Need to get a alarm fitted to my car before I do anymore to my car. What I would like to know is which is better? Clifford or Toad? My mate has got a clifford and he rates it. I have also heard a few good things about toad too. Not looking into spending loads of money on it (sub £300). I would like it to have the option of remote central locking as my corsa has only got central locking.
Also are there any good websites where I can get them or anyone know of any decent places in the cambs, beds area?

Many thanks,
Tim.

the most important thing about alarms is the fitting, make sure you pay someone who knows what they are doing to fit it!

Thanks for all the advice. It looks like toad is the best option for the money I have to spend.

i got my alarm of a employee from there mate!

he can get them cheap from work and he fits them on his day off for a cut price of what the charge on their website!

so have not exactly dealt with them direct but had no problems what so ever!

dual sensors was set to high and he was straight back round to sort it out for me, then showed me how simple it was to do

i'd reccomend them mate, even the prices one the site are cheap compared with other security installers e.g GAP (guy and peter)

GAP are joust outside fitting my Clifford Concept 650. They are doing a really really profsional jobm he's soildering every joint and heatshrinking over it. Taking his time checking its all done properly... Not actually got it running yet, should be an hour more, but at the moment I'm really rating them. The downfall is they are expensive, for my alarm it was £700, this included fitting, the alarm, the Clifford boot release kit and a Clifford central locking kit. They also back the Clifford 12 month warrenty with a lifetime warrenty agains defects in the product. Also if your car gets stolen they will pay up to £500 of your excess....

Get what u want lol

Its all down to personal opinion, my toad fcuked up, but that was because my alternator wasn't regulating voltage anymore! lol

Only problem is, i couldn't get another alarm box seperate, eneded up buying another full toad ai606 and only requiring the alarm box, i'm now left with a box full of wires, key fob cases, alarm siren etc!

Taods are a pain to set up compared to cliffords, but mine does the job, never had any problems with its operation.
