Meck Lock and Full Metal Jacket: are they compatible?


Recommended Posts

The following information is taken from the Meck Lock fitting/instruction booklet:

With the key removed, on earlier models the clutch pedal should remain locked in the fully depressed position, i.e. down to the floor. On later models, which have a different return spring, the clutch pedal will return to the top.

Now, my vehicle is a Landrover Defender Td5 County Station Wagon 110 (year 2005). Thus I’m guessing that it’s a “later model” on which the clutch pedal will return to the top.

I’m wondering though, and need to know, is it POSSIBLE that the fitting of a Meck Lock could mean that a Full Metal Jacket could not be used (because to use the FMJ, as far as I know, the clutch pedal needs to be in the normal position)?

Only a problem if you depress the clutch pedal after after you remove the key from the mech lock.

If you lock the mech lock but leave the clutch pedal up and do not depress it you can fit the FMJ without an issue. If however someone gets the FMJ off you can rest a sure that once the depress the clutch they are going no where!! :D
