Best way to stop the 90 being nicked?

I had a friend who used a switch to cut off the fuel pump in his escort, he just split the feed wire and ran it to his foglamp switch (no fog lights).

But with this in mind, we can't win really :evil:

But you have a mechanical fuel lift pump on pre Td5 Diesel Land Rovers (bar RoW spec 300Tdi's)....
Some people also say to put a switch in the feed to the fuel pump solenoid... but this is pointless... if someone wanted to pinch the Landy they would just run a seperate 12V feed to it.

I know, my Discovery is a 300TDi - that was intended as an example rather than a solution :wink:

Not totally pointless, anything that can be done to stop the opportunist thief is worth while.
Thought I have to agree that if someone really wants your car, whatever make/model, they will come prepared and there is very little that can be done to stop them - worst case would be a few ropes and a HIAB, or something similar, then they can get round any alarms, imobilisers, pedal boxes, switches etc at their leisure :cry:
