I guess anything can be done to defeat these things but if the steering wheel is in bits I'd like to think the car wont be going very far.
For the old cars I use other old-fashioned measures as well, which include a battery isolation switch, removing the rotor arm, and lifting the HT leads away from the plugs.
You'll never stop these low-life bar-steward scumbags having a go but if you can slow them down quite a lot they might just leave if its all taking too long.

Exactly the same reason I dont have one on my MG Midget. I chose the StoplLock Pro Elite but even that sn't great. I'm now eying the
Milenco Lock
I noticed this is used by owners of expensive classics where both cockpit space and storage space is restricted
Thanks for the link, Max.
"Milenco have taken a classic designed High Security Steering Wheel Lock which was originally approved to the Thatcham standard and completely reengineered it, to enhance its security, so it would pass and exceed the Sold Secure Gold Automotive standard, which is 2 and half times tougher than the Thatcham Standard.
Following of the termination of the Thatcham security standard, which was only 120 second, attack tested, Milenco have had this approved to the Gold Sold Secure standard which is far tougher test with an extreme 300 second, professional attack.
We are confident this is the strongest and most secure steering lock ever made. It has a unique innovative design, that allows for fast and easy fitment in just a few seconds. It comes with 3 x High Security keys which are both durable and highly reliable.
It has exceptional quality features which include the best pick-proof, ultra-high security with a built in locking mechanism, steel construction to resist from sawing and freezing. The locking mechanism has been re-engineered making it far easier to line up and consequently much easier to fit."
For some reason, the yellow is £3 cheaper than the silver.
I wonder if it would clash with Kinetic Yellow. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Me too sort of. I had a big red key battery isolator on my old 7 but now that's gone, I've gone for something a bit more discreet on the Eunos and have a proper key barrel lock isolator. Can still be bypassed but they'd have to rummage around sorting electrical cables. My other deterrent on that is the quick release steering wheel. Yes I look a bit of a fool wandering around with a steering wheel, but it's easily tucked away if I've got a rucksack with me.
If it wasn't for modern day airbags and gubbins I'd probably go the same way with the Jimny. One has to have a few creature comforts and protection though.
