In the never-ending saga that is Defender security, I am now in a personal debate about one of two options here..
(firstly, I already have a steering wheel lock, and am having an immobilizer upgrade + alarm as soon as the funds are in)
So which does Landyzone think is a better bet at the moment:
The gear lever lock:
X-Engineering Gear Lock R380
or the Clutch pedal lock:
Land Rover Defender 90 110 130 Security Pedal lock - PedLock© | eBay
I'm parked on a quiet, but considerate street, so I would hope HIAB is an unlikely event (famous last words) my main concern is the opportunity thief having a crack, or a stole-to-order crew tryng to nick off in it over night.
The gear level lock wouldn't stop a tow would it? because they could just depress the clutch and be away in it?
Locking the clutch up, equally.. wouldn't stop them dropping the handbrake and just towing it away..?
That sounds to me like the gear lever lock is a bit better though. It's also considerably more visible... and easy to fit on and off. Both devices would indeed stop a drive-off I believe.
Such a sad world we live in that the first thing you have to pour your pennies into is stopping some other scrote nicking your hard earnt truck.
