Google the tel no and a couple other search options led to my findings, plus the emails i received had that Eastern European feel.

Inside the clocks is an eprom that stores mileage amongst other data such as chassis number, Can be edited by anyone with a bit of programming skills.

Would'nt fitting security topped bolts work....or am I really thick tonight?
And if so, anyone got an idea on the sizes required?

clocks are not secured by any bolts, just one circlip and they are yours in 20 seconds. you can use security bolts on LED light - M6x20.

Wow "Thieving Little B*******", having read through the thread. I have ordered the Cymarc clock protector, now it's out to get some M6x20 security bolts then for the headlight!

The price of trying not to be a victim eh!

Don't they just cut through them?

Report of it earlier on the thread?

Just thought I should add that I fitted the Cymarc brace as well as a headlamp cover after my clocks and headlight were stolen outside a pub in central London during daylight hours.

Alarm was going off like the clappers but no passer-by was bothered as they removed £3000 worth of kit.

Yesterday they took the instrument cluster again (two months after last time) cutting through the brace

This time it was parked outside a major shopping centre with CCTV and plenty of customers but nobody interested in tackling the two louts on a motorbike as they ripped it out with alarm going again.

If you park near Holborn be warned - nothing is safe.

I give up lol

Right just a thought! If it only takes a matter of seconds to remove the clocks, why not just remove them ourselves when parking in less than honourable locations?

 

[tecman]

that's the best idea actually! bit of hassle but worth it.

Thats a good idea. Unless once you refit them, they have to have a software update, but I don't see why they would.

Doesn't that make nicking the LED headlamps easier?

Just a thought.

I don't suppose the boys in blue would follow up on any info...would they!

no, it doesn't. I checked it myself and reported my findings on other thread while ago.

Remember the old days when you used to take the radio/cd out of the car each time you parked up. Seems like nothings moved on.
