and if they really want your car, they will just tow it away at 3am, and no-one will know what happened.Stoive wrote:cutting the starter motor with switch is overcome by touching a screw driver on the big starter motor active, and shorting it to the solenoid wire on the starter, both about 2cm away from eachother.
cutting the glow plugs with a switch is overcome by connecting one end of a jumper lead to the battery and the other end to the glow plug terminal on the engine, they're all linked and this will glow them all manually
cutting the stock fuel shut off solenoid with a switch is overcome by (old school diesel) disconnecting the rod by cutting it with bolt cutters or just pulling the circlip out and jamming it open... newer diesels, simply find the wire that is meant to be powered and power it with a jumper lead
and no, i dont steal cars, i am not trying to tell people how to steal cars, im trying to tell you how easy some of your devices are to get around, and not to trust them.
i have been trying to think of a fail safe way to imobilise my diesel engine too and i cant.
carby petrols are very easy as well, a simple 2 wires to re-wire the dizzy and your away! fuel injection is another story, all it takes is a switched circuit in one or more of the trigger sensors or ignitors and its near impossible to start, but there are other ways of stealing a car than driving it away
Point is, if they have to start dicking aropund under the bonnet shorting wires, they must mreally really want your car, and they are going to get it one way or another.
