    corsa sport 1.6

    Red face factory alarm

    i have a little question regarding my corsa sport, am i correct in thinking all corsa sports have a factory fitted alarm, if so is there any way of finding out if it is still fitted, the reason for this is although i have had the car over a year now, i never questioned this but every time i got an insureance quote and typed in the reg No it automatically comes up factory fitted alarm, thanks for any help

    corsa sport 1.6

    Re: factory alarm

    lol, i would try that but the guy i bought the car off never had a fob, so i cant deadlock, i lock it with the key.
    It has central locking and also has the button on the interior light to imobilise the alarm if there is a pet left in the car.

    you dont need a fob for deadlocking. Just lock the door with the key then turn it again so the lock is horizontal (flat) but not all locks are deadlocks.

    corsa sport 1.6

    Re: factory alarm

    no luck dont have a deadlock, any idea of where i can get a decent alarm possibly with remote start for as little as possible as on very tight budget

    c20xe corsa sport

    Re: factory alarm

    corsa didnt come with a fob, if its a sport or even if it just has central locking it has deadlocks key goes in vertical when you turn the key the car locks and when you turn it till the keys horizontal its deadlocked, all models with centre locking have them
