Apart from the obvious (tension leads off, steering-lock device) has anyone got any good ideas about how to make your A-series less nickable?

From hi-tech to homespun. Anything considered.

What about putting it in reverse, then open bonnet and disconnect gear lever. Only takes a minute and would flummox most would be thieves. :lol:

I have a custom made Crook-lock that fits onto the gear lever and locks the vehicle into 1st or 3rd Complete with a padlock they are made by Barry, will find his e-mail address & a photo of the device and post it up when I get Home tonight

Was he the chap selling them at the National? Surely then your 2CV could be driven away in 1st. or 3rd.

How about a wheel clamp? It'd mean the car couldn't be pushed or moved unless it was lifted..

in holland there is a 2cv garage that has a lock that works with a key lockable valve.
When you press the brake, you can close the valve so the brakes are still on..

or install something like this:

Most likely as he was also selling them at the puddleducks camp a few weeks later... was asking £15 each (inc the padlock) But I won mine in the raffle!! :shock: He was also selling window rubbers (that clip to door frame & hold window open) 2 for £8 plus £2 P&P

It's hard enough to work the gears with full use of them never mind with them locked into just one!!! :lol:

Tracker. I spotted this device on another forum last night. Costs £100 and uses a £10 sim card to pinpoint the car within 5 metres. You can also send a text message to the car and switch off the ignition or fuel pump. Only 2 wires to connect. http://www.cgmart.co.uk/ And no I'm not on commission honest :)

Edit. Just checked on ebay and there are dozens of them for even less money :shock:

Edit extra: Also on ebay are anti-tracker gadgets which completely block car tracker systems, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Pcs-Vehicle ... 27bf230efb

So this is probably the worst idea I've ever had and I recommend you ignore this post. :oops: :roll:

No problem! All we need to do is invent an anti-anti-tracker gadget! We could clean up! :idea:
