    Anti-theft devices

    What works best?
    I have an alarm & a steering wheel lock. But im still not 100% happy with just that.
    Anyone use anything else such as a fuel cut off switch? or a batt cut off switch?

    So true. I mean, only way you could REALLY stop someone from stealing it would be to park it in a casino vault. But even still, the Oceans 11 lot will get it

    An awkward, sloped driveway stops it getting onto a flatbed. I can hardly get my motor on and off the drive, let alone anyone else, crane or no crane.

    A well thought out DIY immobiliser has to be the best way to secure the car. I don't think it's a good move to list them here lads. If people have good ideas, share them via PM please.

    Re: Anti-theft devices

    ground anchors are good too, just buy a good un , trackers are ace but exspensive, i use a chain through the steerin wheel twice an hook it around the cage.., security posts are good , behind a garage door, err theres heaps of stuff out there , i also use a clutch claw that i got cheap off the web.

    £50 a month seems quite cheap to me.

    a handy little one is to take the wheels off, and the engine out. Nice and simple!
