Keeping your vehicle safe this Winter!

🎉 Happy New Year from the Met! 🎉

Start 2026 by helping keep your car or van secure:

🔐 Use layered security – Steering‑wheel locks, gear‑stick locks, OBD locks, immobilisers and key‑security pouches all deter thieves.

🚫 Don’t leave valuables on show – Remove power leads, Sat Navs, bags, tools and other visible items.

🔑 Keep keys safe – Store keys and fobs out of sight at home and never leave them in the vehicle.

🔒 Always lock up – Even on your driveway or at the petrol station. Consider a ‘Park Mark’ car park and use a steering‑wheel lock for extra visibility.

📡 Protect keyless entry fobs – Keep electronic keys in a signal‑blocking pouch and check the pouch regularly.

🚘 Secure plates & OBD ports – Use theft‑resistant number‑plate screws and consider locking your OBD port.

👀 Check wing mirrors – If your mirrors fold in automatically when locked, make sure they are folded so thieves know the vehicle is secure.

📞 Speak to your dealer – For approved alarms, immobilisers and tracking devices.

🚗 Selling a vehicle? – Keep the keys in sight at all times to prevent cloning.
