Just spoke to Walldonway, they wont be getting them in at that price anymore (£113), so those lucky buggers to get one at the price are lucky. They wont be getting any in stock now but can get them from main dealers for £150 inc VAT. Happy hunting

Good luck with the main dealer route.... hopefully they're better than my local dealer. Said they'd never heard of it, Subaru UK (apparently) had never heard of it.... Strange for something thats in the Subaru Accessories catalogue (or was).

That's pretty much how it was in 2000. Can't help thinking how successful this product would have been with proper marketing, dealer support and insurance company approval.

Don't know if this has been posted before, but looks like the original Deadlock was Thatcham approved. Which is even more of a mystery why insurers wouldn't recognise it.

Think it's like most things.... you pay them to test it and approve it. If you have lots of products it can get expensive and you have to keep paying to keep it registered.
Then there's no guarantee you'll make your money back or any profit. Would probably help if Subaru/IM had an idea what it was though. My local dealer said IM and the Parts centre had never heard of it....

How can you loose the pin its not exactly small

Try the dealership bud, I believe it would be a complete kit again tho, you should have a tag with a security number on it for reference, but it may be through diplock only if after a replacement pin, I stick mine in the centre console religiously when it comes out, I couldn't handle it rolling and banging about anywhere else.

Then that's my old car, could you take more care of it please

Did you get given the documentation pack ? I'm sure there was some information in there about the lock. I think you're going to be lucky to just find the pin for sale, I'd start with a main dealer, you never know they may have one lying about in a drawer somewhere.

You have checked that it just hasn't rolled under the seat?

Possibly, it's only a bracket bolted onto the transmission tunnel, the pin then engages somehow with the linkage. On the earlier classic shape cars, it was called Barrier Deadlock and the bracket was welded on. One of the first ever devices to receive Thatcham approval.

I don't know why this never caught on, it really was a great piece of kit and one of the best mechanical ways of increasing security.
