Disklok, is this right?

..SIGH

I'm not saying there's is anything wrong with it, I'm saying it is OBSOLETE with my car, which it is. That it doesn't work as effectively with this model as it does with other cars, which it doesn't. They don't have to remove it, they can just drive down the road with it, even Disklok have stated this in the email they replied to.

Just stop now, you're an obvious troll and I refuse to reply to trolls. Bye!

I think he is saying that in reality, they wouldn't even try to attack the lock. They would literally cut the steering wheel on either side of the lock.

Or just drive off down the road with it!

Disklok said the same sort of thing, are they trolls too?

Nope, they were respectful and didn't try to start an argument. The question over the suitability of the product is not the issue, people can disagree, it's the way some people speak to other people.

They agreed that you could grab the wheel behind the lock. You can drive with it on, people have testified to this and I've also done it myself. It also seems that the rep didn't have experience with this vehicle.

Anyway, this is beyond the point. I bought the item because it was represented as one that could stop someone from driving off with my car, it doesn't work like that with my car and is therefore not a suitable product for what I want.

get a bulldog wheel clamp, at least for home. Work a treat.

Couldn't they remove the wheel? Isn't alloy theft quite common?

Not being funny but get a motor that's less likely to be nicked there is no security device that will stop your car getting stolen if someone wants it bad enough.

No you're absolutely right. Obviously some are more suited to the car you're driving than others. I might have a look at the mod someone mentioned. My friend is a welder so he could do this for me relatively quickly.

Here is the mod people do.

On a Ford forum people have been talking about this issue and have come up with this solution as another helpful poster pointed out.



I've contacted my welder mate, he should be able to do this for me. That would make it impossible to grab the back of the wheel which would sort the issue out completely.

I don't know what it's all about to be honest.

Could welding a couple more inches to the length of the arm at the same time as you do the welding on the back, to make it hit the console/windscreen/gear lever etc. Just make sure you'll still be able to fit it in the first place though!

Yea I'll measure it out. I'll probably have to fit it on the same place every time. I might get one of those dash cams too, one that can stream to a server on a rolling system.
