Hi all, I’ve got to leave my VW van on a mate’s drive while we’re having building work done.
What are the options regarding steering locks, wheel locks etc? Can anyone recommend something?
Cheers
Jay

Remove the steering wheel if it's not got an airbag and stick in on a pair of axle stands. Make it look like it's not worth the effort to move it.

Nothing will stop the determined but if you can delay that may put them off. Something visible like a steering wheel lock or a wheel clamp type and remove an easily accessed relay, fuel pump or similar.
Traka type kit is pricey but they can usually recover it afterwards if the TGB's haven't found it with cheap Chinese software and a laptop!

Second for Disclock, I've got one for each of my cars. Always park at full lock before putting it on too. If someone really wants it they'll just hiab it tho but it's a diterant

Discloks are good. You need a grinder if you lose your key. Not cheap though. Not cheap but still the best on the market |

Anyone ever used one of the pedal Safe T bar locks? That combined with a disklock seems a reasonable combo. Not cheap though!  |

I've used a Bullock pedal lock on my integrale for the last 20 plus years. 50 quid from a stand they had at the Motor Show one year. Still works perfectly every time.
Locks the brake and clutch pedal together, and holds both off the floor.
