Hi dudes and dudettes. I've got a 1999 Corsa Sport 1.6 and it's got the boggo Vauxhall alarm fitted including deadlocks... I got a few questions 
Does the standard alarm simply only go off if the doors are somehow forced open? Or does it go off if you smack the car one too?
I want to keep the deadlock function but been thinking about adding an alarm with remote central locking so I can use a fob... now will I need to disconnect the vauxhall alarm if I add another one with RCL? and if I DONT need to remove the vauxhall one, I assume if I deadlock the car with the key, the RCL wont work anyway until i manually unlock the doors?
If you can get an alarm which can also activate the deadlocks on the doors, i am assuming it'd then be safe to delock the car also? as ultimately that'd be great but I want to keep the deadlocks in action
Thanks all

Smacking the car will require an ultrasonic impact detector.
Bricks thru the windows are detected by ultrasonic sensors in pillars.
Most of todays alarms have a trigger wire so what you can use your original Vauxhall key to arm and disarm the system so that both work side by side.

i dont wanna pay silly money cuz 1) i aint got it and 2) i aint keeping the car THAT long but do any of you know of any cheaper alarms which are highly recommended? dont have to be thatcham approved aslong as they're reliable and efficient

might be needing to change the solenoids on mine tho as it is playing up, trying to trigger itself etc!!

random question about the standard alarm...
what will cause it to keep goin off when i unlock the doors then open it? jus randomly goes off sometimes? sometimes its fine others it goes off, annoying outside a mates house at 2am lol... 
at first i thought it was from opening too quick, but i'd leave it ages, or go in the boot get something then go back to drivers door and open it and it'd go off.. only does it on drivers door.

does your door lock seem sloppy?
if camgear in door has broken then when u unlock door, the microswitch for alarm wont be deactivating.
standard alarm is thatcham 2>1 anyway so u need not really bother.
because it is a mechanical deadlock system u cannot fit an alarm that will operate the deadlock function.

nah feels/sounds tight and quick, its only an intermittent thing lol.
Gonna bang a new alarm with RCL on sooner or later anyway and use the deadlocks at night etc. I'll live with it for now
