Alarm

Hi,
Sorry about the thieving B.... who stole your bonnet and seats.
You should go to the website of Insurance companies who have a standard for alarms.
I find it quite strange the alarm didn't go off espaecially if you have the perimetric alarm and battery sounder (I have this in mine) as the minute an intruder fiddles with the alarm wires or enters the car - the alarm goes.

Sorry to hear about what has happened

They should have their hands chopped off.

The issue with these Land Rovers is that the alarm can be dissabled in 2 seconds if you know what you are doing ( I am not going to say on here). I think I have a £5 remody fo this is issue which I will be testing over th next few weeks. Other option would be to go down the aftermarket route.

Thanks for your replys it seems its a common problem with landrover but you learn the hard way don't you.Looks like i will be taking a visit to the dealer lock and loaded

missing the beast already..can't wait to get it back but going for a back up alarm asap.

Welcome to the club. Had the same happen to me, except they took my doors too. Where in the county are you?
As for the alarm, any system other than a land rover one will be good. My new alarm sounds if anyone walks upto the side of the vehicle, which is a good deterant.

Stolen Bonnet and seats

This is getting a big joke now for land rover it's about time we all went down and gave them a swift kick in the old ball bag

when will they learn that they have a

alarm system.

I had an idea about this and disscussed it with the deallers yesterday to see if I did it they would not get upset about it with warranty issues.

Mse if as you imply you have a 'fix option' would you please consider sharing this with other forum members. You could use the same means by which AndrewS gave out his 'remote locking' modification if you have the time and the inclination of course! Thank you!

If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
