Operation

When the key is removed the unit stops the flow of oil through the clutch hydraulic system. The electronic immobiliser also cuts the ignition system. If a thief were to steal the system he would come up against a two-tier defence system. First of all the vehicle would not start even with the cars ignition key. If he could beat the electronic immobiliser and start the car, when he depressed the clutch, the clutch would remain stuck to the floor. The only way to beat the system is to take it off. This will take at least 3-4 hours and will require him to be uninterrupted, have the correct tools, have the correct pipes and connection bolts to replace the unit pipes and he will also need to know what he is looking at. No system in the world is unbeatable but the strength of this system is that it takes so long to beat that the thief would give up long before then.
