Some bas'''d stole my friend's T25 camper, I can't believe it... so, she and I have decided security is the key. When she gets her new van... Bob's replacement, she intends to fit extra security, and I intend to do the same on my van now! So, help please! I know that this should be a 'pm' job, so will await responses there - what we'd like to fit is a remote controlled switch on the starter, os that possible? What wire to attatch it to? Where? Etc... any help would be most appreciated!
Oh, and as a matter of interest, what do you think I should insure my rust free westfalia poptop 1982 Aircooled basically A1 condition van for?
Thanks!
Panic!!

Van Security::: Try something obvious and very mechanical such as a Wheel Clamp on a front wheel or a Disclock on the steering wheel or even a Clutch Claw that will hold both the clutch and the brake together, or just a simple good quality ground anchor used to secure motorbikes attached to the steering wheel.
If you do nothing then you can only blame your self as these vehicles are not the hardest machines in the world to get into without causing any damage....
There was a spate of vans going missing from the Manchester area at this time of year a couple of years ago and only one of six was ever recovered,,,,,
