Just had the wheels chrome powder coated and don't trust locking wheel nuts.

Does anybody know of an after market alarm that will sound if the car is jacked up.

Thanks

hi cliff, welcome to the club mate, sorry dont know of any. but im sure sombody else will. charlie

Thanks Charlie.

Just don't want the wheels nicked.

Need an old school pendulum alarm I think.

cliff why not just put a locking wheel nut on each wheel. charlie

I have one on each wheel but they sell locking wheel nut removers approved by the RAC on eBay.

Cliff

god youve got me going now cliff i didnt know that. i used to be a biker when i was younger& you can buy a movement alarm for them, but the wind ect can set them off. modern alarms will have that aspect in them i think !!!!!! charlie

Thanks for that never thought of it.

I will look into it.

Cliff

cliff mate have started new post about fuel prices if you can add to it on the site cheers charlie

Like you I don't like locking wheel nuts/bolts having experienced a problem where one sheared whilst undoing it on a Merc I owned. Took me days and a lot of drill bits to eventually make an hole large enough to get a decent size screw extractor in there.

 

There are many movement alarms out there and most will have an adjustment so that it will not go off in heavy winds etc, just when car is jacked up.

cliff, you could always buy a bike allarm sit it on the floor or boot of the car. charlie

Hi ..Cliff perhaps you could do the same as a freind of mine he fitted two lock nuts to each wheel

they are different so that you need two key nuts to remove the wheel---Just a thought ???

Thanks for everyone's suggestions I think I will give the bike alarm a go and hopefully this will work out for me..
