<p>This invention relates to a motor vehicle immobilising device which is adapted to disable the drive train of the motor vehicle under the control of known remotely controllable locking means adapted releasably to lock an actuator member constituted by a transmission gear selector lever (74) in a predetermined position when the lever is moved to that position. The predetermined position of the lever (74) coincides with the position of a gear selection which disables the vehicle drive train. This could be achieved by disengaging the gear box, that is by selecting the "neutral" position of the transmission or, in automatic gear boxes, by selecting the "park" position of the transmission, or in all types of gearboxes, by selecting the "reverse" position of the transmission. The object in each case is essentially to make is difficult, if not impossible, to drive the vehicle away in any normal manner. The immobilising device may be adapted releasably to lock the clutch actuation lever (10) the locking means being adapted to lock the lever (10) in a disengaged position of the clutch by means of a spring-loaded solenoid catch adapted to engage the lever when the lever is operated while the solenoid is de-energised. Energisation of the solenoid allows disengagement of the clutch and permits normal operation thereof.</p> |
