I find them a pain to live with, but they are effective.  I get mine secondhand for about £30 or £40.

Disconnect the battery....and its free (technically you will need a spanner though so not 100% free) but not great if you have a powered emobiliser or a stereo that needs to keep its memory.

As above, we have one on all the cars in the family.  A few years ago a some local scum follwed us into the house and threatened my step daughter for the keys to my daily car.  By the time I was aware of what was going on and rushed out onto the drive they were in the car and trying to get it started.  Apart from the fact that they were too dumb to figure out how it started, the biggest issue they had was the dislok which they couldn't get off in their rush, even with the key*.  As I came out they bolted leaving me with a car, thankfully. Without the disklock the car would have gone, even with it's CAT 3 Alarm & immobiliser.  Best £50 I've ever spent on security, but for me you should never skimp on security whatever the cost.

 

* I'm not daft enough to leave the disklock key on the car key fob, but they took all my house keys, the lot.

When I bought mine, it had a steel ring welded to the floor under the drivers seat, with a heavy duty chainlink that was padlocked through the steering wheel lol.

 

Its a pain to just bend in to unlock with a key, let alone try and steal. Crude, but works a treat.

Thanks guys some um interesting ideas there lol will be looking into a disklok I think

[james962]

Battery cut off switch, removable steering wheel boss. If you are running a dizzy, take out the rotor arm

[Kieranlee999]

How about this for security.

On a side note, when I swap my auto for a manual, I am going to rework the auto starter inhibitor switch and make a physical switch hidden somewhere in the car.

 

Most people just join the wires out on a conversion, but any thieves will be buggered starting mine, even if I sat and watch them for half an hour with the keys.

I've got... 

A Disklok

Lots of cut off/immobiliser switches in various hidden locations in the car (a potential thief would never find all of them)

Standard car steering lock

A Series spares alarm and immobiliser 

 

Only takes me about half an hour to start the car every morning.. only to realise I've left the fuel pump cut off switch switched off when I brake down 50 yards down the road.
