Hi all,

Just wondering peoples oppinions on car alarms ive had the mongoose m80 before and hated it and i hear about alarms shitting themself every now and then ones that have heaps of features like pager and all that. I was thinking of hidden fuel cut switch, imobilizer and tracking (the one that was on group buy a while back). Any feed back would be good and/or a recommended person to do the job.

Cheers.

went broke well over two years ago. a couple of sydney people bought it and were operating it out of a garage for a while but last I heard it was all over. the local guys lost $100k or better each and there were 5 of them doing it.

Ehhh??? I had a Brant car alarm fitted to one of my cars only 4 months ago and they did a bloody excellent job for a company that is out of business...

I think you may find that you are wrong there.

They still have a website up as well (www.brant.com.au) if you wish to confirm.

I highly recommend them. Great products, great service, and they can come to you if you wish (I had it fitted while at work)

Lol some say that Brant is sh*t and some highly recommend them...zzz..... What to choose ? And hi Chris , should i go for Autowatch Alarm or just get an aftermarket alarm ??? What do you reckon? I prefer both security and also need to be compliant with insurer .... Any helps would be appreciated !!

as someone who used to fit for brant years ago I can honestly say I have fitted better more reliable alarms over the years than that thing. teh remotes were crap the electronics weren't much better.

autowatch is my preference for security though I do sell Viper and mongoose as well for those that want it.

I get pissed off when i hear Brant.

i called them when i needed an alarm to be fitted in my previous skyline.

i asked whoever it was that picked up the phone, if they had a basic alarm or immobiliser.

He then asked my budget and i said $300? Then guy started laughing and said i would never get an alarm from that much.

He just hung up the phone. Sounded so unprofessional.

BTW, i did not know they only sell very expensive alarms. i thought they might also have basic ones like every other company does.

I would also suggest Autowatch.

have used them in most of our cars back home (south africa) and i think they are made there lol

was surprised to find them here.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
