I pick my new puma up in 10 days.
As a minimum on the first day it'll be getting fitted with: - X-Eng Barrell Lock - Shire Fabrications Pedal Lock (that I've modified) - Steering Wheel Lock (Full Face) - ODBII port locked and moved Probably over kill but I'd say the last is a must on any Puma defender. |

In this pictures, the small black clips hold the wheel arch spats on. The connector looks like it may be a side repeater bulb holder thingy? If so, that would tie in the the clips  An engine to TDi for!

Rather than disable the OBD11 port why not relocate it to somewhere more secure, but leave a dummy one in it's place. Then hardwire into the dummy OBD a Lightforce Ballast and Igniter from their HID range. The moment they plug their laptop in it will ignite 25,000 volts through their electric circuit and blow their computer to smithereens!!! It hasn't happened to me yet, but I am waiting......   |

Any 'standard' security item on any vehicle is likely to be less than perfect as their is plenty of info available on the net as to it's position and function.
As has been posted on here and elsewhere many times the best defense is 'layers' to slow the thief down so that they either give up or are detected. I recommend (and regularly install) the following: Move standard alarm sounder X-Eng column lock Skytag GPS tracker Ball bearings in heads of door bolts Relocate ODBII port Additional earth cable internal to battery box Security screws on all light lenses (especially if LED - our SVX kit is supplied with security fixings as standard) Rivet on number plates Moving on to: Additional / replacement alarm system using door switches in different locations to standard It's also worth getting into the habit of 'applying' the standard steering lock especially if fitted with the X-eng product I sincerely hope you get it back or at least get a decent pay out on the insurance |

More than likley it would just break the ODBII plug they were using. More likley would be I'd forget to tell the dealer and they'd be looking at me for a new computer for the workshop when I picked the car up. |

Had my defender 110 stolen of my drive way in Wallasey Afew weeks ago. I have found similar thing where the car was. I even think I have a rough idea where the culprit is stationed. I was so gutted
I clicked on that link and its an eye opener.... Does anyone think Land Rover are actually aware of these devices that the thieves are using to drive the defenders off people driveways! |

I read your post with great interest with the thread resurrection as I must have missed it the first time. Whilst it may be exciting at the prospect of zapping someone's equipment with 25,000 volts a simple 12 volt feed to sockets 6 & 14 with an earth on 4 and/or 5 on the dummy socket would achieve exactly the same function without the need to overcomplicate the issue or leave yourself open to recriminations in the event of injury to a toe rag in the course of him having it away with your pride and joy!!! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

OR just cut off the OBD socket, and solder on *another* generic socket (the Durite econoseal are ideal), then solder on the corresponding plug onto the back of the OBD socket, then keep this patch lead well away from your vehicle until you actually need to plug something into the ECU.
That way nomatter what laptops they bring, they won't be able to plug into it. |
