I sometimes remove the dizzy rotor or even the main jets when parked. Saw it on dads army and thought what a good idea...

If they'll accept a battery isolator as a form of immobiliser they'll accept most things!! After all, to get round an isolater switch you just need to unscrew the terminal nuts, put both cables on one terminal and put one of the nuts back. I would have thought most electrical immobilisers were slightly more effective than that....

Standard key switch for SVA. The ign lock and switch act as the two devices.

the Standard key switch is ok for sva, without no more? is it because it acts as a steering lock and you can not start the engine without it.

so has peopel passed sva with just the ingtetion barrlel?

if so i will fit a Immobiliser after the sva.

thanks

I had to get a switch next to the battery fitted as my car has no steering lock, removable wheel, push button start and ignition barrel between the seats.

I've got an immobiliser built into the loom. It's a MicroscanMI600 and is Thatcham/Insurance approved. It cuts the ignition and starter circuits (any 2 circuits you choose) 30 secs after the transponder (on the key ring) is removed from the vicinity of the dash and the ignition switched off. Disarms as soon as the igniton goes on and the transponder is back near the dash. That and the ignition switch form my 2 security devices.

I had to demonstrate it at SVA.

Once IVA comes in you'll need a certificte from an approved fitter.
