Finally, there are no weak parts on the Disklok, proven by passing the Sold Secure and Thatcham attack tests withstanding a minimum attack time of 5 minutes.

I quite the look of the x eng gear stick lock has anyone got one of them they use?

Yeah, I've got one and it feels very solid. It's not been tested in anger of course, but it's a pleasantly reassuring visible deterrent.

Or put the clutch in, if there's no pedal lock fitted.

Possibly, but as part of a strategy to slow the down, it's another thing to overcome. Plus it'd be a sod to drive with the stub that'd be left.

I'm not sure you'll find that element of the loom that Tiger mentions as I seem to recall from a previous thread on here, that pre MY2012 PUMAs were not fitted with these straight out of the factory. From what I can work out, bearing in mind I don't own a Puma, pre MY2012 pumas run a dedicated 12V sounder, separate to the horn(s). If you wanted a LR factory set up BBUS, you may find you need to replace the whole wing loom to allow for a BBUS instead. MY2012 and beyond Pumas, I'm told, have a BBUS as standard. Maybe stick to your original plan ?

Wouldn't personally bother with an ebay special P38 or D1 BBUS simply as there's a chance the NiMh battery is fecked and won't hold any charge or very much of one... completely defeating the point. Mind you, if cheap enough, it might be worth a punt to test before shelling out for a new one I guess.

I can't say that all Td5s are wired as per Tigers and mine but the 2002-on wiring diagrams suggest they should be. If a BBUS wasn't specced from new, the Td5 alarm sounder is the horn(wired for two, most only have one in situ), rather than having a separate alarm sounder as per the PUMA. However, the Td5s appear (maybe not all???) to have the BBUS and the non battery backed up alarm sounder wiring included in the loom.

As an aside, not that I can claim a defined trend yet given we're only one month in... but 25% of the reported thefts on LandyWatch so far this year have been Pumas. Less than 10% in previous years

[Added on edit.... Limited 2013 information provided by victims of theft on LandyWatch suggested that a Disklok had a 60% success rate at helping to prevent a theft compared to 12.5% of 'other steering wheel locks. To quote a post from one of their mods when I put this data up on LandyZone....

We all know that if the thieves want it they will have it but reading your 'known' stats, approx. 60% of landys attacked with discloks lived to fight another day compared to just 12.5% of landys with other steering locks fitted.

Electronic alarms and immobilisers are in general pretty much useless.

36% of landys attacked with pedal locks fitted also survived.

50% of vehicles fitted with trackers were retrieved.

In summary, fit a disclok, pedal lock and a tracker and you have pretty much done what you can without getting stupid about it.

It's a pretty good summary of the core protection that seems to make a difference..... then you can get stupid about it if you want.... (ahem)  Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.
