The amount of work I've had to do lately, if it moved I'd keel over in shock! [-o<
Clutch Claw, Immobilisers, nuff said.
As has been said, if they really want it, they'll get it.

what about those land rover hand brake locks. looks like a normal land rover hand brake but it has a lock in it that u just use a key to unlock it! i saw them in LRO a few years back now, i'll see if i can find them on the WWW.

Looked into detecting just that via strain gauges on the suspension mounts/arms, way too fragile for a 4x4 and not cheap.

What ballshit! I think you'll find that's an extremely small percentage of car thefts. Does happen but nowhere near the amount you claim.

--- Quote from: "Berliner Beer" ---Joe Edwards suggested to me a hidden switch in the fuel injection wires. Hide in the cab somewhere. Not done it yet but seemed like a cheap option?

Completely pointless.... under the bonnet, a length of wire and problem overcome!! Two lengths of wire and you'll have the engine running.
I actually had my post deleated on Land Rover Net (one of the above links) for stating that!!! :shock:
Also normal battery isolators aren't bad... esp. the heavy duty metal ones (which I sell :wink: ). All the FIA does is protect the alternator, but has a plastic key which is pretty daft as some of them aren't that strong, and the keys are avaliable anywhere.
Depends if you want a kill switch, or a isolator switch.
