Has anyone any experience of these security plugs?
Good morning.... I am new to Defender ownership and the forum.

I have read about the doors and bonnets being stolen and have found these plugs, just wondered if anyone has tried them and what their experience was.

Welcome Thumbs Up

I'm sure people have tried them but I think ball bearings knocked into the bolts are more popular, just as effective and cheaper Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Waste of money, just as Torx pin (sold as "security bolts"). Tried both. Only ball bearings can't be drilled out.

Hello Ralleyevo3 and welcome aboard Thumbs Up

By coincidence I recently saw a Defender with some of these fitted...
and they have (to my eye) a 'prize me out look' to them when fitted,
looking at the ad their pictures show the same 'head sticking up'
end result, also there looks to be a gap at the route of the torx
profile, so somewhere inviting to dig something in.

Your call but the ball bearing / fill and paint route gives no clue as to
what's underneath, (and can be removed if needed).

Worth doing as a layer of your security...

Good Luck SKIP

Look like the spannerer has gone a bit tight and snapped off the torque bit Laughing > 110 XS Double Cab
