Slartibartfast Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 The wife (her with the chemistry degree) has suggested using liquid nitrogen to cool and shatter the lock, liquid air may be cheaper to get hold of and will do as well. P.S. If you try this and loose your hands, I didn't tell you. Your wife is Ant Man AICMFP Skizzer 1

xtriple Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 What about the freeze spray you get from plumber merchants and then apply that to the hinge, repeat then hit with FO hammer?
Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Ladbrokes are offering 3:2 that Station will find the key within 20 minutes of removing this disklok Vince70, Joey spud, anonymous user and 16 others 19
Tamworthbay Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Has anyone ever at any point in time managed a job, however large or small, easy or hard with a JUNIOR hacksaw? My understanding of the name junior hacksaw was that they were perfectly safe to give to children on the grounds you could never ever cut anything, not even porridge with them.

Eddie Honda Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I've cut some plastic conduit before with a junior hacksaw. Regardless of whether a hard stare would have done, if you do as your "mama used to say" and "take your time young man", it work's. Vin 1
Jim Bell Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Feeling pretty good about buying my disklok right nowThey're pretty fucking effective for the money. If station was a thief, you would have heard the swearing or the sobbing by now and he would be too exhausted to put up much of a fight if caught in the act. Captain Furious and catsinthewelder 2
Captain Furious Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Not going to lie, I opened the thread with some trepidation expecting to find a "removed it in 10 seconds flat don't bother with diskloks folks" post, but it's encouraging No doubt thieves can get them off, but I think their reputation alone is maybe (hopefully) enough of a deterrent to move onto the next poor bastard without one on
Station Posted June 15, 2016 Author Posted June 15, 2016 I did lose a key for the crooklok on my Micra. After cutting it off with help from heavy hitting WtClaim, I found the key in my MR2.Can anyone with a Micra check under seats for a Disklok key? anonymous user, Slartibartfast, oldford and 3 others 6
HillmanImp Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I will have mentioned a few times before (but that wont stop me doing so again) about the time I went camping and the lock broke on my crooklock at 7am the following morning. Luckily I managed to lay my hands on some hacksaw blades (without the hacksaw) and a mere 2 hours later I had this: I then drove home with the lock on the wheel like this praying I didn't see any old bill. When I eventually got it off I used an angle grinder. I put some cardboard over everything inside the car but some fell off the windscreen which will probably still be felt if you stroke the inside of the windscreen next time you see Barefoot in what is now his Scirocco. barefoot, Conrad D. Conelrad and Station 3
beko1987 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Its a good ad for a disklok, someone should send the thread to them
twosmoke300 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 They would say that they would send you a key if you emailed them the number stamped onto the lock 😄
Eddie Honda Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I'll have to look in that burnt out DAF sometime and see what the Disklok is like...
Faker Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 And to think some twat at thatcham got one off in two or three minutes during approval!! I've three diskloks, good purchase me thinks
Angrydicky Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 There's one on eBay at the moment for £20 start in Rochford. Might be a good idea to get it for the Sierra Base, I tried a Stoplock on it but it won't go over the steering wheel cover. The Maestro's Disklok fits perfectly though, and after what happened to my mate's Sierra, I don't want to take any chances with it. Skizzer and Jim Bell 2

UltraWomble Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Surely you keep the key on the same bunch as your car keys? Or is that too simple?
Eddie Honda Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 You're supplied more than one key anyway. (I say that, as I can't remember/unsure if they ever did them with 3 keys rather than 2)
