I wandered into the local Halfords today, the the only straps they had were pretty pathetic and crap! Andrew __________________________G4ROX 2002 Range Rover G4 __________________________

You can feed the cable through and around the lashing holes in the roof board and back up through the centre hole of the wheel so you have 4 eyelets together . Apply padlock which must be larger than the diameter of the wheel centre. Voila it aint going anywhere . Total cost about £15. Done 10000 miles on /off road round Europe Romania /Ukraine and 100 mph on autobahns. Doesn't move or bump provide you slightly tension the cables by choosing to wrap the cables around to get them just long enough to pop through wheel centre. It's dark now but can send photo if this doesn't make sense.
