But wouldn't the alarm go off anyway if it is activated and the door is open??

I still don't know how this 'supposed way' is but I'm assuming that somehow he can get the door open without smashing the window?!

Only if my dog don't chew on stuff, I would have her in there guarding my car hehe

Guys,

I'll pull my door apart on the weekend and figure out how its done and also see if I can find out a way to fix it, once I've done that I'll PM people.

Stay tuned.

PS I don't think an alarm will stop them breaking in as it didn't in my case.

Cheers

Cameron

It sounds like there is a method of getting into your car but if you have an alarm / immobiliser then you shouldnt worry about the actual car being stolen.

Only reason to worry would be if you have stuff to steal inside the car - i try to not have valuables in the car when i leave it parked (i.e take the stereo face off) etc. They can steal cd's as i only have burnt cd copies in the car anyways.

Why dont you people just wire up another siren?

Get a piezo siren from dick smith or something; they're only about 10 bucks, but they're 100+DB.. Mount this somewhere hidden IN THE CABIN.. I can guarantee you that no1 can stand even a few seconds.

These sirens are meant for house alarms - the sales person even tried to talk me out of buying it as he recons you'd get deaf... but if a thief wanted to break into the car and steal shit, then I don't care if they get deaf.

If your alarm is triggered, you'll find that your normal siren (under the bonnet) will be louder outside the car, but stick your head inside the car and then you'll see what its like :rofl:

My car got broken into about a month ago. They tried to get the door open as scars suggest, but in the end they just smashed the window.

PM me coz I'd like to know, but I doubt its gonna help. If they want in, they'll get in. Just make sure you get a good immobilizer so they cant get the car without a tow truck.

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.

      Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?

      Looks fancy But after having a look, prior to its installation, I noticed that the yellow looking power steering reservoir would look crap next to this So I have this incoming..... Much cheaper than the Moroso and has great reviews (yeap, it's a Moroso knock off)

      Can we place bets? My money is on there is always the option to use the 1 way profile. So the diff is either 2 way and 1 way, or 1.5 way or 1 way.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
