corsa/nova

my m8 told me that you can start a corsa/nova by simply taking the hazard switch out and turning it round, putting it back in and bumping the car, i tried this, and it works, what a security flaw eh? everyone glue your switches in lol

I hate to be the one to post this, but im sure someone else would have. but if it does work and a security floor, it isnt a clever idea to advertising it.
because no doubt some little thieving tw*ts will go out and try it after reading this.

warning appriciated, maybe thats something paul could work on on the u2u messaging. that if there is something that you want members to be aware of, then you could u2u it to everyone instead of senting it to people one by one.

i cant get my head around the fact that it is so easy to do, you would of thought vauxhall would of found this when they where in the process of making the cars and prevented it, ah well

didnt do it on my old corsa, nor my GSi...

old corsa didnt have an alarm if any kind either...

i\'ve seen it done with a nova but never a corsa. also there seems to be an easy way to break into oldish vauxhalls as my dads cav and my corsa were both broken into in the same way i had a stoplock and i\'ve got a clifford alarm on my car as well so it was a bit annoying that they decided to break into my corsa when my dads cav was sat behind it on the street with no security devices and a bigger engine

ive never heard of it, doesnt make sense to me either?

im gonna have a look at the schematic and try and figure that one out when i get a chance. doubt it\'d do it on mine ive got a clifford alarm immobiliser, you have too turn key one notch then press the button on the fob

im wondering if it does it on all corsa models? i know the SRI has a built in factory immobiliser, i might make a difference
