Default In Car security! what to get

I bought my first Cosworth last night and I plan on keeping hold of the basturd. I was considering buying a Diskok for it, is it the best to get or are there better available. Also where should I get one from?

I use Snap-off steering wheel while parked up for the night, or a Disklok elsewhere.

The Snap-off wheel helps me sleep soundly at night, joyride THIS motherfuckers

most people who nick cars hang on the arm on the disclock to brake the steering column then saw the arm off as they can still drive with just the disclock on,,many a car has gone near me with a disclock,,, stealthbomber has the right idea

A hint for those not sure about getting a Snap-off steering wheel: you look WAY less dumb if you have a record bag or similar to keep the steering wheel in. Cos you look WELL silly carrying a steering wheel about, even just from your car to your front door

The disc lock isn't fixed to the wheel so will just spin around the steering wheel incased inside.

The best method is to layer your security. Cat 1 alarm and immob (best you can afford, disclock with mod etc
