Guest cips007 Posted January 10, 2006 Also,is it best to try and disconnect old one 1st.Reason i asked is if i remove the old dash mounted light/receiver,im not sure if the new one i buy will fit in its place hence leaving a horrible hole in my dash...!

Higgy 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Hi, Back in about 1998 me and my friend both fitted Sparkrite 'alarm' systems. I had an added remote c/l module which was cool. BUT. Both of us suffered a weird problem whereby the alarm suddenly went off and could not be stopped. Mine happended about 2am, while my mates was driving his though town when his went off! I had to disconnect the battery to stop the siren. The next day I took the cover apart and found that a wire to the alarm horn was trapped against the circuit board, virbration/rubbing etc caused the insulation to wear through, and the wire then shorted to a positive (or maybe neg) track on the circuit board, thus giving the horn a direct feed! Also, after a few years of having the alarm fitted, I am sure I would get back to my car and the doors would be unlocked, so I removed the remote c/l module. As I say this was many moons ago, and they are probably better now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted January 11, 2006 I have a Cobra Cat 2 'touch key' immobiliser on the 1.9. As I'm stripping the car in the next few weeks I was planning on trying to get this off as it's only about 7 months old. Are you in any hurry for a replacement?

TEKNOPUG 3 Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) I have a Cobra Cat 2 'touch key' immobiliser on the 1.9. As I'm stripping the car in the next few weeks I was planning on trying to get this off as it's only about 7 months old. Are you in any hurry for a replacement? I've removed one of these from my spare Pug recently. Let me know if you need a hand. I also have a Clifford 3000 immobiliser sitting in a drawer, looking for a home for a few quid.

GLPoomobile 958 Posted January 11, 2006 I'll probably get annoyed when trying to get it out and send you half the ignition loom with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What type of immobiliser is the 3000 and what price including postage would you be asking for it Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
