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!

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.

you say 5grands worth of kit but is it really, when I worked in a main dealers for a well known ( ) French car manufacturer the tool for diagnosis, coding ect was called clip, it was a pretty basic OBD2 to USB adaptor on a very basic laptop they even had on connected to a old hand held tablet, the software was usually on discs in the bottom of the trolly.

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...
