cobblers Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I'm currently daily driving a T25 and a Talbot Express camper. I've only got one disklok that'll fit them. It's currently fitted to the Talbot, as the T25 has an immobiliser. I wasn't overly happy with this arrangement as they're both parked on the street. However today I saw a couple of scratters on the CCTV coming up the street (at 10AM!) nosing about and trying the door handle on the camper, so now I'm shitting myself a bit. I really can't afford £120 for another brand new Disklok - I bought one a few weeks ago! I'm fairly certain they'd be unable to get the T25 started, I don't fancy them making a mess of it trying. Help a brother out, has anyone got owt? I've got a small one I could PX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeRover Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I think I shopped around and got mine for about £80 delivered a few years ago. Large is a hard size to find.Can you block them in or loop a chain very visibly round everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 The best I can do is try my best to get them both in a spot outside my house so they're on the camera, hopefully that'll put em off. Even that depends on me getting home from work before everyone else on the street.I've no chain or owt, best I could muster is a combination bike lock! I used to take the steering wheel off my old brown van when it was left for a while, but that's not really practical on stuff you use regularly.

BorniteIdentity Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Cameras are only a deterrent to amateurs and chancers. Get a proper wheel lock, get it modified by a welder because they can still be pryed off and try to block in where possible. Then try not to worry too much. 0ldCh0d 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike60 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I got two from the local plod a few years back at a much reduced rate through the crime prevention officer. I still have one in the loft but think it is probably a medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4mes Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Try Gumtree and eBay, I got both mine off there. I didn't pay more than £20 for each of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo3002 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 stump up and buy one if need be mate...cheaper and less hassle than scrotes busting up your motor trying to steal it , they are a good visible deterent hopefully saving busted door locks etc JohnK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well found, I missed that one today. Collection only though and it's a good £20-25 fuel to get there unless I can borrow the Mrs's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hooli Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I've got a spare kroklock, but they can get around them by lopping a section out the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If you've got insurance you can borrow the 106, it'll do it on about £10 worth of diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Thanks for the offers of help chaps, much appreciated but I don't want to put people out just to save myself £60 or so that I can actually technically afford, I just need to stop being tight. After nosing about the place for some stuff to flog, I found a tuning box for my Abarth and a couple of old amps that I can lob on ebay, so I ended up ordering a brand new disklok today.

spartacus Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Good effort, you've prompted me to buy a disklok for mine. I'm lucky enough to have secure parking at my folks place but when I'm away in it and it's in a car park somewhere it's not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Wheelclamps are worth a mention here, no reason one couldn't be steering wheel mounted, I've found it quite easy to pick up a couple for free, have to provide your own padlock mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
