Finally got around to fitting this little gismo.Does what it says on the tin,works well.Easy to fit,took about,ooh,30 seconds :lol: .

A neat little unit,cant remember the excact price,think it was about 40 quid.
Now let em try and nick my car :evil: ,with this fitted,the handbrake lock,and my "anti bonnet flying up at the windscreen" device,they will never do it,unless they have a Hiab.

Looks neat but.....why spend £40 when a hidden wire to earth from your coil will effectively do exactly the same - it'll crank all day but wont go anywhere!

Hallo Dave 411,

I also love gadgets but whats the point when it can be removed in 30 secs?
:roll:
:idea: With your permission I will adopt the anti bonnet lift device. :idea:

Should I atract your attention to the fact that
the positive pole is not insulated against the holding bracket ? :shock:
Also may I ask whats the use of tape(?) around the gear lever?

Cheers

I just pulls a lead off the coil. Most theft is opportunistic, so if the car won't start fairly quickly I doubt the person will go to the trouble of lifting the bonnet to investigate. I do have a far better 'anti-theft' device than what's shown in that photo though....Actually I have two 'anti-theft' devices. A garage door and a Citroen C4 on the drive. :lol:

Tbh, if the want it they'll have it. A switch on the wire to the coil would do?

Jam a screw driver in the flywheel, that'd fuck them up, just don't forget about it.

I remember the days when the mere fact that it was a 2cv was enough to stop it ever getting nicked. Happy days.
