Probably.

But it's also illegal to steal a Land Rover, and if the authorities are unable to prevent these gangs from shipping them out of the country in containers, then l will take my own measures to help prevent it happening.

That's fair enough so long as you don't mind being held liable for losses or injury to the thieves and more importantly innocent 3 parties.

It'll probably void your insurance as well in the event of a theft whether there is any other claim or not.

That'll show'em
 
Hmmm.....OK.

I have not fitted it to my 110 yet, so l guess that part of the security will have to go in the bin.

It was in the 90 which we sold last year, but it took it out before sale.

genuine question - how hard would it be to just force the box out of gear without the clutch pedal. We've all done that sort of thing when clutches/cables fail.

I'm paying a hell of a lot of attention to all these thread at the moment, as I want my new build landy to be as secure as feasible. It seems the greatest threat is now hotwire & drive, but rather winch up a trailer and tow it off.

With that being so, it's then perhaps an idea to focus on things which a) prevent vehicle entry, b) Prevent rolling/steering onto a trailer, c) prevent dragging onto a trailer / flatbed.

At home, things like ground anchors and posts seem the obvious answers. vehicle entry protection could be alarm, or perhaps those fancy gunwhale length door locks.
 
Any one remember about 7 y ago in brum a Ferrari was stolen , it had the most sophisticated alarm you could buy, it seems a Ferrari low loader appeared with men in ferrari overalls and lifted it up ..alarms blasting, folk latter said they saw it but thought nothing of it.
Police reckon that was on boat within 12hrs and gone..on the news.in fact a guy on here tues had hes towed out of aldi car park while he was shopping
so spose ..if they want it...

Rattys thread on theft/attempted theft shows a full steering wheel lock to be the most effective single piece of additional security at frustrating thieves.

It's important for it to be a loose fit on the wheel and for the steering lock to be engaged. It makes it a mare to drag it up ramps.

Full box type pedal locks take some getting past but don't prevent a straight pull.

The new transmission brake locks look promising but it's too soon to have any hands on experience of effectiveness overall and likewise don't stop a pull up ramps.

A tracker hugely increases the changes of getting it back if it does wander off.

I always put the steering lock with it on full lock, diff lock on and the disklok on loose. The disklok has been welded up to improve it too.
Plus a lot of other stuff like pedal boxes, proximity alarm imobilisers etc.

I'm not so keen on the transmission lock after looking at it. Just undo the props and you can tow it away.
 
i have the full disc lock ,,had it after seeing top gear take 6 cars into a field with an array of security gadgets and let a group of...reformed.. expert car thieves lose
they destroyed most in under 1 min..some like that awful steering wheel to brake pedal in secs...full face disclock was only one they could not beat ..in the end it was angle grinder job ...how goods that,,,and when they finished there was no steering wheel left
 
The new handbrake lock, portable oxy kit rear prop off axle end only, and drive away.
Or even quieter remove rear halfshafts/drive members.
