probably can be done, but the easiest security tip is to leave the lights on, the battery will soon become flat and nobody can nick it then... |

I bought one similar to the Autolock 2000 from Halfords years ago - easy to put on and take off and while a little bulky it stored easily in the rear footwell. I have used some kind of mechanical anti-theft device since the 70s, they are highly visible and while any thief that really wants your car will get it, they may be persuaded to look for an easier target. Unfortunately it doesn't fit on the steering wheel of my FF ( I have replaced it with one of the 'baseball' type) so I would definitely suggest 'try before you buy'. QUID FACIUM TIBI

Those disclok things have to be stored in the vehicle when you want to use the car and all they do is damage upholstery. You can't buy a decent storage box and even if you could it would have to live in the boot. Krooklocks were the same, the pedalbox things are equally unwieldy. It's all a huge PITA, whereas.......defeat the key module programming and the car's going nowhere. The extra alarm is fine but at 700 quid fitted I'll take the Blackbox thingy which essentially does the same thing, prevents a new key being programmed to the car. If thieves really want the car it will be on a flat bed and off into the night. |

I use one of these, not quite as secure but easier to use/store in the car

Are these even being nicked? I think it’s more the 405’s onwards that are the ones being targeted 2007 TDV8 Vogue SE

when this thread was started back in 2016 then it probably was the L322 that was being stolen...now in 2024 its the L405... ... - .- -.

Well i saw something that made me smile at the weekend, I walked past a L405 in B&Q with probably the best security feature I have seen for a while. no steering wheel, (yes thats correct) that must have been a faf and a bit extreme?? but probably works, that is unless he put it in the boot!!! |
