Safeguard my investment

Post by UKJames »

Hi all,

Instead of fitting an expensive vehicle tracking system, like for example the COBRA TRAK 5 (UK Thatcham approved) at a cost of about £650 sterling plus service and maintenance costs thereafter; can anyone suggest a way in which I could immobilise the ignition circuit on my 1994 T5, so that it could not be stolen. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James.

Splice into the power wire to the ignition switch and run it to a rocker switch hidden under the dash.
