On a serious note I hope you have some decent anti-theft stuff on it (no don't tell us what it is) I have never really got over the theft of my own defender 90.
Well, nothing is infallable, but the stock TD5 immobiliser & alarm is actually pretty good. The immobiliser is hard coded into the ECU and is unique to each vehicle. Even replacing the ECU will not work as the ECU's are matched to the vehicle as well. Not infallable, but very good as these things go.
I've done a fair bit of research into the security thing and the best things I could find are the "
tracker" - GPS based vehicle tracking system - expensive, but the subscription is for the life of ownership and if you own the thing for 25 years then it becomes cheap. It's electronic though, which means it can be defeated - like all things. It wont stop the vehicle getting nicked either, but there is a very good record for recovery of vehicles fitted with trackers.
The next thing is something called a
mecklock. This is a mechanical lock (no electronics) that locks out your clutch hydraulics and renders it inoperable. The only way to defeat it is to bleed down the clutch and fit a "bypass" then re-prime the system. Takes time and is conspicuous. Even then, you have to know it's there, know what it is, know how to find it and come equiped to defeat it. With the standard TD5 alarm & immobiliser, a mecklock and a tracker fitted, there is little else that can be done. It's not infallable, but it's as good as it gets.
Of course, I'm not saying I have these fitted, but I'm not denying it either.
