multi lock, snap off steering wheel, polycarb windows, no locks.
Got pretty much everything covered there, unless they get a low loader.

Yeah think im going to get an Autolok, similar to that but goes over the handbrake, a steering lock or maybe a snap off steering wheel, and a toad alarm.
Ive never had a motor so old never really needed to worry about security

You fitted them for 2 years and still cant spell the words of your trade properly
TBH bud ive heard nohting but good reports with Toad, as for the Clifford shock sensers etc its not really in my budget, even though it would be nice!

I've heard about more issues with Cliffords than Toads tbh on most forums. Granted most may be down to fitting but quite a few peeps have trouble free operation with the Toads for years. I know which one I'd get.

I have a Toad. Had no problems at all. Technically due an inspection every year, but it works fine. Use car every day, and the original battery in the fob is working well.
Wish I had the total closure thing fitted with it though i.e. closes all the windows when the doors lock.

Park it someplace else mate. If they have tried to nick your rs turbo and failed, they will prob be back.
Dont really think people nick these for joyriding any more, more so for parts
Where is it parked mate?

Get an alarm such as an Ai606 but invest in a set of dead locks too.
Can't beleive this isnt alarmed anyway with it being an RS

You have a new car that probably comes with alot more security than mine from standard.

the only problem with deadlocks is that if they want something inside they will just smash the window.
