Discussion
I agree with Gazzab here. User with only a handfull of posts and no evidence of owning a Cerbera, i.e. photo's in profile etc and information is given freely that would save a criminal the use of a slidehammer or autopop. Not suggesting that he is a criminal, but how do you know?
If someone comes on here who we don't know, we should stick together and simply refer them to contacting their dealer.

This seems to come up from time to time and I would feel terrible if I gave this info and a car was stolen or broken into as a result - not suggesting this is the case here.
So how about a security question in future, like - what does the 1st line on page 8 of the handbook read for example.
Just a thought.

There is no right or wrong answer to this.
If someone asks, and someone is willing to help then you can ask a few questions via pm or email. If you are not comfortable with this then refer them to a dealer.
Even if they can get into the car they still have demobilise it and then start it.

Sorry mate, you're wrong, an OC thief can easily bypass the immobiliser, easily done, nuff said....
(the alarm is not a CAT1, once boot access is gained, the whole car can dissapear QUITE easily if said person has source the right knowledge!)
Also, the average opportunist can strip the contents quite easily, you'd be amazed at how many thieves there are that prefer to NOT smash their way into a car to get something, so the more techniques they learn of getting in, the MORE the word gets out and the more opportunists float around... society is fecked, you cant walk in the underground these days without looking at someone thinking they might be the next bomber or someone just picked your pocket cos they brushed hard up your rear....
So its always better to be safe than sorry, someone coming on here with not enough posting history or not personally known by someone who is a regular here will get the cold treatment for information like this... the first point of contact should always be the dealer/person they bought their car from.
I remember FourWheelDrift I think it was that had a sticky topic on this yonks back and detailed the guidelines extensively.

And you're always right, so we'll leave it at that. Can anyone remember the last time a Cerb was stolen.......?????.....me neither, in other words not many at all. Like I said if you feel comfortable passing the info on then it's your perogative, if not then do as Gaz had said and pass the person on to a dealer.

Dont be such an antagonist, there ARE CLEAR RULES on Pistonheads in respects to security related topics.
Its simply BETTER to be SAFE than SORRY!
Am I wrong?
This info gets given out far too easily IMHO. Legit new owners should make it a priority to find out this info from their dealers immediately, or from TVR direct if they quote chassis number etc etc, so should the worst happen later on and the battery is dead, then they know what to do.
A public forum website with no way of knowing who is behind the login name is not the way to get this info.
