Buying a Fiesta ST - should I beef up its security?

I am taking delivery of a new Ford Fiesta ST2 in a couple of days. As you are no doubt aware, it has an engine immobiliser and a Thatcham Cat 1 alarm. Would you recommend any further security measures, such as a Disklok or will the standard fitments render anything else unnecessary?

Answered by Honest John

Definitely a Disklok. Highly inconvenient, but more so for a thief. You will need to find a way of securing the Disklok when you are driving because it's big and heavy and could do a lot of damage to people inside the car in a crash.
