Extra ways to secure a car

I found when I kept my 60 kilo mastiff and my 45 kilo Rotti x Pitbull in the back of my Landcruiser no-one would go near it.

A mate of mine as a Landie leightweight which is completely open. He lives in a semi rough area and just takes the ignition coil lead out when he leaves it.

Wouldnt work on a diesel but would could disconnect the stop soleniod on the diesel pump, assuming you're talking about the 205

I'm giving that to my sister, i'm having a mk3 Astra TDi since she needs a smaller car. She had a laptop rather than a car for her birthday and the lazy bum doesn't have a job so I offered her the 205 to learn in :)

C&R enterprises do a kit you fit to the gear stick in the golf that locks it with a relatively out of the way barrel.

Its diesel? Fit a small ball type valve in the supply pipe. Concrete the wheels into the ground. (this really works) Take the stop wire off. Depending on the wheels fit a disk lock (you need to drill your disks with a few holes like a bike.) These work great, I had a padlock through the disk on a big bike parked on the path outside a party in majorca years ago. When I left at about 9000rpm at 2am I got about 25 feet, before landing on the road with much amusement and merryment at my expense...

Only by fitting a) a quarter turn type valve like a washing machine. b) a solenoid valve (see nitrous site) in the fuel supply line.

It diesel, claim insurance buy car with proper engine?

Not a bad idea at all man! So I just drill a hole big enough for a pad lock and stick it on at night? Shouldnt damage the brake pads since you can get drilled&groved discs anyway.

Burgerman, diesels are cheaper to insure and run I don't care what you say :P

*fingers in ears*

Of course they are - nobody wants to steal them + they are so gutless they use no fuel!

2 more... Wire up to 240v live... and... Fit a sharpened large airshifter type ram vertically under drivers seat, connect to where oil pressure switch goes with a tee peice.. Fit a similar quarter turn valve in pipe to deactivate it, never never never forget it! Leave keys in. Once word gets aroung you will have no bother with thieves, but maybe with gays / weirdos!

LOL! When you are right, your right!

delock the car and fit a RCL alarm type thing. and get some tints done on the windows. they have no bearing on security themselves but the tint film will give a bit of strength to the glass itself. meaning that your average smash and run toerag wont hang around when his brick doenst go right thru. failing that Disconnect the battery/stop wire and fit a couple of immobiliser switches round the car ie hide a switch in the ashtray and one under the glove box or something. above all why worry if the thieves want it they'll have it no matter what precautions you take.

Buy a stinking pile of shit. In Sunderland, they have a tendency just to tow them.

buy a disclock for the steering wheel job over

However it seems to be discontinued. They come up on ebay every now and then but I would be wary about attempting to import one, you could end up being "busted by the feds" early one morning.

Hey

I went to Sunderland Uni, I don't recall anyone having any trouble on campus. depending where you stay may make a difference, if I remember rightly most the halls of residences have barriers on so actually driving off with yours car is quite unlikely but as for breaking in/vandalism, the barriers wont do much to stop that!

Hope this helps

P.S. Northumbria Police do campus watch and you can borrow from them a wheel/crook lock ( or you could) free of charge but your had to be over a certain age.

P.P.S Chavs are also known as Charva's up here which confused a few of my friends from down south when they first came up!

But your CAR had to be over a certain age

Sorry about that!!

You could if it was a common rail system.

->> Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

I used to take the steering wheel off.
