Car alarms...
on: April 09, 2008, 22:30:26 PM
Looking to get a Thatcham Cat1 alarm for my little rallye, wondering if anyone knew any good places?

I found this: http://www.directcarparts.co.uk/buy-car-accessories/toad-sterling-alarm-system-thatcham-p-18336.html

It seems a good price, ebay seems a lot more expensive.

This is what me and my brother have got:

Best alarm by far, I know its pricey and up market but, it all depends what your willing to pay, for how good it is. The installation lad who comes around is spot on, pleasant, polite , will ensure every feature is working and then demonstrates it for you. He will set it up exactly how you want it, top nortch company :)

Do you know a good place to get one of those alarms?

Gav, that alarm is good but it is a lot of money...

the 996 has been replaced with (i think) 212 or somerthing - theyre the same money on ebay

Fitting an alarm is so easy you wonder why professional installers (Who make an absolute hash job of it in 9 cases out of 10) charge up to £300

you have to splice into the ignition lock, run wires for the detectors, put the ECU somewhere appropriate (And earthed properly), run wires to the sounder (I suggest well hidden as you can unplug them and put them in water to disable), the central locking ECU if you have one, and you then immobilise either your ignition circuit or ECU and fuel pump. Total time - about 3 hours, or 4 hours super tidy

Would you recommend getting that?

And if I drove down and put say £25 would you install it for me ?

Would it be a problem to hook it up with my current keypad immobiliser? (factory fitted)

NI is a bit far to come to get an alarm fitted!

The immobiliser on that would be better, but you could use both I suppose

I thought you lived in Yorkshire or somewhere in the midlands?

I suppose I could have a go...
