Question Should I Get A Disklok ?????

Hi all,

Really really can't make my mind up about buying a Disklok for the Scoob !!

I already have the standard Cat1 alarm, Tracker Monitor and Clifford Blackjax.
Do I really need anything else ??

Is the Disklok really worth the money or is it just another inconvenience when getting in and out of the car ??

I have seen a small silver one for sale on Ebay at 52.99 plus P+P with a free carry case.

What should I do ????

Mark.

I think everthing extra helps. If they want your car bad enough they will get around it, but why make it easy for the scum?

Hi Mark

It makes sense to have a visual deterent too, the disk lok is the best of the lot and in my mind worth the hastle and cost...all helps mate althouth they are bulky buggers!!

As already mentioned, a visual deterant will help.

I've got one on each car. When I leave them I've got more peace of mind than if I didn't

I agree it is a bit bulky and Costco are the cheapest place to get one if you can get in there in the first place. I've got a yellow one as I had no choice when I bought my one. My thinking is that if you have it fitted a t-leaf will not bother and look at the next car without one.

I've got one on mine.

Its not really an inconvenience for me. Once you get used to it (doesn't take long! ) it actually takes about 7 seconds to remove and about 4 seconds to put it on.

Default easy

I leave my car unlocked anywhere........ simple 3 steps

1) Tint windows( so they can't see your suprise)
2) Get rear seat cover( gotta look after it after all!)
3) Leave to 2 Rotties on the back seat.

... Bingo!

It's a bit like sport.. even if theres two of them they've gotta be good to take on total of 17Stone of Dog.

Yes, and the silver ones make your scoob 10mph faster

Serisouly, a nice big Visable Deterent and the silver ones look cool. Gives me a bit extra peace of mind when I leave My scoob anywhere.

you only need the 'small' one....I wonder how big a steering wheel you'd need for a large Disklok....must be for double-decker buses!
