Hello, I am about to buy a microscan alarm, but can't get any idea of how much they cost to have fitted. Unfortunately no one wants to fit them - Demon Tweeks said NO too. There is a leaflet in the box, which I will not get to see until after I have bought it. Can someone give me an idea of how much it costs to fit the AN211 or AN700 and how reliable they are, or should I be looking for...

Some time ago, when braking quite heavily as I pulled into a dirt layby, the n/s/f wheel hit a pothole quite heavily. Thaught little of it at the time as when I pulled away to continue my journey, the car drove quite normally. The car is an ST185 4WD Toyota Celica GT4 turbo, with 65k on the clock. About 10 miles later, a very loud creaking, or screeching noise started to come from that corner of...

According to the man who sold it to me (his grandmother had owned the car) at one time the alarm functioned as an alarm, immoboliser, and remote central locking facility. I have the keychain button thing but it...

And let's not forget that it aint December yet - using a mobile isn't quite illegal, it's just about driving with due care at the moment. I believe it's illegal from August, fine only, points kick in from December.
