Cheers ak ! It looks like the 850T is a good alarm from the sounds of it, I will be going for that I think.

Will do Mav, I will most likely be getting the Toad 850T. I just want a system that will do the job as desmondo has described, remote window closure would be good too but it is not essential for me. The alarm is for piece of mind more than anything as I am already insured without it.

That sounds good to me, I think I will go for that. I was tempted to go without an alarm but I think you have to have one in the present day. There have been problems with not being able to find a place to put it in the 172 engine bay, any such problems ? Are all the wires hidden ...

I thought the colour would get your approval GR ! I have to admit that I have noticed the heads turning !

Just one more quick question, what is actually involved in the installation of the alarm ? I would imagine that panels need to be removed inside the car and everything to run wires, I dunno why but that bothers me in a brand new car !

desmondo, had you heard any problems before you bought yours ? Does it simply arm itself when you close the doors and disarm when you open them ? All this being done thru the standard Renault Key button ?

Hi Mav, S4C.com were very very good indeed, no problems at all and the collection process went very smoothly indeed ! I love the car ! I dont know what to do about an alarm now, I dunno what to do. The price for the Toad seems to be the best as Renault have quoted me around £300 like you...

Just been on the phone to another place now and they have offered me a Meta M750/3 for £250, this will upgrade it to a Thatcham 1. Anybody know anything about these ? If anybody has the Toad 850T then please could you let me know if you have had problems with it and if you rate it or not ...

Just spoke to Sextons and they have the Toad upgrade model, 850T2, which is £250 but he said that he had to warn me that they have had problems with the reliability of these alarms ? This will work off the original key fob. He then offered me another Toad seperate alarm which needs a new fob...

Oh right ! S**t, I thought you meant that the car went downhill in your estimations ! DOH ! ha ha ! I can see me doing the same, I just really want to go for it but I am being good so far, travelled back 250 miles yesterday with the revs between 3000 and 3500rpm all the way ! It was...

JJ, that is what I plan on doing, run it in for 650 and then steadily increase to 1000 miles and then go for it ! What do you mean it was downhill from then ? Do you mean it was not fast ? What are you saying ?

Sextons are getting a quote for a Toad for me but I have also seen Sigma alarms being talked about, are these any good ? What sort of price will I be looking at do you think ?

That must be it then, I was not worried really but my mum noticed it, I just think she was trying to pick holes in it because I think I scared her when I took her out for a spin, I was keeping below 3500rpm too, ha ha !
