Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Same as mine,i've also got a toggle switch for cut off with a red flip cover over the top. Premier wiring systems supplied and only a few £
too,i think jasper and hicost have the same so no shortage of wiring info for your electrician.

Available from CPC.co.uk - They also hava a nice looking, waterproof to IP65, stainless steel pushbutton under part no. SW01049 for £5.98 . Only
rated at 50mA though, so appropriate relay needed.

I was planning to do away with my original barrel, so would lose the steering lock. I am planning to have a fuel cut off switch with removable key.
Would this do as the anti theft device.
Also the steering wheel lock needs the original sierra wheel to work as the lock goes in little slots on the back of the wheel and i am planning to
use a different wheel.

Something i have considered is a tap in the fuel line to cut of the fuel. This could easily be done at a show where the car will be left for a number
of hours. This way if the car does get stolen they won't get far!!
Whether it will be considered as an anti theft device i'm not sure.

The steering lock works with any steering wheel you fit, at least it does on mine.

I got a boss from Halfords and the steering lock works with that. It has a notch in the straight ahead position for the lock to engage with. Make sure
the lock is disengaged when you fit the wheel or it won't go on.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

i remember reading somewhere that fuel cut off lines are frowned apon, as the would be thief could start the car and drive off only to run out of fuel
in a dangerous area. Personally I could care less if the little poo got run over by a truck (see truck vs bloke post!) but you would place yourself
in a sueable situation if some innocent person got splattered as well.
Was going to explore the possiblility of using a solenoid to do the steering wheel lock, so I can have my hidden starter button and the ignition
barrel on the dash, maybe using a battery cut off switch hidden under the dash, plus some steel spike's under the seat so if some prick does
nick it he gets the rogering of his life!

I would be interesting in finding out if you actaully NEED the steering lock.
I have an Injection (Vx) engine and was planning to loose the ignition barrel completely and immobilise the engine by interupting the power feed to
the engine bay loom. what do you think??

Would my parent's next door neighbour count as an anti-theft device? He's punched the lights out of several jokers trying to nick his car
from outside his house while he popped in for something. My mum saw him dive in through the passenger side and literally punch the kid out of the
drivers side of the car, was quite a sight apparently

I would have to re-read the sva manual but I'm sure you need a mechanical anti thieft device along with an electrical one.
someone out there will be able to confirm if this is right!

Does anyone have a circuit diagram showing how a start switch should be wired in? I, like the majority, am using a sierra column.
Cheers,
