Yeh my vl had a kill switch just behind the the middle console bit where the radio is, on the drivers side near the brake peddle. It doesnt take a brain to figure out where there can be. So, where are the best places to hide a kill switch? Hmmm i dont think ill get many answers lol, doubt ppl wanna write a "how to steal my car" post. This is the one thing that worries me the most, since im about to buy a VLCT sometime this month. Needless to say i'd die if my car, which i worked my arse off, day and night for, is pinch by some ***** needing a hit.

Maybe another security issue is just don't live in the northern/western suburbs of melbourne, haha.

haha..tuff..i8 like it!

boyz i reckon best security is a tuff dog,i got a car it aint a vlct or a vlt or even a vl but i got a mean lookin 2 n a half year old staffy if theres so much as a peep at night he goes mental, plus hes good with the jehovas witnesses lma0o Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

something different 2 try, im not sure if they still do but holden used 2 sell a metal surround 4 the steering column to prevent people getting at the ignition wiring, jst screw one of these in with tork bit screws or something similar that ur average theif is not as likely 2 carry around, no sustitute for an alarm/immobiliser but every bit helps

i have read about shaving door handles and having a button under the sideskirt to open the door, but i thought that it was illegal to shave the door handles and locks? like, if your in an accident, and they cant open the doors.... your ****ed

a good immobilser is possibly the only way to go,cause one of my mates vls had,an alarm, and solex locks, was out of fuel,the ****s just,disabled the solexs(very easy)and pushed the car away down the street.

doesn't matter wot u do if a theif wants yr car they will have it. especially if they own a tow truck

this is 4 ppl who want to keep there subs and other sterio gear...disconect ur boot switch and put the wires back in the dash..so u can only open it with a key

ive seen somebody do this , the put a padlock around the gear shifter, in between the gear hand and the the thing u lift, obviouslty can on be done with an auto and it was a big fat paddlock that fitter really tight around it, so what u thing?

Needless to say i'd die if my car, which i worked my arse off, day and night for, is pinch by some ***** needing a hit. best one i've seen was behind the air vent and had to be turned on and off with a pen or pencil

Or them magnet activate ones. could be anywhere behind the dash.

wouldnt want to touch mr hele's car(not that i would) man that guy would kill anyone who even walks along the car... asfor security, having a silent alarm aint gonna fix the problem, he could strip down ur car, take ur sound system etc...

any car can be stolen, it doesnt have to be broken into. the best way, and the cheapest way would be to park another car behind it & dont leave anything of value inside! OR, do wat i do, and buy a rottwieler, i cant even sneak out of the house without him barking and running to see what it is... EVEN @ 2am wen he's fast asleep!!!

something i used to do until i got lazy and then had my car nicked was, to take the ecu out at night or at shopping centers etc... mind u mine was smaller than the factory one (microtech) kill switches are good, but i kinda like the thought of a 2farad capacitor setup on ur ignition barrel...fiddle and be burned!!

just thought id add a plug in here if you lads dont mind, my bro is a 3rd yr apprentice locksmith and is forever changing busted locks in commodores, mostly your VL's. when i had mine he re-coded my locks so not any old commodore key could open and start my car. id recommend this to all VL owners just as extra security. if anyone in SA needs lock work done PM me, my bro will work out some 'under the table' prices Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
