Default Questions about Disklok

Okay, nice and easy questions for you lot! I've done some searching and pretty sure the disklok is the best lock to go for so...

1. I have a MY97 UK Turbo. The steering whell is like a bus wheel! I've measured it at 39cm....will a small Disklok fit (35-39cm)

2. Should I get Silver or Chrome?

3. Where the best place to buy (Argos - £75, Disklok.com = £80 free case) Anywhere cheaper?

4. Is my insurance likley to give any discount for a Cat3 approved Thatcham lock?

Thanks!

1) IIRC from previous posts -and from what it says on the box- Yes

2) Silver IMHO

3) Probably Argos, but you might want to see if your local Halfords has a special on...I got mine in a damaged box for £50

4) Unfortunately, if you have a car that should have a std Cat one alarm/ immobiliser it's highly unlikely that you will. They will be more concerned with your immobiliser/alarm and any trackers fitted. However, you're paying for piece of mind: it is a good deterrent for all but the most determined theives.

Thanks.

Think I will order one. Just as a visible deterent.

Pretty sure I'll go for Silver. Chrome looks ok, but a bit too bling? Oh, the choices!

They are more than a visible deterrent mate, they beat every other steering wheel lock in Police tests and withstood prolongued attack from serious powertools for over 15 minutes.The lock is unpickable too.

I swear by them.
