rustydiver Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Down to £8.40 - how low can it go?? Maybe the seller has a load of them taking up space and is willing to take the loss to get rid of them. GPS/GSM chips in volume are very very cheap nowadays, but this seems to have a lot of extras. A microphone so you can listen in to the thieves in the cab, an alarm, engine immobiliser, door and fuel sensors. As I say, I've ordered one, so as and when it arrives I might open it up and post some pictures. Btw Jess - this one class to be a TK-103A. I've got one off them in the garage was fitted to my 60's pick up. I paid a bit more than that. It worked good the only downside is because I didn't drive it much I found after a few weeks it drained the battery. Came with external gprs and gps aerials.

Arthur Brown Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 One Maplin tracker specifically says it will NOT work with 3 SIMs. be sure that your tracker will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 You can't use a Three SIM in the tracker, but you can have a Three SIM in the phone you use to access the tracker. This is because many, cheap trackers use 2G and Three uses 3G or 4G. I use Giffgaff in my Techy gadgets because they are cheap and can be topped up over the internet.

Pykebird Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 You can also have them connected to the boats 12v with a battery back up that last 36 hours. Great bit of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I now have three Giffgaff SIMs on my boat. You have to add £10 initially and this credit never expires. Tracker must send one text message every six months to keep the SIM activated. Texts are 5p. If you order three or four SIMS you get £5 credit when you register the second and third SIMs. You need to register each SIM with a different user name but can use the same email address. I lost the free Giffgaff to Giffgaff texts and calls after three months but, as I don't have a Giffgaff phone it's no great loss. It's a doddle to top up over the internet. Just don't buy any goodybags or gigabags, you don't need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchcrawler Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Just loosen the bleed screw on the fuel filter, that will stop them for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Just loosen the bleed screw on the fuel filter, that will stop them for a few hours. That would fill my engine room with diesel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pykebird Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Still happy with mine, been fitted for over 2 years, no Ariel or fuss. Had a friend use it to track me all over Birmingham, obviously with my permission, he was over 150 miles away at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most toe rags met with a note like that are likely to put your safe through a window and cause mindless vandalism and if they've taken the safe away and find the note will probably come back to retaliate for making a fool of them. Better to put something sacrificial in it so they think they have something of value and be done with any risk of repercussions when they do get it open.
