Petrol Light

[Anonymous]

It's trying to get someone to fit it, which is the problem, the guy who I'm buying it off says that most people fit it themselves   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:   , but luckily I have a friend who is a fully trained alarm fitter. The alarm cost £130 including shipping and the extra motion sensors.

A company called 'CHAMELEON' quoted me just over £100.

Just under £200 imported from the US including Tax, import duty and shipping.

Shipping to the uk was quoted at ($69)

So I assume that the doors are locked, and if anybody did get in, by slitting the roof or whatever, they couldn't actually drive it until the key was put in. Am I right?

Some will operate like a turbo timer - they are hooked up to the handbrake signal, so the car will only run without the keys while the handbrake is on - drop the handbrake to drive off and the engine dies.

Some are not like that, however..  s:) s:)

Re: leaving the car running - it is technically an offence to have the engine running when you are not in the drivers seat as you are not in control of the vehicle - I've heard of people being done for that!  And as said above, insurance companies WON'T pay out for an insecure unattended vehicle where the keys were left in/on it, nevermind if the engine is actually running!!!
