exspensive, i use a chain through the steerin wheel twice an hook it around the cage..:), security posts are good , behind a garage door, err theres heaps of stuff out there , i also use a clutch claw that i got cheap off the web.

£50 a month seems quite cheap to me.

a handy little one is to take the wheels off, and the engine out. Nice and simple!
