Theftstop Bear lock. It's a lock that locks the shifter into park or 1st gear. It is fitted under the centre cover so you only see the keylock. I also have that huge steering wheel disklok. I have considered the Ghost but it may invalidate your warranty, they advised me to check
Following on from another thread re storing a Disklok I thought I would ask if anyone had modified or tweaked their Ovano system to meet their needs. Any additions, bolt ons, tips for loading out. Tips for use.
These seem very very popular for obvious reasons
I quickly set up a golf umbrella...
IMO the purpose of a Disklok (or similar) is to encourage a would-be opportunist thief to think again - it's not to prevent theft by a determined professional who's stealing to order. That being the case, having my key on the van keyring is perfectly adequate and my Meta Trak, with remote...
Okies, I pick up my van on Friday and have bought the diamond Disklok and will have the 'bear lock' fitted soon.
I've spoken to Dav-Tec and they've advised against having the Ghost Immobiliser fitted due to problems with having Metrak and Ghost installed and 3 different systems to work together...
Do you work for Disklok?... You know you can get these things off with relative ease with the correct tools right?
I bought it as a first line of defence, more so visual and the opportunistic scroat to help prevent the inevitable damage to door locks prior to finding out they can't get the van...
Nope it's already here and most definitely small.
Hopefully you (both) get yours sorted.
I was a bit surprised however that I could still grip the steering wheel from the back of the disklok. It would definitely be a hindrance to drive, but stop completely...:confused::whistle:
Ours is a disklok and it works well for us and as advised by a fellow T6 forumite it stores really well if pushed in flat in between the two front seats under the handbrake hope that helps
Disklok every time,
I joke that if I am not within touching distance of the van then the disklok is in place.
Highly visible so I reckon it's a great deterrent, the toe-rag eyeing up your pride and joy doesn't know what else you have installed that they cannot see.
Only takes seconds to put...

Fair enough - I don't pretend to know the specifics of your use case, only [what I believe to be] the most secure steering wheel lock on the market.
In terms of an immobiliser and tracker, I can personally recommend a Meta Trak S5 Deadlock Pro, which combines both functions, plus OBD port...
...that the device, fitting plus lifetime subscription will add.
If I didn't go with a tracker i'd still be planning to get something like a Disklok plus a wheel clamp I think, i certainly wouldn't go without any extra security, though the van is a highline so comes with an anti-theft alarm for...
The MetaTrak has an immobiliser as part of it. I didn't advise against ghost. Perhaps you misunderstood I advised against having both, Ghost has its place but it's not for everyone and can be problematic with new users.
I think they look ugly and a faff to put on.....
A few options here :

I have this picture in my head of @Bav sat in his armchair looking out of the front window at his nice new driveway, cup of tea in one hand and disklok in the other, just waiting for his van to turn up :slow rofl:
