Question

With car cime in general on the up & performance cars especially, I thought of investing in the DiscLok that covers the steering wheel completely. In idependent tests It took upto 17 Mins to comprimise & is Cat3 recognised & costs around 79 pounds. Will it help deter the thief or not.
Cheers
Dean

I've got one. They reckon you need power tools to get it off (or thats what they said when they came out!)

Nice robust bit of kit.

Ditto above - also if you go to DiscLok website you can buy stuff online, like a decent bag to chuck the thing in that also velcros to your carpet...

They are the best steering wheel deterent , though you can drive a bit with it on . Much better than ones that don't cover the whole wheel as it's fairly easy to get some of them off! got mine from rsoc national day for £40 at the end of day !

Good bit of kit... but be careful taking it off... easy to bash your own car with the thing whilst putting it away

Great bit of kit and a good visual deterent.

Ordered mine online and got a free storage bag. The bag has velcro strips on the back that stick to the carpet in the boot, will not budge no matter how hard you corner

I got mine off the net, put a search in for Disklok and came up with Motormec (01502 500590)who actually specialise in BMW parts, but sell the Diskloc for £65 inc vat & delivery.

I have one too, its just a little bit extra piece of mind and hopefully a deterent to some lowlifes.
On the Thatcham cat 3 thing, i was hoping i might get a discount on insurance using this, they are quick enough to add to the premium for mods!! .. but nope, they didn't recognise it!! ... i explained how it is a Thatcham cat 3 device ... stupid of me for asking really!!

It's one of the few Thatcham approved deterrents on the market. I've got one for the 300ZX and £80 is not much to spend if it means you keep your car.

No matter what measures you take nothing is safe - see stolen Evo.
I think that of all of the mechanical immobilisers this is the best but don't fool yourself into thinking that you car cannot be stolen.
