your best bet is a hidden kill switch somewhere in the car that only you know about, Ive heard of some very creative ones such as pushing the ashtray in (push button switch behind it), these simple switches are just as effective (if not more) as an immobiliser.

I also have spoken to a few vehicle recovery cops and they have all told me that the best defense against car theives is a club lock... I have been told by numerous cops that the first question they ask the owner when a car is found after being stolen is did it have a Club lock? The answer is ALWAYS no.

i totally agree.... a hidden kill switch which only you know about is the best defense. however, if they want it that badly, they'll just put it on the back of a truck. happened to my uncles X-Trail.

Yea my mates dad's HSV was just pulled onto the back of a tow truck.. never seen again.

Have to agree with the staying away from audiotech, they did my alarm and charged for all these features (microwave sensor to detect anyone inside car, self arming and self-closing windows when armed) that werent installed and the sensor that detects if the bonnet is closed broke the first time i closed it...

I had someone break in and try to nick my car out the front of the legislative assembly, they bent the steering wheel and got the horn stuck on (lucky me!). Took a little while, but a few months down the track and it's starting to become clear that they've bent the steering collumn and stuff. It's not cool. Got an alarm fitted, massive noise makers all over the place. Love it!

When I lived in Canberra a couple of years ago, my 32 was subjected to an attempted theft from the security carpark under the units I lived in, in Kingston.... no security system, but they sheared off the boss kit trying to break the factory steering lock.... and left the $500 Momo wheel in the car.... cost me $300 to fix the Qtr window..

Go to dick smith, grab a switch and some wire.

Make your own.

Very happy with mine. $1.50 switch. and cause of the way i have it hocked up the engine will turn over. Just with no spark. Causing the battery to flaten hopfully before the car is taken.

A carlock is a great thing aswell.

A mate had his car brocken into 2 times in a small period of time(never managed to get the car going). Put on a steering wheel lock and it never happend again.

+it turns into a baseball bat if ever needed.

I am not sure how effective club locks are either. I remember watching one of those sensationalistic news programs and using brute force a thief can break even the best ones.

I do like the idea of a hidden kill switch though. The only way to steal the car besides locating the switch is on the back of a truck...

they aren't very affective at all, but i use one anyway on top of my security system as it just another deterrent to help warn off your average joe who walks by

^Thats right, And remember if a theif see a car with a crock lock and one with out he is going to go for the one thats easier to take, If you have a crocklock and an alarm + a kill switch your increasing the chance that your car will still be in the spot you left it.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
