Steering column lock protector

Steering column lock protector One thing that is common to a lot of stolen Land Rovers, especially the older ones, is that the column steering lock protector has been forced. It is normally broken by removing the lock barrel as this is surprisingly quick – the vehicle can then often be started with a screwdriver when lock protector is not used. This neat solution is a sleeve for the lock barrel assembly machined out of steel. It is strong enough to prevent the barrel from being removed or the end broken off. The best thing about this solution is it’s completely passive – i.e. nothing to lock or unlock. It stays permanently fitted to the vehicle providing 24-hour protection and deterrent value. The column lock will fit all Defenders LHD or RHD – up to 2014, including Puma/Tdci. If you have a MOD Land Rover then this is not necessary, as they don't have wheel locks.
