I'm amazed nobody has produced a straightforward lock upgrade by now! The lockless central locking is definitely appealing though, thanks chaps. It's amazing how paranoid you get once you've walked round a station car park looking for the landy that's no longer there! I might be getting a bit...

Ignoring the 'how do you get in when the battery dies if you've removed the lock barrels?' question, has anybody done anything with the back door? Either in terms of securing it or hooking it up to central locking?

Ooh that's proper tidy, good job huffhuff - I reckon I'll have a go at that before the alarm goes in. Were all the wires long enough to route round the usual obstacles? Does the control module have to sit somewhere central?

I guess if the rear door is separate you're probably right Bankz - inside or out you can get to them (I'm not used to having pins coming from a military with sliding window type doors!) I'd be very interested in any pics Huffhuff, cheers! I reckon removing the barrels completely might be the...

I had a keyless entry system in an old TVR once. The RAC man had to help pull me out through the window when the fans ran the battery flat in traffic on a hot day... Are the remote c/locking kits straight forward to fit to a Landy then HuffHuff? I've only had one experience fitting them to...

I've had a good rummage for this, but aside from the odd reference to van deadbolts that appear to require a certain amount of metalwork or padlock / hasp systems, I don't think I've found an answer. Apologies if this is one of those questions that comes up time and time again! I won't be...

We like low tech, cheers tacr2man. Sheets of ply might be a bit much for the other half but I reckon a kitchen blind will do it nicely, especially if I can mount it across the tub behind the second row of seats and come up with a couple of hooks by the back door.

Thanks Bluehaze, I'll have a rummage

Ooh stripey, I like it! What does it hitch onto when deployed? I'm thinking with cages either side it should be quite well supported - the kitchen blind route is definitely the most appealing at the moment!

That's not a bad idea. Probably not cheap though. Well if there's no 'off the shelf' route I'll start experimenting a bit - might see if there's a local blind company or a volvo to measure... Funny, given the amazing amount of weird accessories that exist out there I thought someone might have...

I could probably manage one piece of board! I'd just need to add a roof-rack to carry the parcel shelf home if spontaneous loads appear when out and about!

That's them! Can you get those on retractable rollers do you think?

Not sure I'm talented enough in the carpentry department to make a folding ply shelf but the blind / rods idea might do the job. I'm with you Steveo, I'd want it just beneath the windows ideally, as I have a couple of cages that sit on the wheel arches that I'd probably want to use for ropes /...

I swap at half time - ARRIVE with beer, RETURN with cheese and wine to pacify the missus...

Yeah, there is always that! I used to open mine with the end of a teaspoon if I was in the workshop without my keys... This is more about trying to reduce the temptation to open aforementioned chocolate-teapot locks - particularly when coming back from Le Mans with a landy full of booze!

Ello vilguy - tints could be an option, just thought they might look a bit bling on a battered rural landy! You might be onto something with the projector screen though mattlumley - and I was wondering if something like a passat or volvo estate would be the right width / length. I might even...

All of them! Any suggestions welcome, but currently I'm looking at physical (gear lever / pedal locks), electronic (T1 alarm / immob) and a tracker of some sort. Just need to work out if I can carry the wheels to work with me... I'm amazed they got it started, I'd broken the choke that...

... is there such a thing? Has anybody tried to make one or 'adapt' one from another marque, or am I the only person who thinks it might be useful?! Having sadly lost my Military 110V8 soft top of 15 years to thieving scum last month, I'm about to replace her with a 200Tdi 110 County...

Taken on April 17th between 10am and 5pm Taken from Pangbourne Station car park 'Megsy'' (G316 TGF) is a soft-top military 110 V8 in Nato Green & Black DPM colours. Half a raised air intake on the offside wing (the other half is still in the workshop!) Orange IFF tags on n/s wing mirror...

Just a quick hello as it's been a while - I used to hang out here under a different name, but I've forgotten it and changed email addresses so I thought a fresh start was on the cards! Just had my ex MOD 110 V8 nicked from a station car park and about to source it's replacement (my first...
