"Tracker" for domestic vehicle

[rimfire4969]

My Sunbeam below had been sitting for about 12 years in a wet barn, now that had rust.

And went from this:

To this:

It is great when you get them back, mine took about 9 months for the rebuild.

if it is the same tracker as mine, then allow me to share the benefit of my experience - don't keep the tag in the same pocket as your mobile phone or keys - otherwise the signal gets interfered with and triggers an alert - which means I used to get an almost twice daily phone call from the centre asking if everything is ok. Only when I suggested I may have the thing removed and swap to a different system did vodaphone tell me of the above issue. They claim Aston should have explained this when I took delivery, but they didn't (or I was too excited by the shiny new thing on my drive to listen)

Rimfire, that's lovely.

 

You could spend a lot of money just keeping the chrome shiny !

Sunbeams had rust when they were made. After 12 years in a wet barn I am surprised there was anything left. looks good now

Nice project - and good luck with it! Seeing the photos and hearing of the rust when you opend her up couldn't help me think of this...

These trackers sound too expensive to put on a mere quad. I've heard of travelers pinching quads and leaving them in a wood somewhere to see if they have a tacker on them. If they are still there after a week, they move them on. Are they being paranoid?

i thought it was automatic for high end vehicles that are stolen - they are parked up in busy but posh residential areas and then returned to a few days later if they are still there.
