Securing a Defender

[RDB logs]

I had a mini once with a hidden locking battery switch in the boot, I think I got it from a marine chandlers, as boat security is also a problem, it needed a separate key to turn on so even if you did find it you cannot operate it,

 

It would be good to lock the brakes on some how?

[White Noise]

I fitted a switch to cut the power going to the starter motor on one of my old Hiluxs . Many a morning I would forget to switch it on Saved me pulling the spade connector off the starter motor every night I also slept better . I always think homemade security devices are better as a thief would probably not be able to deal with them as he will not of encountered them before .

Buy one with a dint in every panel, makes em less nickable

 

Ed will put up a picture of his 110 so you know what you are aiming for

Tracking device, removable steering wheel, hidden fuel and battery cut ofs, pedal lock, drive it onto the drive so its harder to get away and leave the transfer box in neutral, that's what I do.

As an alternative to a removable steering wheel, consider a substantial disc lock (such as the DiskLok) which covers the whole wheel. Mine has the scars on it from when somebody tried - and failed - to remove it with bolt croppers.

Have a look at all the x-eng stuff as they do a mechanical shut off valve that can be put anywhere in a fluid line.

in fact I may have one for sale. Keep meaning to put it on arbtrader.

A big gate, and everything said already. As a vehicle the Defender is awesome, as a nickable assett it's pants.........

 

Not a lot to add, they get nicked because it's fairly easy (sorry).
