No, but the only sort that I would consider, seems so much better than anything else out there.
May have to look on the bay....
But from previous searches, make sure you get 3 keys if at all possible....although I suspect replacements are available from the manufacturer, it adds cost and hassle.

I have one and think they are great and have had very good write ups. Easy enough to fit but not light.
I may actually have a spare somewhere in the garage if you are interested but it would be too heavy to post. Not sure how many keys with it.

Well Done Tony. An MOT certificate is always a big milestone.
Here is what I have for a steering lock.
http://www.halfords.com/technology/secu ... ering-lock
There are 2 types which is not reflected on the web-page. One for small diameter steering wheels like the MGB / Dolomite and one for thick rim wheels like the Clio. I think I have a spare Dolomite compatible one somewhere.
HTH,
Tony.
