    Nice, this is something I explored previously, but couldn't find a tracker I liked. Do you have a link to the tracker you used?

    These, you can get cheaper from other sellers but these are the real deal from Endeavour trading on eBay, he is a very reliable seller with good product backup and knowledge.

    If your concern is about it when parked in your garage for extended periods, rather than something to secure it routinely every time you leave it, a suggestion that occurs to me is to keep a spanner handy in it to fit the adjuster on the handbrake. A couple of clicks on that, and it isn't going anywhere. If you are reasonably agile, it is about thirty seconds to do/undo, or, to make it easier, fit a hinged cover under the centre seat and it can be done from inside.

    Thanks goingbush - this is exactly the kind of thing I was after. It's not a panacea but it's a good complement to the AirTag already on the car.

    I drive it once or twice a week, so this might be a bit much. Especially given it's already got a battery isolator and I leave the transfer case in neutral. These days I suspect the fact that it's manual would be a good deterrent, too...

    So I've seen ;-)

    Thanks everyone for the interest and advice. Some great ideas in here. Open to more if you've got them!

    Ive also put Electronic Parking brakes on my Series 3 SWB, And a covert switch that isolates the controller.

    I was always worried that someone could release my handbrake and roll the vehicle down my driveway , (but, trust me, they'd never be able to start it)

    Its not going anywhere now. These suckers lock the rear wheels solid.
