Best way to stop the 90 being nicked?

[Manicminer]

On some of the vehicles I've had I used to pull the ignition fuse out and take it with me. Most thieves don't want to hang around trying to start a motor if it won't go

I'd say a dog is probably the most effectove deterrent when you're out and about.

I've looked for a good fake dog before now. You used to be able to get snoozing cats that looked like they were breathing - can you get similar fake dogs?

must addmit their is some good ideas been mentioned, i am of the opinion you have to try and protect it as much as possible, the occupational car thief will get it what ever, but the longer they have to be their to do the less likely they are of wanting to have a go.

oppurtunist thiefs will be put off a lot quicker by more visable deterrents.
mine has got a few visiable deterrents, alarm and two imbolisers, and a few trick bits.

I have one of those Big Un's. Bar down through steering wheel to floor and clamped to clutch pedal.  Bit fiddly but Thatcham approved.  May do same as the hybrid as well.  Removable transfer lever.  Fuel cut off switch sounds good, but Hilti gun is my favorite.  Sweet meats anyone? :?  :twisted:  :twisted:

wire the vehicle to mains when not in use, then if you do electrocute some one tying to nick it, and the plod turn up just blame it on the old girls wireing..he he he........

cheers

Andy............... :(biggrin):

You really can't beat some sort of valve in the fuel line, solenoid controlled from an obscure switch. No matter what the thieves do they will only drive a short distance. If they really want the vehicle of course you will never stop them but this does it for me.

I of course have the ultimate security on my hybrid which I am not about to disclose on an open forum. Anyone on this forum played my "start my lightweight" game? It has given me a lot of laughs in the past as even when I show folk how to start it most of them still can't. Lets just say that the system is such that even I can't start it if I am wearing gloves.

I had a Disc-Lok on the 110Tdi & 90 V8-CSW.
When I sold them, it was bought by (I think?) Ben kentzer(?)& I got a smaller one for the Discovery as it was too big

And what now?, it's too small for the Defender

Typical  :roll:  :roll:

After reading this lot, I'd believe that Landy's actually start!!!!

Okay, let a little air into the diseasal line... beast will start, but stop about a hundred yards up the road and be a b*tch to re-start.... Bit of a PITA other times though....

Run the exhaust into the beast with a manual flap... beast will start... but one very ill thief.....

Or even a very loud siren that, unless you hold a button down as you start it, it starts and doesn't stop, Just don't forget to push the button as you leave at 2am in the morning.

And finally, may sound daft... but put a button on the dash with "Don't push me" on it. wire that up to something nasty... it'll be the first button they try when it won't start...

OOOH :shock: .  I was told they didn't come that big.  What make / size is it and where did you get it (The old Defender one i mean)???

If you went with the disclok you could always get an engineering firm to cut you a nice neet hole in it for your steering ball thingy.

There also a system that can be fitted into the clutch system which locks the hydraulics off, if the pedal is pressed down the thing then stays there until released, hence no drive

I myself have never really trusted electronic devices on these beasts, if possible I will use mechanical methods, even if it is a big chain through the steering wheel and padlocked to the pedals

'H' You obviously beat me to it, I was going to ask James how he'd get round the question of his (erm, :oops: ...) ball

I'm not sure of the overall diameter, but the 'Large' fits the 2-spoke & (80's Range Rover style) 4-spoke wheels.
I need to try the large on mine, as it has one of those 'styling pads' on the boss :roll:
