door locks

Post by **shelley23** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 2:45 pm

hello,
I am hoping someone can help me, I have a Morris minor saloon and everything on it is original. last night someone broke in to my car, luckily I scared them off before they could take anything or the car and I was wondering if anyone has found away to fit new up to date door locks or fitted an alarm system to their car?
unfortunately I am on a very tight budget and I don't have hundreds of pounds to spend on an alarm system.
any suggestions would be very appreciated.
thanks in advance

Fit extra interior light switches to the doors and wire them to a horn with a key isolating switch let in to the door pillar, you can also fit micro switches in the boot and bonnet all on the same circuit. Seemple***

You must urgently fit a 'secret switch' to cut off the power to the fuel pump. This means a thief can start the engine - and sets off and after 50/100 yds the car splutters to a halt and he has no idea why.... Hopefully he then runs away - the car having been moved and obviously tampered with. He is very unlikely to start 'repairing' a car that he has moved a short distance away from it's owner!! Modern locks (even if possible) won't stop anyone wanting in to a Minor. Many folks swear by fitting a 'disclok' to the steering wheel - very obvious to anyone tempted by your car - and hopefully enough to make them walk on to find an easier target. Top tip of course - never leave anything valuable or tempting on show inside the car. A few 'alarm' stickers in the windows are cheap and cheerful and may be enough to make them walk on.
