Defender anti-theft

(1/5) > >>

07DefenderSeb:
What is the best anti-theft device for the Defender? I really hate the idea of putting on a crook lock every time i leave the truck.

I've spotted battery disconnector keys, but that would be a hassle to use every morning, having to lift the bonnet in order to drive.

Any red hot tips?

Magnum335:
To be honest mechanical are the best forms of prevention of driveaway theft ie discloc, pedal locks etc. A pain but if it stops it bein nicked. doesnt top landy being pushed into a curtainsider or winched onto a flatbed though  :(

Edge:
Battery isolator...... fit the key/isolator switch at the front of passenger seat, between passenger ankles/shins..... (No need to lift the bonnet).
Best thing is probably going to be a tracking device.... co's if someone wants to take your vehicle they will.... at least with a tracker you and the police will know where it is.

Cal:
Have you seen the mech lock - it disables the clutch from working. Pretty bl**dy pricey, but clever and it's not much compared to the value of the vehicle. I think it's Mud Stuff that sell them.

Bunnie:
I've noticed a lot of insurance companies are looking for trackers fitted that kinda thing, seen some on the standard questions type pages. The right one although expensive could bring the insurance down as well i think.

But the unfortunate thing is many cars are stolen to order to they are out the country or stripped within hours of being taken. The vehicle will have been watched for weeks to find out the best oppotunity to take it and no matter what device is fitted they will have it away. Its very sad really but part of the world we live in today.
