There’s a guy on Landywatch selling a small device that screws on to the tyre valve and then locks with a key so you can’t remove it (without the key)
If you drive off with the device attached, the tyre deflates “within a few hundred metres”
This seems a very good idea, as you wouldn’t drive a Defender very far with (say) two flat tyres.
The device is under £40.
Has anybody tried this product or had any experience of it? It looks like a German supplier.

If nicked for parts, they won’t worry driving on flats for a few miles to a trailer

Sad but true.

Its more likely to catch me out, on the morning when you're already late, forget to take your special caps off, then... I'd have to buy a compressor for the times when I forget.

I remember these from a few years ago, don't know if it is the same product or an alternative brand?
I have no personal experience of them and despite a bit of fanfare at the launch back in the day I don't know anyone who bought them.

I can’t find a link, but it’s on Landywatch
The guy says to “email him and he will send back order details”
It’s a yellow device that sits on the tyre valve. It’s likely a thief wouldn’t notice it was fitted, in which case they would rapidly find the Land Rover almost uncontrollable

So you order a set from him fit them to your defender...

A week later he rocks up at your adddress in the middle of the night disables them and off he goes...

Around here the kids will nick them, any shiny valve caps just vanish!

For the device to work, your landy has already been taken. And well equipped thieves will be able to change a tyre.

I keep every panel dented and if they can start it, they can keep the stupid thing

My Mrs worries about mine... & you’ve seen the prime condition it’s in

Well l guess.
But you can’t get them off without a key, and the seller is in Germany so unlikely to turn up at your house
Obviously not the good security idea l thought it was.
Although l can’t see a thief pulling over and changing two wheels a few hundred yards from your property....more likely to just dump it
And probably set fire to it
