Can anyone tell me the best Mechanical Immobiliser to go for? What's the Barrier Deadlock like on the SIDC site?

Oh yeah, and what **** does "LOL" mean?

 

LOL - Laugh out Loud.

Barrier has had some good write ups. I understand there are two versions. I'm told the cheaper one can be removed much quicker than the full blown, weld in one.

Does anyone know where the fuse is for the fuel pump??

I used to remove that fuse on my Calibra - it was very simple as the fuse was at knee height behind a cover - the effect, of course is to allow the cars engine to run for a few seconds then stall ...... was always a great immobiliser I thought and pretty cheap!!

I've got Barrier Deadlock fitted, weld in type. Its unobtrusive and easy to use but it isn't obvious to the casual thief that its fitted. He only finds out when he tries to move the car. Other than that, top marks from me.

 

Kippax,

I had a barrier deadlock fitted after my last Scooby was stolen
Mine is the weld on version - much harder to remove. I posted on here when mine got stolen, and this appears to be the best mechanical anti-theft device.

Thanks, I'll get a welded one.

IMHO It's OK to LOL with a PPP on an MY99 running SUL.

Have got the hang of it now?

 

 

Well done Pete, That's that option now out the window isn't it.

 

I use a combination of a DiscLok for the steering wheel and a wheel clamp. Both sourced from Halfords. It would require a fairly determined thief to bother getting that lot off as well as getting round the alarm and immobiliser. Both are a bit of a pain to use to start with but worth perservering with. I normally start the car first and then take them both off while the car warms up a bit. When I get some dosh together I'll get a Deadlock as well. Call me paranoid, but having previously had 2 cars stolen/recovered I don't want to go through that nightmare again. AFAIC, you can't have too many security measures.

 

AFAIC.....belter.

Its APITA putting all those mechanical devices on though. IMR have one decent one. ITRWI, they'll jack it.

 

Best thing to do is remove HT leads to spark plugs, that will stop them starting it. If car parked on drive get a wheel clamp, caravan showrooms sell them....
