Anyone got one of these?

are they worth the money considering I need to buy the removable steering boss etc?
I going to buy the X-Defend Defender Pedal Lock and currently have a disc lock. Just looking at extra security.

Yes I have one and it's great. Far easier to store than the big disclok I used to use.

Might seem a daft question, but how do you steer with that thing

So where do you put your steering wheel when you go the pub?

Only asking?

I wouldn't take defender to pub as I'd be in no fit state to drive it.

So purchased a pair of Optimill black wingmirror brackets with lights and, after fitting the wing mirrors flap in and move around due to wind resistance. The guys on the stand at LRO promised if I had ANY issues they would resolve them (as I was complaining about the excessive cost). Contact them re the issue and the initial response is for me to send them back for repair. First off I don't think they realise that of the is a fault with their product within one moth of purchase they are legally obliged to replace with new and also that they should arrange for collection and replacement. I will be without a vehicle if I have to send them back and await new replacement. So far Optimill are not covering themselves in glory!

buying the optimill steering wheel detachable boss and the swivel lock were my 1st security upgrades for the landy. both work a charm, i'd suggest using a thread lock compound when fixing the steering wheel back to the detachable boss.

Fitted one to mine recently, easy to fit, took about half an hour, used the opportunity to fit a Momo wheel as well. Takes seconds to put it on when out and about, very visible to any thieving scrote who walks by, so might just put them off before they pop your lock. Sometimes just put the steering wheel in the back or pop it in my daysack and carry it around with me when out and about. Thinking about buying their storage bracket for when Exmoor Trim finally send out my cubby box (12 week wait) just to save the lock skiting about the deck of the footwell when not in use.
