All garage work involves equal measures of enthusiasm, ingenuity and a fair degree of irresponsibility.

This just shows how little you know. I used to work in a wrecking yard and we used to get a lot of cars with immobilisers. I used to bypass the immobiliser in about 15 seconds.

If the car has a carby I would not bother with an immobiliser, the crook is going to bypass it when he hotwires it anyway.

There are a few things you can do that will work.
1) A battery switch on the battery cable under the floor.
2) A fuel cut off switch under the car.
3) A fuel cut off switch in the boot.
4) A lock on the handbrake. (A hydraulic lock on the brakes will also work but is not legal for road use)
5) A lock on the gearchange.

hmmm this is true if u have an electric fuel pump installed ur at an advantage a mate of mine use to undo is spark plugs when he bought mini, and has anyone got the steering lock in the steering coloums

I left my car at a dyno place. And the owner of the place stuffed something and couldn't get the car started, and due to my dash setup, a wire was out the window down the front and under the bonnet.

Morris 1100 PM, what is the issue about carbies and immobilsers not working?

The other thing is, if you could by-pass one in 15 seconds (took the dyno guy an hour... ) could the average 16 year old joy rider?

The problem with immobilizers on a carbie car is that the only thing they can restrict is fuel and current. Both of which can be routed around to get around the immobilzer.

My solution would be padlock the car in reverse by mounted a bracket on the floor and using a combination lock - a la Saab style

lol this is true but what happens when u go out? i guess there is really no real way to protect ur mini from someone stealing it, juz have to pray for luck and hope to god no one trys to take it

Bolt a bracket to the floor behind the gear lever. Pass a padlock around around the gear lever with the car in reverse and mount through the bracket.

Therefore you cant take the car out of reverse without removing the padlock

hmmmm i like i like but i pain in the ass to do

That PITA would've been worth it if your car got stolen by some low-life.
