Yeah, it is one of my favourite modifications to my Landrover Defender... Thanks for watching and your message...👍

That's nice and secure. Without the cap you could use a vice grip to steer. That's what thieves in South Africa do. I had a mate who's car was stolen so many times that he used to take the spark plugs out at night.

Yeah, unfortunately, Landrover Defender do get stolen...! Another good tip is to take the fuel pump relay out on a Td5 definitely won't start...if that is removed 👍

I’ve found optimil stuff a bit hit and miss, their door handles are complete garbage, but the quick release boss and swivel lock are great.

Yeah, something can be... but on another hand the swivel look and steering boss are Great and also the LED puddle lights are brilliant on my Defender from Optimill...👌

Thanks so much.... yeah it is very nicely made... Optimill do make some good quality products...for Defender...👍

On initial inspection of the Optimill "swivel lock", it appears really easy to bypass, it's 3-4 grinder cuts and you can bypass it. So that would be about 3-4 minutes, yes it will slow a thief, but that's in reality it. slow, by about 4 minutes. Also to consider, the removable steering wheel is not road legal in the UK, as it can be removed while the vehicle is in motion - that makes it insecure. If it were to have a lock to it, then it would be able to be type approved, it's not so again, cannot be legal on UK roads. TA is required for any vehicle after 98.

Just adds a bit more security to a Landrover Defender...it all helps along with some other things! Optimill has sold hundreds... of these quick-release boss and steering locks I am happy with it just make sure it put on properly before you drive away...Thanks for your message...👍

@@RobLandroverAdventures totally agree Rob, if the thief happens to be carrying a angle grinder I suppose any anti theft device is removable 👍

Nice video Rob. I did the same about six months ago and am well chuffed. Only one problem.... getting the dammed steering wheel off! On an 18 Yr old 90 I've had from new, I knew it hadn't been off😂 Another great product from Optimil.... they really are the Dog's bo##ocks!

What's to stop someone purchasing this product and then using the keys to then go and steal a defender that has one fitted??

The two keys that you get with the Optimill steering wheel lock are numbered so they will only fit your steering wheel lock and will not work in someone else's system...just make sure that you keep the space keys somewhere safe... like the same thing as your Defender car keys...👍
