JamesArup Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Howdy folks, It's been a while, hope everyone is well? Quick question! Has anyone replaced just the siren on their alarm system? I have an old Clifford Concept system that's been on the car for around 15 years now! It works fine, but it seems that the actual siren has been sitting a bit too close to the turbo! It's basically melted everything in, and around, the siren so there is no longer any noise at all (sometimes a good thing with the sensitive proximity sensor). Does anyone know if it's possible just to replace the siren? I've had a look around Amazon, Ebay etc, but it's hard to tell whether I will end up with a novelty truck horn or something!! It doesn't look like Clifford sell spare ones either, at least not from what I have found. Thanks for any help! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Considering the price of a new alarm system relative to the value of your car, I'd personally just consider fitting a complete new alarm system. You simply won't know the extent of the damage to the wiring and thus, the main alarm unit until you've ripped it all out, and even then, unless you're an expert, you probably won't be able to tell if it's all in good working order. You cannot be too safe these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Yeah, that's very true, and it was my other option! As I said, that alarm has been in the car since I got it in 2004, so I'm sure they are a lot more advanced now! If I replace it, I just need to find a good option!!

Mo Reviews Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Generally Cliffords are the go to option for alarms... Have a look here. This chap has sorted the alarm systems on all my cars and he does a fantastic job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Clifford 650 is a nice alarm. Doesn't sound too bad. Nice features. Window close and all the sensors on mine. Decent keyfob. Can recommend. Also not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Great, thanks guys! The Clifford 650 looks like a decent bit of kit! Might give Shervin a shout if he still has it. Problem is that I am out in Spain, and my car is on the driveway, under covers, just outside London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
