In fact, according to the statistics from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), approximately one in every hundred Land Rovers was reported stolen in the year ending March 2023. That said, it isn’t just luxury cars that are targeted; the humble Ford Fiesta also made it into the top 10. This means that drivers of cars with smaller steering wheels (some newer Peugeots, for instance) may be better off with the Disklok, which comes in multiple sizes. Rather than taking the form of a bar that fits through the steering wheel the Disklok envelops the whole wheel – the idea is that it’s harder to cut or break off. In other posts, thefts have been reported due to the headlight wiring CANBUS vunerability where a scrote can be in the car and off within minutes with no key required.

The manufacturer says that this will fit any steering wheel with a diameter of up to 39cm, although this comes with a flipside — some customers with smaller steering wheels said that it can feel a bit loose once fitted, even after fitting the included padding.

Someone has developed a tool (disguised as a JBL bluetooth speaker and sold on the dark web) that when wired into a vehicle’s control CAN bus, can impersonate the vehicle’s key fob. The vehicle used as an example is a current-generation Toyota RAV4, but it’s vital to note that this vulnerability is not specific to any particular OEM or model — this is an industry-wide problem at the moment. Thieves are pulling bumpers and trim pieces away from a vehicle, which allows them access to the CAN bus near the headlight connector. Much of a vehicle’s CAN bus systems will be found hidden deep inside a car, but since modern headlights are so smart these days, they require their own ECUs, which means they’re going to be wired into the whole car’s CAN bus system.

For us everyday mortals if it was a keyless Ford product or something from the JLR product line up or a Audi / high end VW then yes you would be wise to take extra precautions. The device is easy to remove and fit, with a protective cover for easy storage when the device isn’t being used.We also liked its compact size, which meant it could be stored inside the car without getting in the way constantly. The keyless fob is now secure against relay theft ( unlike earlier C-HR ) & there are far much easier cars to target that can disappear under a minute.
