Fiesta Zetec Climate - 1.4L - Alarm System?!

Featured Replies

Afternoon all,

I am new to the club, new to the Ford world and new to the driving world for that matter.

I have recently got myself a 2006 (56) Ford Fiesta Zetec Climate 1.4L and absolutely loving it. Overtime, I am getting to know the car and how to go about using/maintaining it. So recently, it hit me that I don't know how the alarm system sounds so I went about trying to make it chime by a number of ways:

- Open bonnet once locked (for more than 1 minute) - No luck

- Sit inside, lock it and wave hands around - No luck

- Start the engine whilst locked - No luck.

^ Single and double locked.

I have a very strong feeling that it doesn't actually have an anti-theft alarm system and I wanted to make sure for certain whether it does or not. Are there any sure-fire ways of figuring this out?

If it doesn't, is it actually worth getting one in? If so, roughly how much does one cost?

Alternatively, are there any ways to deter people from giving it a go? or any alternative safety measures I can install with relatively small cost?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Neel
