Anybody know anything about cobra alarms?

Cobra themselves can be quite handy. IIRC they're not a million miles from you, and are pretty useful on the phone provided you can prove who you are and that the car is yours.

Cheers Pete, will just have to get deafened while I stick my head arround the horn trying to model/code of the alarm.

Cobra UK is based in Nottingham. Bugger.

There's a bloke here who might be able to help

I'm sure the alarm place in the estate on the roundabout by Mr. Smiths (who's name I can't remember) were Cobra dealers.

Ah yeah. I know the people you mean. Falcon is it?

Think so.

Try speaking to Lee at Warrington Car Audio as well, tell him I recommended him (Mention the Mint Green Cosworth and he'll remember me)

Will he travel to Stockport though.

No, but he'll probably tell you what you need to know to sort it.

All original, no mods, except the boot lid is a different colour. The Aero has to stay. I just need to sort out this alarm.

The Saab mechanics are all good, as checked out at the service/HG work last week.

That's not worth £1500 for a start, plus, IME "leaky radiator" is soon followed by head gasket failure on T16s. Happened to me twice. On top of that, it's the "ugly" 900 saloon. Ugh.

"Mike P" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Yep, I'll second that "Order a HG kit, you're gonna need it"...

Definitely overpriced, compared to my £500 3dr.

I've been looking for one for ages, not seen one at the price you paid. I should never have sold my last one :-(

Remember, my slightly oil leaky =A3300 T16 that only ever failed on=20 handbrake.

Still exists arround rochdale way and I think he only paid a couple of=20 hundred for it.

Yes, it looked in decent nick too when I saw pics of it. I know two of the I've had are still going strong. The ruby copy I had was a K-reg and was in very good nick. I got rid of it because it was pissing oil everywhere from the headgasket , about a litre a week. If the MOT hadn't been up at the same time, I'd have kept it. As it was, I got what I paid for it..

IME C900 prices are all over the place. The "future classic" s**te people were bandying around a while ago has really stuck in some owner's minds, and they think their alright example is a minter worth £3000...

Unfortunatley practical performance cars have buggered up the 9000=20 market by telling everyone what a bargain 9k turbos are.

My =A3900 aero even with its faults is just about right priced. But any=20 nicer and they go upto nearly =A32k if you can find one.

Even the lesser models are fetching that price for full pressure turbos=20 and even light pressure turbos (because another couple of hundred will=20 take them higher than an Aero). They haven't helped by telling people to=20 buy a whole car if you just want an engine (They are building a MK2=20 Escort, with Saab 2.3 turbo engine, Omega box, and Volvo rear axle)=20 because they only cost peanuts. The peanuts price is rising because more=20 people want them, instead of just one "looney" getting it for pennies.
