    Ratty's Poll - Security devices.

    Good idea. Put several up. Nobody is to know if you put them up after they fell in the pit.

    Ratty's Poll - Security devices.

    A pal of mine had a big workshop with a proper pit in it. One morning he opened up the workshop and found someone had broken in at the back. He heard moaning and found the scrote lying in the pit with 2 broken legs.......RESULT! Only problem was that the git sued him and cost him a lot of...

    Trunk monkey

    Might be new for recently joined members.... anyway they keep adding new ones, I saw 2 today that I'd not seen before. Though to be fair they had nothing to do with car theft.

    Look up Trunk Monkey on Google if you want to see how to deal with car thieves.

    Detect thieves before they break in.

    I had one of them once but I did not think the ding dong was loud enough. One good thing about it was that it would work in daylight, though I don't think the light would come on in daylight it would still chime. Funny you should say 3am, as quite a few of my activations on the bell system I'm...

    Detect thieves before they break in.

    If you park on your drive or your garden at night, this idea will give you more peace of mind... though no good if you park in the street. Presumably you will have at least one PIR security light on the front of your property (hopefully mounted high enough for no one to be able to reach it and...

    Portable 12v compressor

    I bought a good one from Halfords about 2 years ago. It's a Michelin one and circular with a digital read out, which you can set to PSI or BARS. It plugs into the cigar lighter socket and the lead stows away in the base. It also has a built in light. Cost about £42.

    Security etching glass

    I bought 2 sets of these acid etch marking tapes years ago for my Series III station wagon so I had enough of the tapes to mark all the window glasses including the alpine lights (long narrow windows) in the roof. Oh... and I also marked the headlamp glasses and the speedo glass and the fuel...

    Ratty's Poll - Security devices.

    How about buying the blank cartridges ? Some of us don't hold firearms licences, do we need a licence to buy the cartridges ?

    Great security mod and cheap.

    What we need is a sticker that says something like ' WARNING... imobiliser and alarm system fitted, brand not declared following security advice. ' They won't know what you have fitted, or even if you have an alarm at all. I think that you need to display subtle clues for the maggots so that...

    Carrying spare parts in your Landy

    It's good to have a pair of boots in the back. I was in my Series III once when one of my rear axle halfshafts broke. I had just driven up a hill and was about to stop at the crossroads at the top when it happened. I put the handbrake on and started to get out of the vehicle, but it began to...

    Carrying spare parts in your Landy

    Well, I think I did fit it within a week. It's a bit too noisy otherwise. On another occasion I drove about for a couple of days with no floor panels and no transmission tunnel panel..... now that was really noisy. On re-assembling it all, I fitted the transmission tunnel panel after the...

    Great security mod and cheap.

    I thought it was a good suggestion and one that I will certainly fit one or two myself. But I do agree that scum bags would have also read this post. Best plan is to fit the units where they are hidden and hard to attack. It buys you time to get to the vehicle and sort out the gits. However...

    Carrying spare parts in your Landy

    I used to carry a spare gear leaver in my Series III, after my wife broke the stick off at the end of our road (she actually left the Series there and walked back home even though it was still in second gear). I walked down the road and drove the Series back home...Simples ! A few years...

    Trailer light.

    Of course. It's confirmation that this warning light will flash when your trailer electrical lead is plugged in. The same light will flash in time with the indicators on the towing vehicle when you are towing.

    Sonar? May well be a stupid question...

    If the unit measures the depth down to the river bed you may be safe on a firm river bed or bed rock. But if it measures to the surface of deep mud or loose shifting gravel then your vehicle will sink in till it reaches a layer that will support it. There may be problems with deep ruts that...

    wheres your old landy now???

    Go on the DVLA website to check the vehicles taxation status. You choose the manufacturers name (Land Rover) from a menu and then type in the reg number. You will see then if it is taxed, so you will know it's still around. Of course, as has already been said; the vehicle registration may...
