Car got broken into last night.
Radio taken.
Just wondering if there are any cheap alarms ?
used to have a clifford on old corsa but £300 is too expensive.

you can get the toad that ben mentioned fitted for 210 on ebay, and plus another 60 for the extra sensors iirc but the standard alarm will do much better than a clifford imo

£219 iirc off eBay, installed. Certified installers as well, so get a certificate therefore discounts on insurance as it's Cat 1

Cheap alarms are cheap for a reason. Fork out £300 and get the clifford.
I have a clifford on mine. Sod buying a cheap alarm that can be bypassed by a 12 year old chav.

Me too. Alarms are good, but you'll never get past a disklock.
