What car alarm for a cossie?
I need to change the alarm on the cossie, currently its a cat 1 laserline 291, but its driving me mad, so gotta change it, i have seen a clifford 650 for £324 fitted at hendon car stereo, what alarms have peeps got on their cars? and does anyone here fit alarms and wanna do me a cracking deal?

gra i recordec my missus reaction when i come home from spending all day in the pub with a mate of mine ive not seen for month and she then seen my tattoo on my fore arm
trust me just use that as the siren in any fucking car alarm and NO FOOKER is gonna touch it !!!!
it was ment to be a suprise but FUCK did she take it bad
my advice if you EVER think of getting a tattoo ALWAYS AND I MEAN ALWAYS tell the missus before,,,, dont just come back after a few beers in the pub and think she will be on the same level of humor,,,,,, grumpy fooker she was

i aint kidding mate, i got my little girls name wrote on my fore arm from my wrist to my elbow
my reply of
" all the girls in the club we was chatting to digged the tattoo,,,, you must have no taste babe"
didnt go down well either
considering i got my tounge pierced ONLY TO SHOW MY MISSUS WHO WANTED IT DONE AND TELL HER HONESTLY IF IT HURT !!!!!! and then she got it done i thought she would be into tattoos
but it seems it was more cause everytime i see this mate we always get into trouble,,,, i got a lift home off him once and spent 3 days in kentish town police cells for a crime we didnt commit
then i mention i wanna go for a quiet drink when i finish work on sat and shes cool with it,,,,, then i come back pissed with a tattoo,,,,, so i can kind of understand where shes comming from
anyway for a alarm on a serious note speak to steveb, hes got a bloke who he rates when it comes to alarms,,,,, JOB DONE AND LOCAL
get a clifford though, no matter what people talk about most are down to shite installs
never had a issue with my clifford,,,,,,, well actually my cossie was nicked so thats not the best example but it never played up

think the point is that clifford and thechoice of most so there they have more people who dont like there crap installs
go to the same place and have another alarm fitted and you will see the same result !!!!!
clifford ARE decent alarms,,,,, its finding a decent installer that people fail to notice
next we will be blaming dulux for crap paint finishes

mate alot of dealers who recomend the toads aint clifford dealers,,,, they then add the extra stories ect as why there not dealers
think the facts are that clifford have nipped there fuck ups a bit and took a few rogue installers out the loop, they now sell toad ect and slate cliffords
if you refitted the clifford proper ( they are quite hard to install tbh compared to a toad) then you would have a pukka alarm with alot of toy options aswell

probably fitted in the wrong place although they can be hard to get right

you either got foil/phone or coins in there mate
reinstall it but stick in in the roof in the middle mate, done that on mine and solved that issue proper
that was the only issue i had with my cossie, that was only when i left my phone on the car ( all the fucking time too,,, im sooo bad for that )
got told what i was doing and it relocated, job done
but car was nicked
