I don't think it's a very good idea to ask on a public forum how people immobilise their cars...

I hear you but I didn’t think it controversial to ask about unplugging modules as this can be done in any car and a thief opening with bonnet to try and get it plugged back in would sound the alarm, so I thought it was a safe ask. The thing is I don’t want to go pulling plugs even with the power off in case it causes damage when I then play with menus etc |

Take a wheel off, works as a good visual deterrent. |

Turn off keyless entry for a start, and isolate the OBD-II plug under the dash. That is how they are usually nicked.

I took out one-day insurance to drive her home so she’s not insured now. I’m planning to swap the insurance over when I sell my current car. I did do a check on go-compare for both and the Range Rover is three times as high as my BMW 435d, yikes ![]() |

You live in London and no insurance, brave man. Take all the wheels off and the steering wheel then ![]() |

Depends on how deep you would like to go...
Now if they are just @$$Holes... they may damage your interior, but all that takes time. From what I have seen online - and a neighbor that had his Dodge Charger stolen a couple of weeks ago - we are talking seconds to steal a car... You can't prevent a car from being stolen - all you can do is slow them down to the point they give up and move on to easier targets. 2006 L322 HSE LUX 4.4NA Jag V8 Buckingham Blue/Ivory - 'Col Reb' Rolled Yahtzee Aug 2023 222,222Miles 2016 L405 HSE TD6.
