Arbtruck Security.

What happens when they just drag the car away or drag it onto a recovery truck or trailer? All it does is isolate engine from gearbox so it can't be driven away?

 

Well, the hydraulic lock works just as well on the braking circuit as the clutch, although it is illegal to have any kind of security device which when operated immobilises the vehicle totally eg by locking the brakes, so it is technically illegal to fit one in this way.

 

However it seems to me that the risk of being done for improperly fitting a security device is very small, unless the vehicle is nicked and then becomes immobilised in the middle of a junction or somewhere, in which case I bet you get notified and the vehicle gets recovered pretty quick.

 

I suppose the only real problem would be if the villains managed to immobilise it on a level crossing or similar.

 

Personally, I would take the risk and fit the lock to the brakes. But I didn't say that......

Got ya, didn't think you were allowed to fit it to the brakes. But I can see the benefits tho.
