Disklocks..

[Gerard]

Anyone else find these things can be a huge pain in the ass to get off sometimes? Just been pratting about with mine for near 45 mins before it would come after after much swearing.

Don't understand why they do this though, most mornings it unlocks fine, but when it feels like not coming off its normally a long battle to get the thing shifted.

Its not the cheap replica version, its the ofical version silver coloured.

I'm confused how you could take 45 minutes - did you buy one which is too small for your wheel or something?

Mine is yellow (not that it makes a difference, I believe they are identical mechanically) and I just rotate the disclock to the left a bit, stick the key in, sometimes it requires a tiny bit of jiggling as the instructions do say, unlock, open, put on the passenger side.

Nope its the proper size for an astra wheel, usually it comes of fine but sometimes it takes a bit of jiggling. This morning though took the biscuit, the key refused to go into the barrel properly and took ages to get it in. Thought it might be a problem with the key but with all 3 same thing.

So they call a steering wheel lock a disklok .......

Were you meant to store that stupid big thing ??

Under the passanger seat, in the boot etc.
