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.

I wouldnt say you fit an alarm to deter people nicking your car, if you have
a car worth nicking then a tracker or similar would be what you need, an
alarm is to deter the pikey ****ers that smash your windows and want to
wrestle to get your stereo out, or whatever they feel they need to steal
from your car.

I would say you "do" need an alarm, and Toad/Clifford/Cobra/Foxguard etc
