Bowie69 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 A hidden tap or solenoid in the fuel line always seems like a good option to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I tried the hidden tap option but the truck would run for a while even with the tap off. Admittedly the vehicle stopping in the middle of a road a mile away would attract some attention, but I'd rather it just wouldn't start. (I have a 200Tdi, so minimal electrics but probably too much pipework with a 2 tank cooking oil set up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanuki Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 A battery-isolator switch is worth considering. It'll make any 'start-and-drive-away' thief take a bit longer to get it started. Go for the type that has a low-Ampage fuse wired across the switch - so you still get power to keep your radio's stored settings alive when the isolator-key's removed, but the fuse blows as soon as someone tries an unauthorised start. You can also wire a high-decibel sounder [search 'Sonalert'] across the switch so when the fuse blows it starts screaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
