Series 3 Kill switch

my brother had all this and the Barst**ds must have used a crane and lifted it over a gate!

Hello again, in an effort to educate myself I am reading up on my series 3 wiring. Looking at this diagram, am I right in saying the positive side of the ignition coil is not fused?

I had a petrol with a hidden switch once it would have taken a while for someone to find.

as said, the main danger if you get your truck to the valuable stage is someone coming with a hoist recovery truck and just lifting it on to the back

Yes, you are correct, the coil isn't fused. The coil doesn't need much in the way of amperage.

That comes back to where you park it.
No one is going to ‘sneak’ up with a crane capable of lifting a Landy!

You could add to the previous list - if the vehicle is going to be left somewhere with no occupancy nearby, find a temporary place that has.

I’m just off to sink a 5 ton shackle into the concrete base my truck stands on!! Lolol

There's a lot to be said for ground anchors. A few years ago there was a gang stealing 1990s Mercs and shipping them to Africa. They had Merc overalls, a trailer and recovery winch and they took them all in broad daylight during the day. They were caught at their yard after containers were intercepted, they were never stopped during a robbery.

it is such a good cover, properly painted up truck, overalls and hi vis, anyone walking past doesn't bat an eyelid.

whenever I have had a broken down car recovered, no one has stopped and said I hope you aren't nicking that.

Another thing that will help is putting all the lever's in Neutral
Gear lever, Hi / Low lever and if fitted O/D lever

A few years back a car had broken down on our local by-pass. A recovery truck pulled up, winched on and went, turned out they were chancers stealing it! Never got caught.
