OH NO

Renault Clio (1991-98): Thieves love the Clio: the locks are poor; the alarm can easily be silenced; and it’s possible to wrench the doors open.

 

[Rick]

Yep. Thats why Ive got a disklock on mine. The door locks are rubbish.

 

[Ben H]

Who says that?

OK, so its true (gulp!) but it applies to loads of cars, including the 106, Saxo, Corsa etc etc.

 

[LivinLegend]

i had my car broken in to on my drive, the were in and out so fast. the locks are sh*t!!!

 

[CocoPops]

this any improved on the 98 - 01 or 01 - present cars?

 

[Daz]

Thats why you get a good alarm to give them something extra to think about.

 

[Phil 99]

think so, as least most mk1s have an immobilser. not much use for ur ice etc ;(((

 

[Mack]

Dont know if the older clios have it but my facelift phase 3 has a very good immobiliser (cuts in after 1 minute of front door being opened)

Didnt I read somewhere about them being able to remove the rear centre brake light on Phase 3s and access the boot that way?

Waiting while my alloys were getting fitted i could here a car staring and stopping, knew it was mine. Had to go out and tell the bloke.

 

[Tom_16v]

Thats why I have a Clifford on mine.

 

[Smokey]

I dont have a clifford yet but when i do im getting some Toad window stickers!!

So when they see the Toad stickers they will be expecting a toad alarm and when its not they will be buggered as alot of thieves try to find out the make then they can use the net to find how to disable them!!

The element of suprise!!

back to the security issue, thats why ive got a cat 1 & a disklock.
