John Craddock Ltd Magazine (General News)

Vehicle security is a hot topic now for Land Rover owners. Since the last Defender rolled off the production line in Solihull on 29th January 2016, Farmers Weekly reported in the same year that thefts had risen by 69%. Staffordshire Police launched Operation Tempran in 2018 to pull over Defenders to check their ownership and offer security advice and reassurance to owners. There is a range of Land Rover Defender accessories to add additional security to the vehicle. Could you make any additions to lower the risk of crime?
Protect Your Vehicle with Land Rover Defender Accessories
Insurers are urging owners to be vigilant and never leave keys in the ignition or have them on display, whether at home or out in public. If possible, park in a well-lit garage or secure area and take adequate security measures. This could include, but is not limited to fitting a mechanical immobiliser, like a steering lock or a pedal lock. Fitting an alarm and a tracking device and a hidden battery isolation or a fuel cut-off switch are all useful Land Rover Defender accessories in the fight against vehicle theft and damage.
The Land Rover Defender Station Wagon has many windows which can be vulnerable, especially at the rear. Fitting highly visible deterrents like security grills and window guards offers protection to the glass. Even these small additions can offer a delay to a thief and present a challenge to make them think twice about targeting your Land Rover.
