Security Measures
Good morning,

Sorry if I have posted incorrectly its my first time posting on here today. After wanting a Defender for around 30 years I have finally taken the plunge. I wanted to ask advise in regards to the most imperative devices to add to help prevent theft due to the magnitude of theft I have read about.

Thanks!

The first thing I would be doing is deleting the post listing what security you currently have - never post what you have as it only helps them come more prepared.

The more layers of security you have, the better, but obviously there gets to a point when you have so much security it becomes such a pain you never use it.

Hi Jimbo

Thanks for the heads up! I did think it could get very tedious....

Cheers

There are many threads on security on this site and a search will find lots of useful material. In my own built thread, linked below, there's details of some of the more straightforward measures that I've applied. Darren

The rule I was told was for every active defence type add a passive type :

steering wheel guard/lock - datatag/etching
peddle lock - tracker/airtag
gearbox lock - smartwater/microdots Zaid-M

Hello apegeneral and welcome.

As advised use the search function... your question has been asked multiple times
and there is lots of advice on this subject...




Try to prevent 1st recover 2nd,
Many 'specialist' car owners spend around 10% of the Vehicles Value on Security.

Good Luck*

Remember, if it takes too long to set all the devices, you’ll end up not bothering.

Oh, by the way someone will soon come along and say the extremely irritating “ if they really want it , they’ll get it whatever you do!”😡
Of course this is just nonsense.

A couple of visible, and a couple of invisible deterrents should be enough. 2002 td5 90 county hardtop
