    My S3 has door locks, 79 model, now where the keys are is a total other matter.
    As for someone pinching it? Good luck guys, it'll try to kill you first gear change., First corner, first time you try to slow down.

    security...

    never had anything stolen out of fozzy for 3 years, no door tops so no point in locking it.

    vehicle security only ever stops the honest theives. If they want it badly enough there is ALWAYS a way.

    HAHA Very true, and very cute! I went the Bullmastiff security option, softest friendliest 60 kilos of loving cuddly slobber available.
    But step back from the gate and his head hanging over the top sure does work on deterring the would be criminals.

    I haven't lost tools or a lawnmower since getting him, and no trips down to the cashaway to re-claim my own stuff! That is a massive win.

    A mate of my Uncle had a soft top LWB series Landy back in the day

    He used to leave all his work tools in the back, along with his 2 German Shepherds.

    Anyway he came back from a few hours in the shopping centre to see these dogs had their jaws wrapped around some blokes arm. They weren't tearing him up but he sure as heck wasn't going anywhere !

    "What the hell is going on here?"

    "Mate I just wanted to pat them...."

    "Well that was pretty damn stupid of you wasn't it!"

    "Yeah, sorry".

    "How long you been there?"

    "About an hour"




    Like I said that was back in the day - nowadays the "victim" would probably sue you for trauma....
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    theft

    I owned two MB ( war time jeeps.)
    I used to drive one to parties in Brisbane when I lived in Montville.
    I carried a shifter and when I got to Brisbane I simply unbolted the steering wheel and it went to many parties. and I never lost the jeep.
    Would you steal an MB jeep? No , I thought not.

    PADLOCK

    My Father came up with a simple but effective device for his Series 2A. When you park select reverse gear, he then places a padlock around the gear stick which links to an eyebolt through the back of the auto choke thingy (any help?).

    I used to live in a bad suburb near Perth CBD years ago. I got really sick of buying quarter Windows for my Ute from getting broken into by deros looking for loose change. In the end I just left it unlocked and the transfer case in neutral never had a problem again. Would a series landy really be a target for theft?? If your really worried I recon the hidden kill switch is the best idea
