B*STARDS

Chances are, and i know you probably wont want to read this, she has either gone to the local scrappy, or will become a banger racer, is there any clubs near you? or do you know of any one who races them from your area?

Would be first place id look

aye thats pretty much what i thought, but they are going to have to replace the steering on it, as steering wheel was boken off about a month ago when someone broke into

also the throttle body is sat in the boot of my 306.

there's quite a few breakers around here based in farms and such so i shall be keeping a eye on ebay and the such. I'm hoping that they maybe on cctv as i live on a main road in a mini town centre type area in Leeds.

Probably was Banger Racers. Reckon they should piss off and buy their own cars. Yours didnt have a windscreen did it?

Redorado · Post by **Redorado** » Mon Sep 07, 2009 7:38 pm

It did , but it was cracked and needed replacing

can you pm me the details as I live near high-edge raceway and I have a friend who races I'll give him a shout to keep his eyes open

That sucks!

Hope they drove into a wall shortly afterwards (in the pickup thing I mean)

i cant believe what i have just read! cheeky scroats. there has been a lot of dodgy looking stuff going on round here lately and i cant help worrying about the car over night. over the weekend i was in bed and i heard an alarm very similar to mine and i was up and out the door like a shot, thankfully turned out to be nothing.

Squig · Post by **Squig** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 10:37 pm

tell me about it, mine's on the drive behind another car surrounded by 4 ft fences so it's really hard to spot off the cuff when I'm at the girlfriend's but I still worry and have spent some sleepless nights worrying

FoxyCav · Post by **FoxyCav** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 10:15 am

mine's on the road, its alarmed, immobilised and has a disklok on but i still worry as well. it either that outside or the Capri though, out of the 2 the Capris more vulnerable, and worth more money (not that that matters) . Ive spent whole nights before now, up and down when i hear noises outside, the dog must think im nuts

no way, sorry to hear this has happend.

everything has to be bolted to the floor now

this is why my gsi is useually behind 2 cars, tho now its on its own on the drive

tho saying that its so full of parts anyone would be lucky to move it anywhere,

hope you find your car an it gets sorted out .

Really sorry to hear this happen

Although this gives an idea. Why not make another topic relating security issues etc. I know that a lot of our members make their Cavs look beautiful and i thought why not share some security/safety tips? I'm sure it would come in handy to some. Apart from the basic stuff, deadlocks, alarms etc, if there any other good tips to share with everyone?

You would need to be careful though, as this is a public facing forum...scrotes have access to this site too remember!!!

I've had a mk2 cav stolen, another mk2 vandalised until it was only fit for scrap...fuel lines cut , my motorcycle stolen and dumped (thankfully no real damage) and lastly someone stole the wifes number plates in June.

I have my cars looking as plain as possible (Cav 3 and Vec C), and both are fitted with stop-locks and full immobilizer alarms.

Doesn't stop the vandals, but upto now, neither have been taken

Cavalier342 · Post by **Cavalier342** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 11:25 pm

point taken there buddy, but we have to tell our members somehow just in case. As long as everyone takes their own step, its good, and i was just insisting on advising on those steps

Squig · Post by **Squig** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 11:58 pm

I did a how2 concerning a non-thatcham immobilizer setup for a little added protection

I was gutted enough when my motor got broken into and the head unit stolen but this is another level. Sorry to hear about this mate and I hope the folk who did it get found wrapped around a tree somewhere with hungry dogs chewing at their gonads.

CarriesGirl · Post by **CarriesGirl** » Sun Sep 27, 2009 7:40 pm

I am so sorry to hear this too. It brings back memories of when I had the use of another cavvie and that got nicked! The police didn't want to bother about it at the time, however, a week later my daughter spotted it neatly parked at the side of the road as we went past in a taxi!

We rang the police as they told us to and yet once again they didn't want to know! It needed petrol as I never left much in her due to nasty scrotes in my area

What is the general opinion regarding wheel clamps on top of all the other security added? I am now worried as my lass is parked either on the front lawn (as we speak) or on the road (when she is taxed). I have had some gypsy type people going to neighbours and trying to take her away

This all happened last year and they would also come and knock on my door too!

What I would like to do those thieving little **************** is just not printable. I hope you have some luck in getting her back!

Gaz · Post by **Gaz** » Sun Sep 27, 2009 7:55 pm

id get a disclock, ive had one since i first got my nova and its def the best deterrent there is, if they break in to it they know they aren't going to get it moving, even if they get it started.

this one, i know they arnt cheap but cheaper than replacing a car.

Post by **k1ngy** » Sun Sep 27, 2009 10:57 pm

sorry to hear this mate im gutted for you

, iv always liked the idea of having a hidden kill switch in the car but have no idea of how to do it, all i have on mine is a alarm its quite sensative but i still worry about the car
