crazymarcel 0 Posted June 7, 2005 You wont need a new alarm if you just need a replacement for your spare remote will you? I would just look after the one that does work, if not find out who makes your alarm, i.e clifford, sigma, toad etc and go to one of there approaved dealers/fitters who should be able to sort out a spare alarm fob for a small fortune. Not wishing to sound funny, but have you tried changin the battery in it? Alarm prices range from around 300/500quid fitted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted June 7, 2005 Hiya. Sounds like a barrel of fun. The Alarm thing depends on 2 things. 1) How much do you want to spend ? 2) What have you told your insurance company? 1) up to you but I wouldn't get anything costing less than 250 smackeroos caus I love my car and dispise theiving skum. 2) if you have specified or the insurance company have requested Thatcham cat 1 then things could get pricey quickly. I went to Sextons last week for a similar reason and was quoted 420 for a fitted cat 1 alarm with closure. http://www.sextons.co.uk/Car_Audio_Cata ... &id2=18219 Have a look but Im sure other more knowledgable peeps on the forum will be able to point you to the right alarm.

markievw 0 Posted June 7, 2005 the alarm is made by JR alarms yep have checked the battery. :lol: The problem is with battery connection and the battery. There are two batteries joined together with a metal strip and connected to the circuit board by a metal strip which has broke. I suppose i could try soldering it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted June 7, 2005 Yes or ring Rust Electronics on 0161 929 7550. They are in Altrincham, I think they made those alarms some time ago. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are handy with a solder iron though its worth a go, as its broken anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
