I've thought about fortifying the under seat battery box of my defender (steel plate lid with heavy duty lock) and then fitting an isolator inside (to save disconnecting the +ve terminal) - has anyone done this?

That doesnt really help because both the +ve and -Ve cables run out of the seat box underneath the landy so laying on your back under the landy you can cut both cables. Therefore doing exactly the same as you would be disconnecting the battery
 
I wonder what the legality of rigging up an alarm mine within the interior of a vehicle would be?

You know, those little cable-triggered spring-loaded devices fitted with a blank shotgun round that makes rather a loud bang.

I can't imagine many would-be tealeaves would be up for seeing through a theft attempt with a concussive shockwave like that ringing in their shell-likes!

A nice thought in theory but, of course, I'll bet HM Constabulary would have something to say about the resulting jibbering shell-shocked crim.

One can but dream......

When I get the disco I'm gonna do a fair bit for security, I'm thinking to start with I'll probably get one of these: Lifeline Quick Release Weld-On Formula Boss

And one of these: Autolec Mini Battery Isolator Switch

Plus putting the starter motor on a hidden switch. And an alarm.

You could probably leave your freelander with the doors unlocked, keys in the ignition and windows open in the dodgyiest part of Manchester and it would still be there when you came back, i really wouldn't worry about it, free landers are not desirable vehicles. in any sense.
