the deadlock on my old corsa had broken so me and (flybikes)lee decided to fix it. however when we took it apart we found there was a little yellow connector broken too, so that when you engaged the deadlock it wouldn't disengage, we managed to break in once with the help of the RAC, the second time we tried everything and ended up smashing a window :o i laugh about it now but it was heartbreaking at the time :lol:

bloody badgers aint they! if its a constent (sp) occurance, worth getting a video camera or something?

The dead lock on mine works but never gets used as i use the remote to lock it not the key, Ive just got one of those cheap(ish) 2 way alarms off ebay, if im within about half a mile from the car and anyone has ago at the car my keyfob bleeps,and if they actually manage to open the door it beeps alot more lol. Imo its one of the best types of alarm to have as most car criminals arnt that bothered if the alarm is going off if they think the car owner cant hear it. I pretty much always have my keys close to me and usually within half a mile from my car. you can also put the alarm on silent mode where the car alarm doesnt actually make any noise but my key fob still bleeps,so i can quietly top toe up behind anyone breaking into my car and they will be non the wiser :)

I was a bit aprahesive fitting a chinese alarm with chinese converted instructions but it was actually quite easy to do. and been using my alarm 6 months now with out single problem :)

Do any of the later Bs come with deadlocks?

Or Could Astra/Vectra Deadlocks be fitted?

Mothers N Plate astra has been done on both doors a couple times but they havent set foot in the car due to dead locks.

window film will help but wont stop them if there trying to wedge the door open.

Yeah get a Clifford or Toad cat 1 alarm, but why not invest in security film for the windows? For the amount it costs, it's a bargain really.

sounds good, what do you mean by security film?? Window tints??

---

Security film is like a clear tint sheet that stops the glass being broken through. It shatters but stays in place.

In theory.

Alarm is an alarm imo. It makes a sound to alert you to crime towards your car. They all do that.

Clifford Cat 1 are fairly cheap nowerdays.

Some mug tried breaking into my car last night, luckily they didnt get in! But mashed my lock cylinder and pulled my scraper seal right out, exactly the same on passenger side! Does anyone know a relatively good alarm system that doesnt cost mega bucks??:thumbs:
