Title: Alarm Fitting in South Wales
Post by: Gatesy on March 02, 2007, 11:20:53 AM
I\'ve got a Toad alarm fitted and I have a feeling that it is draining my battery.  having probs with the batt going dead and the only thing I can think is that the alarm isnt fitted properly.  
Can anyone recomend a certified toad installer near Newport, South Wales who can check all the wiring and everything over?

Is there a sextons in Cardiff?

If not - there is one in Swansea.  I\'ve heard from a few people that they are pretty good with alarm installations.

Nice to see another rx in south wales, what colour is it?

Sextons are good but very expensive, i suppose you get what you pay for though as mine has been a bugger ever since it was installed

Its black :) The fastest colour :)
I\'m going to get out there with a multimeter tonight and start taking fuses out and see what difference it makes to the drain on the battery.

Some nice new roads up your way!  I think I\'ve been up there this year to watch a road rally.

I wouldn’t mind taking the car up there on a nice summer’s day for a blast!   :Thumbsup!

Hi Mate I\'m just outside the centre of Newport unfortunately.  Do come up to blackwood but not been up there in the Rex yet as I\'m waiting for the weather to dry up a bit before tearing some roads up.
