What size disklok for 2024 Ford Transit?

[SteveE]

Does anyone have a disklok (steering wheel security) for a 2024 Ford Transit? I’d like to order one ahead of collecting our new van but not sure which size I need to order. Have searched online but most sites just suggest measuring the steering wheel, which isn’t much help as I don’t have the van yet. Thanks in advance.

Can’t help on the Disklok but have measured the steering wheel on ours, it is 15 inches diameter. Ours is a 2024 reg but late 2023 built so almost certainly the same.

Thank you Peterd82, that’s really kind of you!

small one fits our Ford 21 plate steering wheel.

Just a thought my insurer - Caravan Guard - insist on a steering wheel lock and specify a short list (of three when I last looked). I went for the Milenco (which I have stored vertically behind the passenger seat when driving):

Amazon.co.uk

You might want to check what any insurer you are considering might have by way of similar requirements. Even if you are not insuring with Caravan Guard it might be good to know you could renew with them without having to swap steering wheel locks.

Hope that helps. If not just ignore me!!

We've got a 24 plate transit. You need a small, just taken a photo of ours in situ for you.

Personally I'd be driving any new (to me) motorhome straight from the dealers forecourt, (even if it was in Scotland) down to VanBitz near Taunton.

I'd have them fit an alarm, a tracker and and immobiliser.
I'd probably also have them fit a solar panel, a gaslow system and WiFi.
(All of which they can do in one day if booked in advance)

As a back up I'd get a 'baseball bat' steering wheel security bar.
They are far easier to put on, take off and store than the circular ones.

Having had both, I know the 'baseball bat' design gets used all the time, even for a quick stop in the services car park.
Whereas the disc lock circular design gets left in the rear locker and only used occasionally,
before you sell it to some other mug in the classified section of this forum.

"Whereas the disc lock circular design gets left in the rear locker and only used occasionally," well you might do, mine is used frequently,got to saw it off not just saw a gap in the Steering wheel & slip it off.

Us too, if we're parked up and leaving the van for any length of time, the disklok is on.

Thanks everyone for the info and comments, really helpful. Think I’ll go with the Disklok and see how we get on. Unfortunately due to work commitments our van spends more time on the drive at home that out and about… so this is mainly to help improve security at home, rather than the odd time we leave the van parked up somewhere.

I see it as simply as a visual deterrent.
It means if they are stealing the van, it's yet one more thing they have to do, which takes time.

Obviously they need to have got past the door locks, the alarms, the immobiliser, the tracker, the ignition, as well as the steering lock before they actually go anywhere.

Bit of a sweeping statement to call everyone who has a disc lock a mug and not at all in the meaning of rule one.

Just because you didn’t use your disc lock doesn’t mean everyone else wont
