over_head_cam Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Nice one Lord Vader. the force is strong with you
Admin Mk2Jo Posted February 29, 2008 Admin Report Posted February 29, 2008 Nice one mate ..... won't stop that organic veg man from making a delivery on your van though
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 What about if you hit the sticky out lock bit with a hammer then ? Will it snap off or not ?
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Posted February 29, 2008 What about if you hit the sticky out lock bit with a hammer then ? Will it snap off or not ? I'll check it out tomorrow, and might have to get the welder out
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 If it snaps off you could get some metal pipe/tubing etc and weld it around the outside of the lock area so they can't bash it with a hammer easy
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Posted February 29, 2008 I've got some angle iron in the garage. I'll probably use that
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Good idea . I bought a steering lock once and lost the key the next week . A bloke at work smashed it off in 1 second with a hammer so that was that !!!!!! .
Nettles Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Good wheel clamp for the money. You can buy the exact same clamp from Argos for £30. Deffo worth investing in. Every security device you fit will help put off the thieving scum from having a go.

Copey Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 think am gonna get a snap off kit for my steerin wheel, so i can bring the wheel in at night...
Mick The Cabbie Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 think am gonna get a snap off kit for my steerin wheel, so i can bring the wheel in at night... ..or better still, leave the steerin wheel outside and bring the car in at night

orionmojo Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 i got one of these. i cant rate them enough, they turn so you cant break the steering lock, it takes 22 minutes (in tests) to drill the lock and are well known now for there robustness. many "chancer" car theifs simply wont bother.
oldbus Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Nice one Mike, should make the difference. What i find really disturbing when you read through all the posts, you guys are having a lot of problems with cars being stolen, garages being broken into or attempts at both. I don´t even close my garage door let alone lock it. I think that has more to do with me living in the sticks as opposed to Germany being that much better the the UK. There are just not enough OSF´s over here for anyone to notice probably...... Has this become a lot worse in the last couple of years since the prices have gone up, or is it just that it´s made more public by the forum? Whilst i feel a lot of people are over reacting i´d have an uncompfy feeling if i had to park my OSF outside......
ratman Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 £23 including delivery. It seems quite sturdy and should deter the casual thief. Get one... NOW!! Ive had one for over a year got it for my box trailor but its on my Tina now
spitbarnatt Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Got one of those a year ago from aldi for £15, Bargain! First thing to do is weld a large plate almost the outside diameter of your tire to it, then drill more holes so that it is a tighter fit around the wheel. I'll be cheking if the lock part needs beefing up right now. Point is if someone wants to nick a car they will, we just have to make it as hard, time consuming, damn near impossible as possible!
Noodles Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 I got one of these for the everyday car come with a nice padded handle
