Nah ninjas are so last year. Well it was to use a breakaway cable type idea, there would be a cable attached to a wire or some other thing in the engine bay which needs to be connected for the vehicle to run. On the other end of the cable (it could be retractable or fixed length) is a clip. When you park up for the night the clip gets attached onto perhaps the wheel or maybe a lampost. If someone tries to knick the vehicle then when they drive it away the cable severs the wire thus stopping the engine from running. Of course it will be hidden sufficiently so they won't know what's happened

Has anyone come up with a steel conduit or something to protect the +ve feed from the battwry box to fuse box yet? This is what the b'stards chop thru.
Checked out screwfix who do reels of reinforced and waterresistant conduit and glands. Shortest reel is 10m. Would people agree only 1m would suffice?
Thinking of doing this mod to mine.

That looks like its normal metal spiral conduit with a bit of plastic on the outside of it. If it is then you won't get much protection as you can cut it with normal wire cutters. You just have to crush it slightly and you can open up the spirals like stretching a spring.

Why do they cut the cable if they want to start it and drive away? Is it just to stop the alarm sounding? Seems as if an alarm with battery backup would fettle them if it was well hidden.

Either to be able to tow/lift or remove parts, most Defenders do not have battery backup fitted as standard, only last few years, before then option.

Shotgun won't help much - large dog much better. My dog can hear the postman when he enters the street, trouble is he's only about spaniel size and the despite a lot of noise, is the friendliest on the planet.
