Question Security Advice...

Afternoon all,

I am a paranoid man when it comes to security. I have a V5 type r and on it I have, immobiliser, alarm, snap off wheel and a tracker.

Is there anything else I can do? I have secured my house as much as possible too with angry animals and vairous weapons (legal, obviously)

Is there anything else you can think of?

Someone has advised me there is a master fuse I can take out? If there is , which is it, and wont it just knock off my alarm/immobiliser if I do take it off?!

Any ideas, much appreciated...

p.s. I have looked into land mines, turns out the council frowns upon that sort of 'security feature'

I,d advise you to get a Clifford Blackjax fitted. This stops the engine of the car after a few hundred yards even if the thieves have your keys. I bought one of Ebay for about £90 and had it fitted by a Clifford installer for £70. Steve.

What more could you possibly want ,as with the devices you have fitted there are only 2 ways they can take your car ??.
1. is they break into your house and take your keys,in which case you call the tracker company ,who contact the police and hopefully locate it before they discard the tracker.
2. They come along and lift it onto a low loader and drive off,in which case you do the same as above. . You cant hot wire/scaff these cars anymore

IMHO ,Stop worrying about someone taking it ,as you have done as much as you possibly can to protect your car, and maybe go see your Dr about getting something for your nerves lol
I have a sigma S30 fitted to mine and a steering wheel disclock,+ std immobiliser and have no worries as even if they take the keys ,it requires the 4 digit pin to start the car.

Nope, once you're in and the doors are shut you punch in the code and you're good to go, if you open the drivers door you have to do the code again..............otherwise all hell breaks loose.......
