Thread: Stolen 2001 110 TD5 White Defender Wagon - Laverton, Melbourne

That's the second one, that we know of, flogged from a Melbourne train station, this year.
Is it organised, targeting 20 year old Defenders?
Low life scum, may the fleas of a thousand camels, infest their crutch.

Bugger. So a TD5 Defender has no BCU like the D2 to prevent theft?

I wonder if you could retrofit one?!

Instead of the BCU that a D2 has, they have a unit called "10AS", which provides many similar features, usually including immobilizer and alarm.

An 01 TD5 would have one of these units from factory, however they are not a robust problem free unit, and a lot have failed leaving people stranded.


An aftermarket alarm might be a good investment.

To the OP, that sucks.

I hope it turns up in ok condition for you.

The other one was recovered safe and relatively sound, in a location that suggested that, yes, someone had missed a bus.
Hoping for a similar result here.

Amazing how most people these days ignore alarms. I reckon putting a very high dB siren inside the car might be worth a try.
A high end alarm with connectivity to an app, plus good GPS tracking is otherwise the minimum I think.
