Can anyone recommend a good tracker, alarm and immobiliser setup. Don't want a fancy alarm, just something what will fry anyone who tries to steal the it. :D
Also what are your views on buying a wheel clamp?? Can they be fitted to large wheels?? (stupid question i guess, but i aint ever been clamped)
I'm just concerned at the amount of landrovers that are being stolen, dont want mine to become a statistic.

fit a BIG battery isolator (ie for a winch) inline for the supply cable to the battery,them might break in but its no gonna go anywhere

Yeah thats also a "must" on my shopping list.
But ive heard people are using flat bed lorries with an hydraulic arm to just lift the vehicle onto the flat bed and drive it away.
So a tracker is also a must.

TBH i wouldnt bother with a tracker on a 90,BUT thats just my opinion,where i stay its in a fairly lively area (twocers) & im in a culdesac,u have to think about it from a thiefs point o view,what can they use to steal it & how can you make it difficult,
if i see you on sun can talk through some wee tricks aswell to stop/slow down a thief

good one for a petrol engine have a two way switch very heavy duty one. Switch it one way to start the car switch it the ohter way and when the little **** starts the truck up he gets the coil voltage up this arm and on any other part that is touching metal :lol: :shock: . you wire the steering wheel to the coil and make sure its not earted so when he grips it and touches ground he make the circuit and yes it dos hurt :lol:

The Audi has a Microscan AN500 installed with Microwave sensor module and a siren that feels like someone is boring through your skull. Its also tied into the central locking and windows but thats of no interest on a 90 (although 30 will get you motors to enable it :) ) This is wired to a relay box under the dash that breaks the positive feed to the coil, signal return from the crankshaft sensor, starter circuit and ecu 'ignition' supply.
This has saved the car from trouble more than a few times and the 'pips' when someone gets too close puts most off. Also scares the crap out of them that get too close when parking, giving them tyhe impression they hit you when they just got real close.
RAC Trackstar Sat-Tracker fitted which seems to be ok, having never used it I cant say how well it works but when it was tested they did find the car quite fast :)

:D ive got the new intelsat clifford950 fitted on my disco along with all the mod cons comes with blackjack anti hijacking system remote engine start tilt and motion sensors and proximity sensors with smart sim remote start ...you can text your vehicle to start charge batteries run for a set period of your choice ..all expensive but they do great systems of difering levels have a look here..http://www.gapsecurity.co.ukalong with this system i have added some of my own for peace of mind

even with best security systems in the world, if they want it, and know what they are doing they`ll get it.
best thing is to think logical:
1. park safley - if you park in the gloom of a netto car park on a council estate for 3 weeks, chances are the scrotes will sniff it out! somewhere well lit, and fairly busy, mines on the side of the main road and while a lot of people get to see it, but it makes it harder for anyone to spend time been dodgy near it without arousing suspicion. its also right below my bedroom window (which has been shut 3 times in 5 years.. due to rain and snow settling on bed!)
2. hide owt worth nicking - mobile phone, cash, even a pack of fags may seem like a suitable reward for scratbag breaking your window, or tearing through your lock, if he cant see owt, less likely to chance it.
3. make it difficult - if theres more than one car in the household use them to create "awkward parking situations" if it takes a theif twice as long to get off and away, its twice the chance of him/her been caught. but dont get too elaborate, if its too difficult, you`ll not bother with it.
4. extras - disclocks are good, so are lock protectors (guards to stiffen the lock area of the door) the more the merrier!
5. rabid rottweiler - if its a grumpy/unfed one its even more efficient, just have a can of winalot handy in the morning! :lol:
