Who uses steering locks and what do you use?
I'm still using a disc-lock i used on my last scoob five years ago! It completely covers the wheel and seems to work well but storage is a pain in the **** behind the passenger seat Anyone use anything a bit easier to store and fit??

I got it until i tracked down a DiPol gearbox lock (getting that fitted as we speak). I got used to the gearbox lock as my blob had one when i bought it. Thats one of the old lock it in neutral type, the Dipol locks the car in reverse making it harder to take. Not expensive, easy to fit and use and storage isn't a problem.

Yeh it's just a pain in the **** folding it in half and slotting it back into it's carry case behind the passenger seat.. I've chipped the armrest lid too which I'm miffed about.. If anything I just want somethin that's a visible deterrant so that Halfords stop-lock might be a good idea.. I could just drop it behind my seat Does not everyone fit steering locks then?

Disklok is a pain, but it's a great visual deterrent & car thievs hate it. Combined with a good alarm/immobiliser is about as secure as you can be. If there is an easier target they will go for that & if they are determined to take your car they will just take it no matter what.

Disclok saved me evo a few years back. Cat1 alarm was ripped out and car was started! Worth the extra £20-£30 quid IMHO compared to a cheaper alternative

disclock can't beat it. i was told by a profesional locksmith ,who got in wifes fiesta in less than 15seconds (55plate) disclock is the be all and end off , there is no way of removing that without making lots of noise(cordless angle grinder) 15million combinations on lock so not much chance of another key working
