Corsa alarm trigger.

Discussion in 'Corsa' started by Michael Swift, Jun 5, 2007.

  1. I went to my nephew's wedding reception on Saturday, big expensive pub
    restaurant, my brother had booked a room and parked his two week old
    Astra Design on the car park. It was OK at 10.30 pm when I'd had enough
    of the noisy disco but by the time we got home 30 minutes later his four
    alloys had been stolen.

    I would have thought the alarm would have triggered as they jacked it up
    or are the scumbags so organised that they have a jack for each corner
    so the car doesn't tilt.

    Is this a Corsa as per heading or an Astra as in text?

    Presumably they destroyed the standard fit alloy wheel locks as well?

  3. Sorry, mine's an Astra, brothers is a Corsa, I'm getting a bit passed
    it.

    I assume they were ex boy scouts and came prepared with a universal key,
    they must have also brought the bricks it was left standing on.

    Corsa D (the newest shape one) or the Corsa C (last shape - 2000 to
    2006). SRi models of the C came with an alarm as standard and it was a
    cost option on other models. As far as I know, it doesn't have tilt
    sensing. As you have observed, locking alloy wheel nuts are a pain in
    the arse but nevertheless quite simple to defeat. The only true
    solution is to replace every single wheel nut on the car with locking
    ones, and even then it will just delay the thieves in completing the
    'job'.

  5. Cheers, I'm sure I've read my Astra SRi has the tilt alarm, I just
    assumed all Vauxhalls did.
