Hi All,

Well after writing off my astra I now have a shiny new vectra :-)
Of course I want to do whatever I can to stop some little scrote
wandering off with it so I want to get an alarm installed ASAP.

Don't bother, for three reasons :

A. If it's a new Vectra, your average junkie simply won't bother with it -
they like old cars that are easy to get into.
B. If someone specifically wants your Vectra, then they'll take it anyway -
alarm or otherwise.
C. It's a Vectra.

It's sometimes a good idea to fit some decent security to an old and/or
unsecure and/or theft-target kind of car - but it's a waste of time and
money on anything modern.
