Cheers!

I wonder what they'll do next if they fit the new alarm and I still have the same problems? :lol:

good luck mate keep us all updated

my mates an installer and he reckons clifford installers are trained to the highest standard....we shall see soon :P

Another update... this morning I wrote an email to Clifford asking them why their alarm is not working on the Astra, and I just had a phone call from Hyde Park Corner (the company who sent out the mobile fitter), apparently they are going to send out a "senior fitter" next week to remove my existing alarm and install another brand new Concept 300. The saga continues...

Out of interest, is it only limited to the 300 or does the 600 also have reported problems?

OK... the alarm guy was at work yesterday from about 4.45pm-5.45pm, he plugged in his laptop to the alarm ECU thing, and the codes came up as basically one or both of the doors have been opened, which is why the alarm was triggered off.

He didn't actually have a clue what is wrong with it, so I'm going to phone Clifford today and see what they have to say about it.

The alarm guy said if it goes off again the only thing he can do is change the alarm ECU, as he checked/tested everything else, and there was "no fault found"... :rolleyes:

halfords/ripspeed/AA centre couldnt even fit my back box properly :o lazy twats

I think if it's still not sorted after today I might go to a proper Clifford dealer round here and just pay to get it fixed properly, and perhaps write one of my special letter of complaint to Clifford about Hyde Park Corner.

It does seem to me that this installer keeps trying to make out that I'm thick and I don't know how to use an alarm key fob or something. He'll probably tell me I set my alarm off in my sleep next! :rolleyes:

don't buy from halfords mate.
halfords overcharge and undercut, etc, etc. shite.

go to the clifford website, enter your postcode and find and authorised dealer/installer in your area other than halfords.

yeah, but it shouldnt mate! cos these cases are rare, and installers have told me that these alarms are the best..if they are installed properly, looks like the bloke is a bit of a monkey, tell him if its not right, u want the money back to get it fitted properly!

I know it's probably down to a shit installation and/or faulty component(s), but it kind of puts me off buying Clifford alarms in the future... :(

sounds pretty unlucky mate, loafofbrett, it does totaly rely on the engineer installing it, cos my 300 has been fine after 3 months (after tuning the sensitivity down)

Are they homos? :lol:

hmm...still waiting to get my clifford installed.

Most stories i hear are good ones. I think it's mostly down to the engineer that installed it.

As some of you may know, I recently had a Clifford Concept 300 fitted to my Astra a few weeks ago, ever since it's been fitted, I've had numerous problems with it, basically the alarm going off at random times of the day/night, sometimes when I try to stop it screaming through the whole of Oxford it doesn't want to know.

Anyway, he phoned me up just now to say he is in Swindon and will be on his way to come down here (at work) to sort it out, he said to me "most of the time we find it's down to user operational error" and I'm like "how can it be user operational error if the fucking alarm goes off at 6am some mornings when I'm asleep, or when it's really hot outside and I'm in work"...

Last wednesday he came down to turn down the sensitivity of it because if you so much as pushed the car with your hands it would go off, that "problem" has been fixed, but it still goes off when it feels like it!

Quite embarrasing at work last thursday when it went off in the afternoon, there is about 700 people that work here, and the whole building could hear that sodding thing, even with the windows closed!

If he doesn't fix the alarm today once and for all I'm gonna tell him to shove his shitty alarm up his ass and give me a full refund!

:mad:
