thought i would show you all my new security device for my 182.the only downside was having to dig the hole 4ft deep in solid chalk

is your area that rough then?

 

[Dan##]

just dont forget its there when you leave in a hurry!

I hope they can not drive it forward and around the post? I saw this once, it was easy to nick the car just drive over the garden.

the only way they could drive it forward would be to drive into my house

Hey you never know! Just dont leave the key to post lock in the porch they may be tempted!

Sadly from my experience people are more likely to just mindlessly damage a car parked on the driveway than actually steal it. It doesnt help that my house sits on a route between the pubs and the majority of the residential area though.

I want one of these. How much do they cost and where from?

Personally, Id want a fold down one if possible.

i would so reverse into that on the 1st day!

random fact...people are most likely do damage their own cars within 50ft of their house/drive..its where they pay least attention

 

[Liam]

why not just use a disklok, thats what I do, and it can be safe anywhere then?

mind you, they cant be nicked without the keys anyway... more of a visual thing for would be theifs.

 

[unofficialPete]

doesnt it take a half decent car theif 4 seonds to remove a steering lock?!

There are many different "steering locks" all are batter than nothing at all and the disklok is very difficult to remove.

As for security Renault use ringed ignitions with chips in keys, and decoding systems to look ECUs. It wont get stoled, just damaged if unlucky.

i agree but just adds that visual aspect to the car, if they bother to put that thing on no point breaking in to snoop around. (maybe)

alot of cars now get lifted on to low loaders... they work on em elsewhere.. thats why clifford now do the tilt and motion sensors on their cat1s... and for the alloys of course.

 

[Liam]

any news if the tilt sensor can be added to the renault cat 1 system, i know renault do it as an option on the meganes and they use the same alarm?



also why do i get " <SCRIPT language=javascript> " at the end of the posts?

The rac tracker would solve that problem and can be easily fitted to your 182s, as soon as its moved without the keys the tracker is activated. It wont stop somebody stealing your car but it will help you get it back.

I have a disklok and mul-t-lok but want one of these as well.

Cheers for the info Steve

(I know they can just break in and steal keys etc)
