Stolen spare Wheel

[cockney]

To all transit owners who have had to like me replace a stolen spare wheel.
I was at a market last week and bought a TRANI-LOCK for £110 brilliant bit of kit and dead easy to fit.
Only draw back is i have since found it on ebay for £89.99.
Only wish i found it before it cost me £300 plus for new spare and cable.

how does this stop the cable from being cut

it even states at bottom of discription
Not guaranteed to stop a theft as with all anti theft devices.

I bought it because even if you cut the cable you still dont get the wheel so theres no point in cutting the cable.
Nothing is un nickable, but they have made this visible to put the dirty toe rags off trying to nick it.

My spare wheel was kept in the cab behind the passenger seats.

90 quid!!!! hope you haven't made many!

in general i leave my spare in the garage as i work fairly local on longer trips i either throw on back or put it inside the rear crewcab area. its bound to be chucking it down or road covered it crap when i get a flat so sod crawling about underneath truck

if you cut the cable does it still drop the wheel?

[seangsxr1]

i bet if somone was going to nick the wheel they would still cut the cable to
(1) see if it droped
(2) just to spite you for stopping them

prevention is better than cure

[cockney]

No, if the cable is cut it can't cant fall off its locked on.

??? I thought the only thing holding the wheel up was the cable?.. or is there a 'back' to this device?? that holds it up if the cable is cut??

[rustyford]

dident no it was a problem although having said that the c*nts were nicking the catalitic converters a while back,why not just put the wheel in the van?

[barabas]

It's not rocket science, just don't live where c*nts nick sh*t, simples. And put them all in fenced ghettos where they can f*ck each other over

Well said that man, that was part of my plan moving here............. I only seem to get done over by local tradesmen

How often is it needed? I can't ever remember having to use my spare when out ever and that's in 73 years driving I keep mine behind the gate at home
Probblyy get a flat now after all that bumcome

[bigjohnthomas]

If you just carry a pair of bolt cutters round with you its easy to borrow a wheel from another van in the event of puncture
