De-Wipering

[michaelgrimes]

Right so, my saxos been de-wipered!
And iv iv got a rubber blaniking gromit in the hole at the moment!
BUT iv heard horrific stories, of people having the rubber bung pushed through, and a coat hanger put through the hole, and having their boot unlocked, causing them to have things stolen!
My dad had the bright idea of getting a plumbing planking plug (like for blocking tap holes etc)
But i cant find one with a 10mm diameter
What have other people used to stop this?
Or is there nothing that can be done?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks!

Don't your car have an immobilizer ?

There was something a couple of years back you could buy, that basically bolted on from the inside. Like a metal disc with a nut on the back... then a big washer and a bolt to stop it from falling out/in.

It might be easier to try and wedge some cardboard or something around there so they can't get directly to the lock mechanism.

Also, i wouldn't worry too much about people breaking into your car like that.

It's easy enough to get in with a screwdriver through the lock... or just bending the front doors... My mate's had both of these done to his 106.
End of the day... don't leave a 300 quid stereo on display in a shitty area

Lol alright, my stereo is only worth £60 anyway, so there aint too much of a problem there, but il have a look into it thanks

Yeh, at the end of the day there are easier ways to break into a saxo.

I'd just try not to worry about it... and don't leave stuff on show

Immobilizer stops car from being started not stuff gettting nicked...

Yeah, iv just tinted the 3 rear windows anyway, so my parcel shelf speakers arent as noticeable anymore anyway!

I agree to be honest if someone wants to get into a saxo they will, best thing you could do is get a good alarm so they hopefully don't get time to take anything. you could put a bit of silicone around the bung though just to make sure you get no leaks through it

look for the bolt in metal blanks off ax tailgates
