Bongo Fury

On the subject of recent Bongo thefts, does anyone know anywhere decent in the Gloucester area to get an alarm fitted where I won't be ripped off or have it fitted by hamfisted monkeys?

Any ideas on a ballpark figure for a Thatcham approved one?

Many thanks

Hey veero

i spent weeks chasing fitters down here and got some figures back in the region of £400 some peeps will say not bad but me, i was skint and and it equaits to about £50 pound an hour i have seen fitters doin immobilisers only for £200, so i gave in and got a thatcham approved cat 1 alarm and immobiliser with closure for £60 odd squids and fitted it myself not for the faint hearted in my eye's but satisfying and a chance to hone my soldering skills, but it won't be recognised by your insurer cause your not a thatcham approved fitter but my insurance company didn't ask for it as a condition, reckon they may be changing there minds over the recent events My alarm is still goin well no probs after sorting out a little trigger issue I called on advice from a couple of helpfull forum members one a alarm fitter who may well be along soon


anyway if you fancy a challenge and your insurance dont ask for it why not

Talk to Paul Fisher at 12Volts on 07971 590160, a good friend of mine runs a small mobile business so I'm sure he'll do you a good deal

I just want it done right. I've spent enough hours faffing with car electrics with the engine conversion on my 205 over the last few years I really can't be arsed to do it myself. I was figuring around £400 but I will give Paul @ 12 volts a shout and see what they can do.

Thanks for the ref.

£250+ vat fitted for a Thatcham approved type 1 system.

Chappy is coming to fit it too, although sadly not Paul from 12v as I found someone nearer to me cheaper. Not that the insruance specifies one but for the extra cost it semes like good piece of mind and future proofing for other insurance companies as Im sure so do specify Thatcham 1 systems especially with the spate of Bongo thefts.

Thanks anyway.

All done, chappy has just gone. Would recommend him to anyone in the area. Workmanship seems good, no horrible holes/damage, professional to talk to, alarm seems to work as it should. All good. Company is called GVS, they even come to you to fit it.

Cheers

Email Ian with the details & maybe he can get added to the recommended list?

Last time I got a Thatcham Imobiliser fitted, it was £80 all in, fitted by a well respected approved fitter! (think £80 was mates rates, might have been £90/100 otherwise).

Am I showing my age or has security recently become v expensive?
