Can I suggest a Snap Off steering wheel? I fitted one recently and haven't looked back. My Defender 90 is a soft top and therefore very vulnerable to theft/idiots. Alarms don't work that well on Landy soft tops (a bit flappy!) so the only option was stop them driving it.

Removing the wheel seemed the best prevention and deterent method available. To add to this I bought the entire thing (wheel, locking mech and boss) from Ebay for under £50 delivered!

If they can't drive it, they can't steal it! Well, combined with a Jetlock any way!

Neal;

As far as I'm aware it's U.K. road legal. My insurance company are aware and it passed the last MOT  :wink:

The wheel stays on using two heavy duty steel, spring loaded locking pins, with a third removable key operated locking pin. This means that you can either lock the wheel onto the column or take the wheel off, insert the keyed locking pin again, lock it, and leave it in the vehicle so that it can't be refitted without taking the pin out and you can go to the pub without taking your steering wheel (lets face it - that would be a bit odd!)

Never mess with the Swedish RAT!  8)

if you do leave the steering wheel in the car, you could lock it up with one of those 'D' locks that mountainbikers use... mind you, if you've got the locking pin thing they cant refit it anyway.

i've had one landrover stolen, and fret about my current one.. the disc loc is good, but it doesn't stop people towing it away........ :(
