Changed oil filter, rotor filter, air filter, oil, fixed rear led indicator, replaced rear mud flaps (previous ones were crudely cut around exhaust) (twice, didn't like the first position!!), refitted roof rack by trimming overhanging inner tube (previous owner bodged), changed all external...

Stop thefts by stop buying second hand parts?

If thieves want it they will have it, but a roller shutter can not be done quietly!!! And you can't see through it!!!

Just read the pictures!!! Thanks! I'm going to get a set or two and mark every new part I buy!!! I've decided I am not going to buy any second hand parts so as not to fund any potential thief!!

Hi it's done! My only thing is that a number plate is instantly recognisable to the vehicle and everything else on it!

One quick question, is the number plate displayed on the labels?? I hope so! If it is I will buy it!!

Thanks, seen similar on eBay, cheaper but less visual, a visual deterrent is best!!

That's great I'm going to buy one! I'm trying to stop mine being taken by amateur thieves and that will only leave the professionals, they will take it regardless of all the security you have, but I am going to make it worthless as parts aswell!!

A lockable bollard is the first visible obstacle even before they get to the car! I've had nice cars and it's never bothered me too much if they were still on the drive in the morning, but now it is paramount that it's there!

It is just ane extra peace of mind and I a highly visible deterrent, like you I have a four legged alarm and thief eater, a great big black great Dane!! Ha

I know a remove able bollard can be removed in minutes, but I think it is a visible deterrent and just another obstacle for the thieves to overcome, I wonder if I could put a tilt alarm inside the bollard??? I've always wanted a defender and now all I think is how I can keep hold of it!!!!

Hi, got the hulk, downloaded OS maps and when my kids go back to school, and missus at work, I won't have any 'work' and me and a mate will be on the plain, any advice on good places to go??

Thanks Geoff. Amazed at the comradeship of landy owners, every defender I see I get a wave and nod, on here I am amazed at the helpfullness of members.

Thanks!! Very helpful and reassuring!! Can't wait for my manual to get lego building!!! Will have to get bungs! Thanks Empi

i am new to this, Manual on the way, the defender is like a big set of lego, however there's sone bolts missing from underneath is this okay???

Taking in all the advice on how to deter thieves from taking my defender, it seems the more mechanical/alarms they have to go through the better, but a determind thief will always try, but they will always case out the vehicle several times and possibly follow it, take photos of suspicious...

An alarm is a great deterrent and also a mechanical visible deterrent like a shotgun in your bedroom window!!

I will sleep easier once this is fitted.

I'm getting a lockable bollard fitted!

Hours of Internet trolling in one thread, perfect thanks!
