Meta ADR Immobiliser Review

Meta systems released the Meta M43J immobiliser around 2 years ago and it has proven to be one of the most reliable immobilisers on the market. The M43J allows you to simply walk up to your vehicle and have the immobiliser disarmed before starting the vehicle. The ADR tags use a regular CR2032 battery these last for many months. The most reassuring thing about the Meta ADR immobiliser is the fact it has been tested by Thatcham using the key scanning / cloning attack method and it failed. This means having this type of […]

Ford Transit Drivers Door Lock Upgrade

Ford Transit MK8 fitted with the replacement high security drivers door lock. This also featured a bezel which sits around the new stainless steel cylinder, the idea behind the bezel is to stop mole grip attacks to the cylinder. Thieves break into these vehicles by getting hold of the drivers door lock with a pair of mole grips and twist the lock to the left side. This in turn unlocks the vehicles doors including the load area, if the vehicle is a 2018 model onwards it more than likely has the latest Ford update which stops the […]

This area caused the battery connections to become so corroded they wouldn’t allow the current to pass through.

We striped the whole thing down and cleaned every connection. after we were finshed we […]
