The pack comes with paint and plastic etch lables anorl.Good one. Won't stop them but will be expensive to replace all the windows (10 in a 90 CSW, 11 if it has a sunroof!).
I've had Landys on and off most of my adult life and security was never really an issue or a thought. I got my current 90 (no7 & a keeper) a couple of years ago after a ten year gap, and I have never in the past been so paranoid about it getting nicked. I can't remember but I don't think they were being stolen with such regularity ten or so years ago, I guess it's because they are no longer made and there is a large market (temporary fad, image trend?), both home and abroad.
But my issue with these physical barriers is that they all have a weak point - the lock. There are ways of opening locks without the key (a locksmith could tell you but they won't ). Duplicate and dummy keys are available. Only a few years ago hundreds of Ford Transits were broken into and either stolen of the poor tradesman had all of their tools stolen. There was no sign of damage and no clue to how it was done. Many insurance companies refused to settle the claim because it appeared the van had been left unlocked. It later emerged that an adjustable key which would fit any Transit van was available on ebay for £80.
There are a number of ways to disable a LR with hidden switches, The battery, starting motor, fuel pumps and even the fuel line itself. These hidden switches are unique to each vehicle and would take a would-be thief too long to determine why the engine will not start.
So, here are my suggestions for security:
1) Highly visible security device (Disklok) to deter the opportunist thief.
2) Hidden switches to immobilise the engine and thwart the more determined criminal.
3) Tracker (I haven't got one) but they can be expensive.
4) Possibly the most important is a GOOD insurance policy, one that will not only replace the vehicle but all those expensive add-ons as well.
Do they live in the Landy?Would my two noise-making chickens, Feather and Henrietta, qualify as security devices? Maybe I’m now clutching at straws!...
I rarely even lock mine. Famous last words I know but what a difference to living in the UK. I always fancied a quick release steering wheel.i use a disc lock,alarm,tracker and one of these
