Hi all,

Does anyone know of, or currently use a good quality wheel clamp that will fit spider alloys? Also what would you say is the best security for your P&J not including alarms and trackers?

Regards

P

Anything like that is just going to be a deterrent, I'd expect the alarm system will do a better job of keeping it where it should be. Also remember if you are leaving the car at home then make sure the keys are locked away somewhere if you are worried, more often than not the house is much easier to break into and then the car can just be driven away with the keys.

Are these really targets for theives? I would have thought they are not expensive enough and too rare - are they not more after M3's, Porkers etc?

I am always far more worried about vandels, and there is not much you can do about them (although there is a great PH thread somewhere about someone locking one in his garage!)

I used to leave my VX220 unlocked with a note saying 'nothing worth stealing' - would rather they used the door handle than break a window!

I have never worried about leaving the car anywhere. If its gonna be nicked its gonna be nicked. But really the community is so small and its not a discrete car to pass on in the market. Alarm and immobiliser is fine IMHO

Thanks for the replies.
I always carry my key with me where ever i go so no problems there, just wanted to add that extra deterrent with a clamp or anything else that people have used in the past and are happy with.

Thanks again
