Easier to fit a hidden switch in line with the power feed to the stop solenoid.

No, it’s easier to reach under and crimp the pipe with mole grips but who wants easy

I would buy a simple but not too cheap secondhand easyfit wheelclamp
when you take it off it can be put on your spare wheel on the back door which also stops it getting nicked when your parked at the local yobbo centre lol
Most t leaves cant be bothered taking a wheel clamp off then nick your motor and most wheel thieves wouldnt look twice when its got a clamp on it

Tell ya what. Go ask in the appropriate section and leave the PROJECT section to those sharing PROJECTS with the rest of the forum.

Cheapest way is to leave a cardboard notice saying NO FUEL INSIDE TANK The mere thought of thieves pushing a one ten is worth it.

But, But, But --------- when your parked up the clamp is on a road wheel so the scrotes can nick your spare, and when your driving and have put it on the spare no-one is going to be able to nick the spare anyway.
Unless yours is even slower than the std land rover product.

I would be looking at an electrical isolator switch for the pump rather than a mechanical valve on the fuel line. Simply because the pump could be running dead headed at full pressure (4 bar +) if you forget to open the tap.
On my Defender I had a hidden switch fitted to the crank position sensor. There was no way it was ever going to start with the cps disconnected.

This seems a little silly to be posting our best fuel cut off positions on a public forum but I have PMed you where I put mine.
@discomania many thanks indeed mate
