To be honest i assumed they could take it off. Looks like i might be wrong.


To remove the plug or whatever in the Alko receiver, you are supposed to have to register an Alko lock and give them the number on the sticker on the receiver. They then send you a tool to remove the thingy.

This is to stop other makes of lock being fitted to the receiver. I am sure there must a way to do it without the Alko tool!!

Alko took Bulldog (I think) to court and won, so they had to withdraw their lock. But I cannot make out how the Gridlock fits, maybe it does not need to screw into the receiver.

The nemesis is a hefty piece of kit, which can be a bit of a faff fitting, and removing, until you get used to it.
It is heavy, but it is also robust and I'll be sticking with it.
Probably just get used to cursing every time I use it.

I'll second that but it really does fit well and is not liked by the thieving folk.

Hope you enjoy it, they are good vans, and good value with all the extras you get on the dealer specials.

The handbook will provide bedtime reading for several nights, it is very thick!
