[Rydoc]

[Dan Stanley]

I run them on both my novas. I even have a rare (as in Ive never seen another set) three lock set. My friends nova had its locks twisted out of the door many times, but I always thought it'd be harder to do with this style of lock.

[Iain]

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.

I had a set of these on my nova van really good so much better then oe locks

Why bother with the locks when Vauxhall fitted as standard all the tools a thieve needs to get in the car with out any damage or needing to touch the locks

[Stuart]

I hope you didn't pay £40 for them lol

I had someon my nova after it was broken into as they were only £25 for a set in 2002 :)

[scott.parker]

Lol had some on a mk2 asta I broke for my ex, biggest waste of time money imo

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.

[Iain]

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

[Novasport]

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.

All well and good if you own a garage :)

[swedge]

im with novasport on this one lol, it takes all of 30 seconds to get into a locked nova without keys

[Jon_nova1]

took me all of 30 seconds to get into mine when i lost my keys and the only "tool" available was the standard ariel lol

[Spudly]

I do hope you only bought them for the novelty 'look what i have on my shelf' as theyre the biggest waste of money the world has ever seen, they could be diamond coated laser cut coded locks, but there still bolted to a 'nova'...


Spot the weak link in the security yet lol

[therealnovaboy]

you should have saved your money and fitted one of these.

Thats the only thing that will stop your nova getting nicked

[Novasport]

I meant on a drive/the road. If they are going to break into a Nova the locked door is not much of a deterrant.

So do you lock your nova at night? ;)

[blue_peg_16v]

Mine dosent even have doors so who needs locks lol

[Spudly]

Nope never :p


Getting to my nova is a job in itself, whether its at home, or at the unit, its got a chip/key immobiliser thing, a fuel pump cutoff switch, and if its at the unit its in an alarmed locked unit.

If its at home its down a locked, gated tenfoot, with nine foot, razor wire topped security gates, so there wont be many peeps getting to it, and if they do, i dont want them trashing my minty doors getting in lol
