I dont want to tamper with the brakes or the fuel system...

Take 2 wheels off? Remove steering wheel?
Pull multi-connector off keyswitch?
LDV, it probably won't start anyway.
Banana up exhaust pipe !

Remove the battery? A couple of wheels? The steering wheel? Park something
up close at each end? Block off the doors? If you are close enough, a cheap
wireless PIR alarm?

Remove the battery. If it's a petrol/LPG version remove the distributor
cap.

Most LDVs manage to stop themselves. Complete heaps of crap.

Snap the key (you got one I take it?) in the ignition!

Park the wife's car behind.

Place super-glue on the drivers seat.

Chuck in the back a wasp nest.........

Be fun to watch the get away effort.

sounding much like they were saying:

I dont want to tamper with the ... fuel system...

Why not? It'd be the quickest and easiest way of disabling a diesel.

Just get a wheelclamp.

Take it to the scrappie pronto.

The only way to disable this is to lock around one of the wheels, DVLA
style. As it's an LDV, they're probably assuming it will need to be
towed anyway, so just preventing it starting won't do much good.

For comedy value, drop the track rod off it and leave it unlocked.

Buy a wheel clamp,any sort of tampering with the van will count as malicious
damage.

A lowlife who tries to reposess an LDV isn't going to worry about
trivia like that.


My concern would be that if you have _one_ LDV parked outside, someone
might dump another next to it.
