I've sent him a message asking him to clarify what he's actually selling here, and has it got two keys too?

Edited 14 May, 201412 yr by Mr Ree

Yeah IMO it would put the un prepared opportunist thief off and would help delay theft if a clued up thief was doing it.

Anything that slows it down allowing the theft to be stopped is still good though

Another interesting item! http://www.barriersdirect.co.uk/safety-security-c1077/car-security-locks-alarms-tracker-c1037/car-locks-alarms-tracker-c1039/handbrake-gearstick-lock-p911

They're a doddle to remove. Won't say how but gone in under 15 seconds with minimal noise. Unless they have changed the design I wouldn't bother.

I'd do :

Hidden kill switch to fuel pump or distributor.

Lockable bollard

Gearbox lock out.

If they really want it they will get it.

Confederate flag, large NRA lifetime member badge, MagnaVolt sticker a-la Robocop.

 

 

A Mr Bean special - no steering wheel. Or my all time fave on older cars, remove rotor arm, replace cap. And/or pull the HT lead.

 

J.

You won't make any car impossible to steal.

You just make it more of a hassle.

 

A disklok (around £50-60 second hand on ebay, 2 or 3 keys so you have a spare) backed up with taking the rotor arm out (or something similar) will mean people just don't bother, and if they do it'll still not start.

 

We find the visual deterrent of the full wheel covering disklok just discourages people from actually bothering.

 

By the way, mine was a 2 door saloon (best shape IMO) in Old English White.

I regret selling it, but was seduced by this older Morris:

 

 

But I should have kept the mog.

As much fun as this was, it just cost more to buy, repair and had a top speed of 40mph so I rarely took it out.

 

 

After reading this thread I even had a little look on ebay last night.

 

The vans and Charles Ware prices are still eye watering I see.

Go on Foxy.

Sell some more of that immense stock of yours, and get yerself another Moggsie.....2 door...the best...Old English White....awesome...and we could have a Mogskoda meet and trackday!

Really?

 

How do you know this btw?

I had one on a car and broke the key while out. Also don't forget the gear knobs remove.

Btw I am talking about the handbrake / gear stick thing, not the disk lock.

I dont think he'll admit to how quite so easily hahaa

Yes, they are quite easy to get off.

The handbrake/gear lever security device, NOT the Disklok?

 

I'm getting confused here....easily done.

Yes, the handbrake/gearstick thing.

Most of them you can beat by yanking the handbrake on really hard or just taking the gearstick knob off.

 

The Disklok is better AND more visable.

Found this one, but do you understand the ad?

It's the one on the right apparently. So, what's the one on the left with no name on it with two keys sitting on it all about ey?  :think:

 

Warrington isn't too far away.

 

Some in there are being advertised for £500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

 

 

The nugget hasn't replied yet, and I'm not bidding until he does.

 

Why bother advertising something and then not watching who is looking and asking questions?

 

His ad's quite poor and confusing  imo.

Worth a punt, or tat d'ya's reckon?  :wonder:

Still no reply btw.

Staggering.

That's an interesting device I might try one of these at some stage and IMO if he's not replying he doesn't deserve your business.

Heres mine

....for my old Moggy.

 

After reading that article yesterday about even modern cars having their electronic disablement's easily over ridden, I suppose this applies to ALL cars now actually, not just the older stuff. 

 

I was going to get another Disklok, but 1, the price of the largest one that is required is very high, and 2 I've just read a review on the Halfords site regarding a bloke that lost his keys, and managed to overcome it with a screw driver and a pair of pliers!! 

 

I appreciate that if they REALLY want it, they'll have it, so what's best to put off these vile thieving  reptiles in the opinions of users of said and such visual items?

 

Miss R is home and re-commencing her summer job in just 3 weeks time, and I don't want her ringing to tell me there's an empty space where Moggsy used to be.

Put a sign in the window saying 'Danger- interior recently fumigated for Creeping Fescue'  - that should do the trick.

Do you want to stop it being stolen or find it when it has been? The former would be my choice. Somthing effective and brightly coloured.

Both, 'cus if they really want it, bar burying it under 50' of reinforced concrete, they'll have it.

Not a massive amount to invest, even if it turns out to be crap I suppose?

Pair of Moley's, and you'd soon have that away.  :p

Yeah i did think that, but iv also got an alarm that makes noises if someone even look it and goes off of they touch anything. Steering doesnt work unless the engine running either and the noise off the exhaust would alert half my street

Or atleast thats why i tell myself so i sleep better when ad the GFs in coatbridge(one of many glasgow ****holes)

All this though, and the filth simply smash their way into your house in the middle of the night, demanding the keys and threatening you. 

 

Not even allowed to p'raps have a tazer and bottle of pepper spray for such incidents though. :think:

 

Lot to be said for having a totally undesirable car.

One of the reasons I got rid of the Octy vRS was whan a gang of thuggy looking creatures came slowly slithering past out house in a battered old BMW staring at the car while I was washing it.

I did half expect 'a visit in the middle of the night' being the owld cynic that I am, but gladly it never happened.

Must have been my fearsome looks.

An email has come flooding in.  :clap:

 

 Had 2 disk loks. The small one is sold. The large one as 1 key. thanks carl.

 

Wonder if a spare key is available at a reasonable cost?

 

 

Answered my own question.

 

£14 each, then £7 thereafter,  but have to have the key code number tab.

 

I've asked the question to the seller anyway, as I', not having it with only one key.

 

Not too shabby a price to pay providing I can get this cheap enough.
