    I am a bit worried about leaving my baby parked in public places and thinking about an immobiliser and maybe armour plates for the doors. What do other members do/use?

    Or could I just put a hidden switch in low tension coil wire?

    what I used to do if area looked a bit dodgy was pull the fuel relay and put it in me pocket

    All of the above to be honest - the armour plates are easy to install, the coil switch would not go astray and I used to pull a fuse to the pump rather than the relay but either way should keep the SOB’s away from the Mk2

    Another vote for a disklok. Great visual deterrent.

    Fit a kill switch in the gear gaiter that is to the fuel pump it will turn over but there wont be any pressure to send fuel to the engine from the tank,
    but if thats not your thing then just pull the relay out.

    Hope this helped

    I guess he means fit a switch under the gaiter that you can't see but can operate if you know it's there.

    I would go disklock plus others above put a blown fuse in in place of fuel pump one but the more visual deterants the better
