I have seen the Adrenalin (I think that is what it is called) for Land Rovers.How does your unit compare security wise?
Can you manufacture for earlier models?And lastly,is there a discount for Forum users.

If you would like to send me one suitable for an 04 plate Mk6 ,I will take it to Reading,demonstrate and show other members at the weekend build in a couple of weeks.....................you never know!!

So at the moment "I`m still in."


Am I suprised that I havn`t had a reply?.....................................................................well,yes I am to be honest.
It`s not every day that you would get Worlwide cover on a Forum like this and be offered the opportunity of demonstrations to some Forum members for less that a hundred quid,but there you go :roll: :roll:

So now,"I`m out".

mealic no offense mate, but if i was the guy i wouldnt give you one for free either :wink:

guy says there custom built so he probably only buys material for the ones he has orders for,
if he popped over to a meet and showed it off and answered the questions that were asked im sure the word would spread fast, but not by giving one away to a complete stranger who may or may not actualy do what he says by offering to demonstrate it :wink: :roll:

Each one custom made for 90quid :shock:
I would of thought it would be a case of the maximum you can cut out of a sheet of steel off to the tin bashers cut folded and welded then to the powder coaters / sprayers 4.99 each when they arrive from China :lol:
Would be too expensive to make one at once surely?

It's funny the mention of motorway services 'experiences' should arise.
I went to the North Weald meet, I went to the assigned meeting place, Birchanger Green Services, where I arrived (admittedly with caravan in tow), but I didn't not expect what happened next................
I arrived a little early as Madbri had said he would try & 'pop-in' on his way to Dover.
My 'experience' was when I pulled up Madbri, drove off, within seconds, Mealic stayed, so it couldn't have been my personal 'status', so what was the problem I hadn't knowingly been offensive towards him, quite the contrary in fact.We had exchanged banter through the site, some of it a little risque, but none derogatory or pointedly personal, so why the HELL DID HE PISS-OFF JUST WHEN I ARRIVED ?

Terry,it was because he was on his way to France on holiday with the family and popped in to the services to see Transitandy on his way.He was really wishing that he could have joined us at NW.I am sure that MB will be along sometime to verify this.Bit of paranoia creeping in methinks Terry.

FAO Bigmastif.

The guy posts an idea on here to get a free ad IMHO.I reply to him with a couple of questions which don`t even deserve the courtesy of a replies it seems.I make him an offer that I will demonstrate the lock to Forum members and then I get accused of being a complete stranger and asking for one for free!! Why?? Are you a mate of his?If so perhaps you can get him to answer the questions.

Wish I hadn`t been in,in the first place. :evil:

similar idea to the multilock or mul t lock we used to sell at the old ford dealers in bury (quicks) a good few years ago when i had hair. they were bolted to the tunnel and you then locked the car/van etc in reverse or park.

Hello,

I would genuinly like to know if these locks (which I like the idea of) are available for automatics too like my 1996 LWB transit :?:

pretty sure that i have seen some for Land Rovers an Discos.Pedallock seems to have got on his bike and pedalled off into the sunset.Shame really as it initially looked a good product.Perhaps he was around on other forums pedalling his wares though.
