Dunno about the alarm mate but i would take the battery off and take some of the wheels off too.

I would also try any other way of imobilising the car blocking it in with another car!

In my experience, even with the remote it is impossible to make a quiet exit with a clifford equipped car !. Sounds like a good opportunity to put it in the bin and get a decent alarm.

Yeah I don't see the problem, just block your driveway. Hell if it meant not getting the car nicked then surely it's worth it.

Someone's obviously gonna be after it if they've taken your keys.

It might be a long shot but have you tried contacting the local police to see if anyone's handed them in. It's amazing but there are a few decent people out there so someone might have handed them in.

Take the battery out of it, not many thieves carry a 15kg car battery around with them..

Hello mate i have the instructions for cliffords what model do u have
and do u know its PIN number. If you dont its not all lost I would need the
number off of the ECU of the alarm, got a big barcode with it.
you can un program all the remotes and then add the one u have,
done this with loads of second hand ones i brought off ebay.

Right i think u have an arrow2 but still somewhere u must have a switch
for the valet mode might be in the glovebox it will be hidden but all cliffords have them will just be a normal 2 way switch u might think it doesnt work.

Hi Woody,

I don't suppose you have access to the installation manual for a Clifford Concept 50 ?

I have the owners manual, but no wiring details or installation info.

Cheers,

Ian.
