What's a good alarm

I'm thinking of havn the crap sigma alarm removed from my bugeye and recommendations on a good alarm to replace it with pref one that will work with a turbo timer and will do auto window open and close on all 4 windows

I don't know but the standard one is cack, I thought mine used to go off because I had a weak battery but it still goes off even though I've changed the battery. I'm thinking that the weather must set it off now because it will sound on a hot sunny day. I know that I used to have a TOAD alarm on one of my classics and that seemed to be a pretty decent

Yeah was thinking of a toad or a Clifford concept but depends on cost to remove one system and fit a new one

The Clifford Concept is a good alarm isn't it, they used to advertise quite regularly in the car magazines. A bit pricey though from what I remember.

Ive got a toad alarm and immobiliser on mine, if my fob has stopped working and is very old can i get a replacement brand new fob?

Yes mate. I have a Toad on the Type R and when I bought it there was only 1 alarm fob and it looked like it was about to disintegrate. I contacted a bloke called Ian Mewse who is an alarm engineer and he was able to send me 2 brand new fobs and I was able to code them to my alarm using his instructions. It cost me £50 for the 2 brand new fobs. If you want his contact details I can get them for you bud. The PIN code for my alarm was missing so I had to open my alarm up and give him the serial number and he was able to get the PIN code from Toad for me too.

Mario and mac a is the toad alarms any good and do yours have all the features? Apart from remote lock and immobiliser

Andy mine was on the car when I got it - it has 2 buttons on the fob - According to the manual button 2 is for total closure of windows, but I've never tried it. The first one just arms and disarms it and opens and closes the doors. It hasn't had any problems at all so far - I think it was an early model called a "Sterling One" - but manufactured by Toad and the Toad model is Toad Ai600. It isn't temperamental and hasn't gone off accidentally or pissed me off at all really.

Cheers Mario think I will go on the Google and have a look at the new model toad alarms

No problem mate

Waste of time if they want it they will get it and it won't start without key anyway I wouldn't bother wasting your money I leave mine anywhere that's what insurance is for

I leave mine every where byers the problem is the fob takes ages to open the doors so I can get I. The car iv changed batteries in it still the same

Ahhh ok mate

Can't you just get a new Sigma fob and then reprogramme it if it is playing up? I've seen the fobs for sale on eBay and Facebook. And Rob Ostle knows the procedure for reprogramming them

Sorry for the duff info lads..... Mines an Autowatch security system

Just got the certificate out to see what model it was so I could order new fobs and it's not even a toad alarm hahaha, could have fecking swore it was ha

Never mind if I can't find replacement fobs it's going the journey

I might have a look to see if I can get a pair of new fobs cheers for your comments
