    Get an alarm with immobiliser mate, works well you could even get one with a proximity sensor too. wouldn't use mine as a daily without out it

    Bad way to start a day but at least it survives, even a chain and padlock will do something until you sort out the damage

    I have had several Novas saved by steering locks, inexpensive but the 60 seconds or so it would take a thief to break them is a long time.

    Steering wheel lock
    Alarm
    immobilser
    kill switch (not to kill thieves....but if it existed I'd fit it)
    Choke cars are good too as they can't drive cars with choke, they don't know what it is

    that's sh!t, unlucky mate.

    atleast its still where you left it. you'd be triple fcuked off if it was gone, and appeared on the 6 o clock news doing a bank job

    might as well weld that hole up in the passenger door, and paint over. looks too far gone to get another lock in the hole.

    a new steering column and plastic surround shouldn't set you back too much. £30 for both ?

    Someone's lending me a tool to straighten and re shape the hole, so I'll give that a go, passanger door lock is destroyed too so ideally I'm after a full early matching lockset?? And it would be pretty cool if it got on TV tho!
