    cheers
    I had one of these on the clutch of an old car. If the clutch was used once it was permanently disengaged until the the lock was released. The lock was under the dash. In and out hydraulic lines were run to the lock.

    Lock the handbrake

    Hello from Bulawayo.

    There is a bit of kit being sold in the UK (GBP40 - as usual the postage is a killer) that is basically a laser cut flat oval steel ring with a couple of small flanges sticking out from the sides at right angles. This bolts over the aperture in the seat box that the handbrake level comes through. The two flanges each have a central hole and when the brake level is pulled on you can slip a long hasp padlock through the holes and under the lever - this immobilizes the truck because its transmission/rear shaft is locked up.

    However, a couple of bits of angle iron with holes in each of the faces - two to bolt through the seat box either side of the brake aperture secured with cup head bolts and the others to take the padlock hasp - would achieve the same effect for less cost.

    Cheers,

    Just be grateful that your local scumbags do not come along with a HIAB, or a trailer and then there is battery powered `Mr Angry Grinder'

    Yes LR thefts are a major problem, sometimes doors, bonnet, seats etc removed whilst vehicle is sat on owners drive. A real bummer when vehicle is 1 week old

    I came across this on Facebook this morning which looks like it would work in most cases & they are working on one for Series Land Rovers as well. Maybe a license build arrangement could be obtained for Australia as postage would be a killer.

    It is called a Rat Trap by Spinney Engineering - website coming soon apparently.
