New car on the drive, but no remote locking and central locking only on the drivers side etc. I miss my old cars toad alamr with the remote peeper :(. So what im basically looking for is a decent alarm that will help lower my insurance if possible but must have remote locking, and works well lol.

Im not looking for lots of fancy features like bleeping when someone gets close or remote start, just a basic alarm with a remote lock will make me a happy bloke. My old toad only had a black and green button on the fob, was a really decent alarm wouldnt mind that one again any ideas which model it is and the costs as it was already fitted? If they done make it anymore then no worries. Are laserline any good?

Any help will be quality :afro:

I dont have a standard fob as the car was a re claim due to being bought on finance, the bitch didnt give them everything just one key. Im not even sure if it had it in the first place tbh, my old saxo had a little dome next to the sunroof winch my new one doesnt? Cheers though mate

Sorry mate but have you checked that you cant disarm the alarm by pulling the door pin up when the alarm is armed (eather by arming it with the window open or sitting in the car). as i have been fitting alarms for a long time and do not know of a way to fit that kind of alrm to a standered saxo fob.

Also if he has been in the business for 15 years Way is he not giving a land line number and only mobile numbers. I bet it is fitted in an hour and then if you get a problem and he has come out a long way to you for the small amount the he is getting out of it he will NOT come back out to you. Well that is what i think and i have seen them come and go.
EDIT
and a saxo is a very easy car to work on.
