Something I thought when I got my alloys for the vectra, so never bothered with locking nuts. Think stealing wheels is outdated now..

Yeah don't think it's happened for years. They're about a tenner scrap for 15inch. And selling stolen wheels is hard work tis not be on top. I've got corsa sport they have the centre cap screwed on so I'm happy with that

Yeah it just makes more sense to take the car, a corsa can be gotten into and started in about 1 minute and it'd take 5-10 to take wheels [emoji38]

1 minute? That's slow. We must have a better quality of car thieves here

Out of interest Johnny how do you get round the transponder chip thingy in the key?

Not that I'm planning on robbing any corsas more just in case I ever end up stuck

For obvious reasons I'm not going to explain how to bypass an immobiliser [emoji38]

But take the the majority of corsas are pre 97 and don't have an immobiliser, they also have a major wiring fault that makes them incredibly easy to bump start but I'm not going to say that either but if it bothers you enough I'm sure it'll come up on Google

I know about the pre 97 I was more interested in post 97 I could by pass an immobiliser with no real trouble but it would take me a while, it was 'in one minute' that got me intrigued haha.

I've had to 'steal' for want of a better word a few cars after losing keys but never one with a factory transponder/immobiliser

Now that you wrote "how to steal a corsa" you will be at the top of the google search [emoji38]
