WHS.
Except for the crocodile on the rear seats & the tiger in the boot. I used to have them the other way round but the tiger kept sharpening her claws on the seats. Lousy tigers!!!!!
I use a steering wheel lock although I have never gone so far as to remove the steering wheel altogether in the style of Mr Bean.

did you ever think maybe everyone on the thread is misleading you RE their security precautions :shock:
Removing the rotor arm must be about the cheapest and most effective precaution. Assuming your average car thief is below a ceratin age, they won't even know what a distrubuotor or rotor arm is. Even if they do, what's the chances that they have the right type of arm with them anyway? Even if the do have an arm, will they know the bonnet release is in the driver's glovebox to open the bonnet and get at the engine? Then they would perhaps not realise they need to pull the choke out to start the car (and you would hear them cranking the engine over over for 5 min. till the battery was dead :twisted: :twisted: ).
In case your thinking that I have foolishly explained how to nick a P6. I haven't mentioned the #??#&&!!! or even the ''::?/£&*! built in security devices.
Unless soemone's nicking your car because they specialise in classic "removals", aforementioned thieves below a certain age won't be interested in nicking an "old codger's motor"
When the builders had to move Sparky, they tried to start him for a few minutes then gave up and pushed him out of the door. The complained to my wife that he had 2 ignition keys :shock:
I discovered that they were trying to start it with the drivers knee bin key - and I trusted them to build a garage!

Good old Practically carsick magazine did an article a couple of years ago using an old mobile phone wired in to the battery via its car charger lead. This can be set to silent mode and hidden somewhere in the car when you need it. There are internet websites who will locate your phone for a small fee if you need it, hey presto, cheap tracker. Sounds a bit heath robinson, but it isn't a permanent installation, and most phones can be tracked to within 150 feet allegedly. Handy if your pride and joy goes missing. Not convinced though... :?
My car came with a gear lever to handbrake lock which I found in the boot (I wondered why it had a collar on the gearstick). It looks ok a period extra, as a crime prevention device it is about as much use as a walking stick with a castor on the bottom. I intend to wire in a simple immobiliser somewhere, until then, if I park anywhere of concern, I'll leave the wife in it.
