Between 1st January 2015 & 30th September 2015 over 1,250 Land Rovers were stolen - only 33% were recovered. Help to ensure your Land Rover doesn’t join this grim statistical list.
One thing that is common to virtually all stolen Land Rovers is that the column steering lock has been broken. It is normally broken by removing the lock barrel as this is surprisingly quick - the vehicle can then often be started with a screwdriver.
This neat solution is a sleeve for the lock barrel assembly machined out of steel. It is strong enough to prevent the barrel being removed or the end broken off. The best thing about this solution is it’s completely passive - i.e. nothing to lock or unlock. It stays permanently fitted to the vehicle providing 24 hour protection and deterrent value.
The column lock will fit all Defenders LHD or RHD - up to 2014, including Puma/Tdci. One exception is that some ex-military vehicles do not have a
steering lock. While the column lock will fit -
it serves no purpose as there is nothing for
it to protect.
