There are certain car accessories you cannot do without. Here is a list containing the most essential!

 

Steering lock



Remote locking system, gear locks and steering locks

 

There are a number of devices to deter car thieves, but these three are crucial.

 

Remote locking systems bypass the need for an ignition key to lock the car, and it also sets the anti-theft alarm when you lock the car. Quality systems feature an impact detection sensor which sets off the alarm even if a window is tempered with. A basic remote locking system costs Rs 2500.

 

Gear locks lock the car into a set gear until you unlock it. There are two types, the u type and the pin type. The pin type lock fits below the gear lever, while the u type consists of a stand and a lock. The stand is fixed on to the floor of the car, and the lock is made of hardened steel. Prices for gear locks start from Rs 1500.


Steering locks prevent the steering from turning. They are spring loaded, with two appendages that fit on to the inside of a steering wheel, and extensions on both sides prevent the steering wheel from turning. They cost Rs 500, and The Club is a dependable brand.

Puncture repair kit


A puncture repair kit will enable you to fix a punctured tyre without waiting for a rescue service but they cannot repair a blow out. The kit consists of a spiral tool, inserting tool, puncture seals, rubber cement and a blade. Some have air canisters to inflate the tyres, but an electronic tyre inflator is recommended. These kits can only repair punctures on the tread and not on the side walls. Prices starts at Rs 250.
