Land Rover's Now Uninsurable

I know that. But when mine was stolen without the keys one of Land Rover's senior people called me to insist at length that they had no security problem whatsoever. Not even a little one. In fact to even suggest such a thing was nonsense.
Absolute rubbish. There is an issue and they bloody well know it, all the manufacturers know it, they just won't publicise it, it could and would lead to many forms of insurance claims etc. Unfortunately for the time being nobody really has managed to get around that specific problem, although you can get cobra systems on top which apparently stop it in some way (not entirely sure on about the ins and outs of it). They're just covering their arses.

Tempted to go for the (LR-approved) Trackstar Advance cat 6 tracker and secondary immobiliser... with this fitted the car can't be started with the key alone (original or cloned) as the immobiliser requires a separate RFID unit to be detected in addition to the key itself...
Anyone gone this route?

Ive heard of owners going down the Cobra cat 5 or 6 tracker and other immobiliser routes, that and locks for the steering wheel! Sucks that you have to shell out yet more money, but you may as well! Anyone gone this route?

Anybody purchased an OBD port lock yet? I'd be interested in recommendations.
I fitted one of these last weekend: http://www.protectavan.co.uk/vehicles/land-rover/d...Full thread here: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic131176.html
