Alarms or Immobilisers

[lottie_s 10]

I can only afford to get one or the other which is most beneficial seeming as i had my car stolen last friday?

Why only one or the other?

 

Maplins do an alarm/immobiliser for about £40 if you want a cheap combined one The Toad Cat1 is good for £110 of ebay

 

Both DIY fit.

 

You can get a Cat2 Immobiliser of ebay for about £30 too. DIY fit again.

 

Disklok is also a worthwhile immobilser for £80

remember though that if you fit it yourself there might be a problem as insurance companies want to see a certificate issued by an accredited auto 'trician..i know mine did

I bought a shock and sensor alarm from Halfords on Friday however i had to take it back becuase it was too difficult for me to fit. Does anyone know a place in Sheffield i can take it to.

What make was it?

[lottie_s 10]

it was a sparkrite one - iv got an appointment at a garage on tuesday they are gunna fit me an immobiliser for 79 pounds thats the best offer i can get

[DaveD 10]

sounds about right but make sure it is thatcham 2 and you get a certificate ..your insurance company might need it

[Skatiechik 10]

As Dave says if you are paying that much money for someone to fit it. Then make sure the immobiliser is CAT2 and they are a certified fitter so able to give you a certificate.

[lottie_s 10]

yeah it is a CAT 2 and they will be giving me a certificate.

 

thanks

[lottie_s 10]

yay got the immobiliser fitted and got an insurance certificate with it (a happy customer) thanks to technicar on abbeydale road

 

hoping to get an alarm next

[Skatiechik 10]

It would have been more cost effective to get a combined one

[lottie_s 10]

yeah but i needed some sort of security asap as i got my car stolen a week ago and could afford both as i am a full time student
