Hi All, we have a new Roller team T590; prior to collection had tracker and external door locks fitted, which we are happy with, but OH wants more, question to you all is what to add, wheel clamp or steering lock. Van is kept on drive, be very interested in advice please

In addition to the usual I fitted a high security U lock to the rotating steel bases of the cab seat. I can now lock the drivers seat facing the habitation and with its back tight up against the steering wheel. It's well hidden and inaccessible without destroying the seat to anyone with an angle grinder. I even have difficulty removing it even with the key. Not infallible but an extra few minutes would be needed to remove it. It's just one of several little extras I've added to foil that would be thief as best possible!

Agree HD but if they want it badly enough they are prepared to ignore all but the most sophisticated deterrents. One thing that is definitely worth doing is get the best anti theft deterrents you can. In my view a good Category 1 immobiliser has to be first choice.

I suppose, if you really want to protect your pride & joy you could always research a 1955 Daimler Ferret ex RAF armoured scout car.
They were fitted with a switch in the cab which Electrified the Whole Body !! You would know when an attempt on the T590 was being made / foiled from the screams I suppose !!
