Does anyone know if the regular "Stoplock Original Car Steering Wheel Lock" fits an RRS steering wheel? The 4x4 version looks more for Land Cruisers!

I was about to get one of these but reliably informed they are disabled in no time so useless - I don't want to publish how here but my source has first hand experience |

Yes, I've decided not to get this too following further analysis. I mean, if they want my car enough to use £5,000 worth of electronics to clone a key then I'm sure they would know how to whip off the Stoplock... yet day to day use of it is a pain in the doo dah.

They may be easy to get off but the way I look at it is, maybe they will see it and think sod it I'll go nick the one down the road that ain't got one. |

They're willing to fork out £5k for the tool to program a key and can remove the steering lock as quick as the owner so not sure it will really put them off |

Hi ilard, if you're after a lock it would be worth getting a disklok. Like you said it's bit of a pain to keep using one and its bulky but a good deterrent, you'll need to measure the steering wheel I think it's a medium that fits. But I agree I wouldn't waste my money on a stoplock |

I have heard the disklock can damage the steering wheel - does anyone have any information regarding this |

I use a disk lock on my Focus RS. It can leave indentations on the leather but they pop out in no time. You can buy a steering wheel cover to stop that, or just use a pillow case.

Same here. Its bit of a pain but if it deters them it's worth it. |

I use it on my Defender all the time, and am now thinking of one for the Sport. I am concerned about them damaging the steering wheel...
