In terms of the alarm issue, I've got one fitted to my ED XR6. I've also got the alarm wired to a secondary immobiliser which cuts the fuel pump if the car is started without the alarm being disengaged properly. I did this because my first ED XR6 was knocked-off from outside my place in broad daylight during the week. Given that the car had Ford's Smartlock system fitted, I was shocked that it could be stolen so easily. However, I was even more surprised (and bloody angry) when my insurance company said "yeah mate, the theives cracked the Ford immobiliser back 5 or 6 years ago and are now being stolen at a rapid rate of knots." I couldn't believe what I was hearing!!!

I may stand corrected, but I believe there's bugger-all difference between the current Ford "Smartshield" system and the older "Smartlock" system in models prior to the AU. So guys, I'd fit an alarm as a MINIMUM measure, and preferably have a 2nd immobiliser fitted. It won't stop a professional who really wants your car, but it may slow them up enough for them to not be bothered so they'll just steal the HSV down the road!

They'd have to be pretty desperate to steal a HSV, wouldn't they?

:lol:

Either that or they are Saudis ( only people in the world who could keep oil up to a Gen III)
