Can anyone recommend me a good alarm for my gsi?

I'm after something that helps bring the insurance slightly lower and to act as an immobiliser too, it doesn't have to be fancy just something that's upto the job.

I have a toad alarm with remote central locking and anti hi-jacking system.She dose close the windows when
the fob is button pressed, even a fuel cut off, excessive yes, but probably due to the cav coming from the leeds area

But my insurance likes it

Tracker is the best for insurance. I use a Clifford avantguard g5. Simular to a concept 600 series

Category 1 is highest :thumb

As for removing engine parts, that will render the car immobilized but ideally you'd want something that makes a loud noise as a deterrent. :thumb

Alarm dosn't always stop them nicking it.

Don't laugh too hard but is that a 'tracker' or an alarm called tracker?

As Mitch says, Toad systems are great. I also have a Sense and Tell system on one of my cars, a Clifford unit that has proximity sensors and screams at passers by in Spanish if they get too close. True.

A dog is about the best deterrent.
