Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

[Darren S]

Not sure why I've been having some concerns of late - but it has crossed my mind to get some form of security deterrent for the 182 in the form of a DiskLok or similar.

Just wondering what people's views and experiences are? I know full well that they won't stop someone determined - but if it makes them think twice, then it's a big positive as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah get one fitted, I use the disclok type, and agree yes it can be removed but you'll need to put in a little more effort

I use a steering wheel lock bar on the 5 series

Mainly because it's easy enough to clonme a key via OBD and I can't be arsed with the hassle of claiming on insurance. Its a small deterrent that might make someone think otherwise

I rate the Disklok I have got.
It's a worthwhile investment and something you can hopefully move on to next car in the future (providing the wheel is a similar size)

I rate disklok a lot I had one on my 172 got lazy a few weeks running and couldn't be arsed to fit it.

Had car from new 2002 was kicked in 2015 dislok was in the boot

So from that i would say they are definitely a detterent

I use a disk lock on my Civic. Just becomes routine and takes no time at all. Store it underneath the passenger seat.

Disklok all day long, fairly solid/too much hassle for most twockers.

You can get a nice bag with velcro on to store in the boot, saves them flying all over the car.
