    I used to have those on my first Nova, thought they were a great way to improve the security.

    I'm running one of the Solex locks in my early mk1 tailgate too which works quite nicely.

    This

    I had some on my old Nova, promptly took them off and sold them after realising even the most muppety of thieves doesn't even need to touch them to get in.

    Their deadlock feature was quite good I thought, making fettling with the mechanism behind the lock a bit of a pain.

    Better off leaving a Nova unlocked, may aswell for how easy they are to break into and saves any damage to the precious drivers doors(either that or leave a note on the drivers door stating 'if you must break in and damage the door please use the passenger door as I can still buy them new!')
    Just make sure you don't leave valuables in it and fit a decent immobilisor.
