    Theres a fitting guide here for a HAWK alarm..

    http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=360742

    Looks fairly good, and should do all the jobs you want if you want to do the job yourself..

    If not Mr Toad on here does some good kids, He is around Leeds i think, but can do the job in no time if you take it to him, or I'm sure he could put you to someone more local to you if its too much of a drive

    ive got a hawk alarm, came with window closure too. i cant fault the alarm itself as had it in the car for over 2 years, ddint wire up car start just alarm and window closure. only thing i;d say is the alarm siren is shit. they seem to last bout a year and half then die. thats the only fault i find with them

    Depends, if you pay more for clifford, you insurance may come down a bit if its thatcham.. If you fit it yourself, does the same job, just wont effect insurance..

    Saying that, alarms have never brought my quotes down, as most cars have immobilisers anyway, which is all that really counts..
