Black Cooper Steering Lock for Mini Cooper

Hello,

I recently recieved my lovely new Mini, but I am concerned about the safety of it when it is parked. I am wanting to buy a steering lock for it, but I am unsure which one to go for. I am thinking of getting a Disklok, which covers the entire steering wheel, but I have been told that these could cause damage to my steering wheel!

Any opinions on which is the best to get?

Thanks

Lesley

Never had any problems with my Disklok. It is very heavy to put on/take off, but you only need to practice a few times to perfect it.

To be honest the Disklok or the half shaped one (can't remember what it's called) are the only ones worth buying.

There is just one moon and one golden sun; And a smile mean friendship to ev'ryone; Through the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide; It's a small world after all.

I have no problems with my disklok and the steering wheel. I think I got the mid sized version and been using it for over a year.

With the Dislok you will need the small one - fits almost all cars, the larger one is for vans etc...
Mine works fine with the 3 spoke wheel no marks or scratches
