Hi all,
In terms of security for my 110, 200Tdi, 1992, I currently have:
The current immobiliser is too obvious, so I dreamt (perhaps stupidly) of splicing in a waterproof, push button cut-off to the live feed under the vehicle, right after the thick red wire leaves the battery box.
- Immobiliser starter cut-off, complete with red LED, fitted for £14 by my local mechanics. I'm not happy with it because they've placed the large cut-off switch right next to the LED (all positioned like one happy family above the lighter and rear washer controls.) When I pointed this out my mechanic said "put a rag over the switch then." He's a nice guy, but I do despair sometimes.
- Disklok attached to steering wheel.
- Reclaimed car clamp around rear wheel - should prevent/slow down towing/dragging.
- Bad smell - origin unknown.
A few queries regarding this:
Here's a crude diagram I put together that demonstrates what I'm envisioning:
- Is it possible to have a live cut-off button or would I need to do something with the negative as well?
- What type of switch would I need?
- Can anyone point me to a switch online?
- Is this a good idea? I'm not concerned about whether someone finds it or not, or that I'll have to kneel on the floor each time I want to immobilise the vehicle, I'm only concerned about whether this approach is achievable, technically speaking, and without having any negative effects on the electrics.
- Are all babies made in Landy's?
Thanks for taking the time to read through this.
anybody know where i can get a switch to put here that works on a remote key fob? I don't leave my car for long and this would be ideal to slow them down..i might even catch one while he's scrating his head?
cheers
