Hi this is my first post so hello everyone.

I have an S reg fiesta finesse, does anyone know if this can be fitted with a imob.


Thanks

You can fit an immobiliser on anything.

A Disclock is a good buy for about £70

And you have lots of electronic options starting from about £100

It will already have one fitted standard, i believe its to a CAT2 spec.
Basically there is a mico-chip in your key(there should be a little red tab in the corner), and when you insert the key into the ignition, the computer reads the micro-chip, and if its the right one, it'll allow you to start the engine.

HTH :)

As said you already have one fitted. As an extra detterent you could have a full cat1 alarm fitted and also have a disklock. Before i had my alarm installed my car got broken into and i had a spare key in the car (i didnt know it was in there, hidden under junk) but they managed to find it, when i saw my car broken into the ingition was on and the disklock had damage to it but had not been removed. My friends kept laughing at me for fitting it, saying i was being paranoid, but well it saved my car from being taken 100%

Just because I keep talking about definetly doing it doesn't mean I'm actualy going to do it.

Disc Lock will buy you about twenty mins of time with the thief. You can mod the disc lock to make it even harder for the oiks
