Heard great things about them - people never seem to have problems with them. Pretty good value as well

I had a toad on my old car (not a 606, might have been a 101 or something similar) and it worked a treat. Activated every time and went off when my car car broken into. Think it saved my car tbh

Unfortunately, he isn't hasn't got them for sale.

There is another selling for £219 though.

S214_UPP - I don't think you want to undertake fitting one yourself. I have seen what it looks like in the box. We are talking wires, and LOTS of them. Plus, you aren't likely to get insurance discounts because it wasn't fitted by an approved installer

On the Zetec S? Thought they'd have a fairly advanced alarm & immob as standard, being a newer car than the Corsa?

has a cat 1 alarm but kept getting anti theft valve caps stolen off it, it won't go off unless you put the key in the ignition as i've done first hand, maybe break windows aswell?

mine will go off if someone parks next to it or walks past it within 12 inches.

not bad having 2 cat 1 alarms on 1 car

quick question regarding alarms, if you havent got central locking can you still fit them and no wire up the lock/unlock part?

Yeah - with the Toad, when you manually (the only way) activate the deadlocks on a Corsa, the alarm 'lock/arm' 'unlock/disarm' button only controls the alarm/immob, won't affect the central locking. So there probably isn't any need to wire it up.

If you car doesn't have central locking, I'm 99.9% sure you'll need a central locking add on
