New van for us

[madtheswine99]

Decided to change the van from the Transit MK7 to a newer Transit Custom L2 H2. So much more room. Still have some work to do on it to get it to where we want but happy for now.

The loo is under the bed and who needs a washroom? Only dirty people wash!

Nice conversion. I hope you have taken the appropriate security measures as the thieves would like it too as with all transits.

Make sure you bring it to Ireland where the little folk will bless it, keep safe, and enjoy it.

It's not just Transits that get stolen, my nephew runs a fleet of Sprinters all with factory fitted deadlocks and trackers, he's had 7 stolen this year and the tracker is usually found just down the road Even the CCTV in yard doesn't deter them If they want it they'll take it I'm afraid.

There is only one what to stop theft of your vehicles, leave them at the dealers.

Remove a wheel at night or block it in with something, or a fuel cut-off valve/pedal lock etc.

Might stop an opportunist Trev, but if they want it they'll recce then come back tooled for the job.

By that reckoning ,might as well not bother then ....

In the real world ,multiple layers of security
Disklok (ideally with extra welding)
OBD port relocate/armour (especially transit)
Fuel cut off
Electrical cut off
Pedal box
Hook locks
Cheap easily found tracker
Better well hidden second tracker

All take time to defeat and mean that even the,most determined scrote will likely move on to the next vehicle along where the owner hasn't bothered to do anything ...

Sadly Transits are one of THE most stolen vehicles next only to Land rover products .

I use a pedal lock, Disklok and have an alarm system. I also load up the front seats with non valuable stuff that would be clogging up rooms in the house otherwise. So it looks like the van is full of junk - which it is!

What I meant was to not go nuts on onboard security as most vans won't even get looked at and it also depends where you live too, don't park to make it easy for them, block it in all effective for any vehicle with a single spend..

The cat is as much of a target in some areas.
