Any security on her?

Sorry to hear that Ben, especially as you know all the hassles it causes too.

You really must consider fitting a tracker to the next replacement. £299 fitted at Autotek on St Mary's Gate plus your choice of subscription - £120 pa or £325 for your duration of ownership. It might seem a lot but it proves invaluable for those who have gone through what you have.

This comes up everytime a Defender goes missing and it's simply bad advice. It would take anybody about 1 min to find any tracking device on a Defender and remove it. Especially systems like trackstar that need a celleluar aerial and GPS signal.
The money is better spent on a MeckLock fitted to brakes and clutch where the only viable option is to crane it and low loader it away. This very rarely happens.
Cheers

Sorry to hear that, but i know how you feel.
We just got our td5 back from the dealers with a complete new lock set because some low life broke into our house and took the spare car key (and had the cheak to return for the car).
Will keep a look out but if i was you i would start with a drive round to see if pikie is about.

Yup - mine had the trackstar on (I can probably tell you that now that it's gone).
Had a tracker on the golf, and they rang me up when it was on the back of a AA lorry telling me it had been moved suspiciously. Now that's good service!
There's not many places they can put them on a defender where the gps antenae is actually accesible. The radio wave tracker's much better, although not necessarily on a defender!
