Hi Magnus, I have used both locks on my 2005 model Compass. Please be aware that when fitting any locks,hitch or wheel you are only buying time as the determined thief will stop at nothing to remove it. I liked the Robstop for its compact size and ease to use. However I now use the Bulldog...

I have my heart set on a Mondeo Tdci (hatchback) but don't know which one. 115ps or 130ps.Is there much difference between the 2 when towing? Or reliability, servicing costs etc? Anyone towed with both? Any comments good or bad greatly appreciated. Thanks Mike

I had an Alko AKS2004 lock fitted to my new caravan and was unfortunate to have some LOWLIFE prize it off in an attempt to steal the van..Have seen the new reinforced lock and must say it is an improvement on the old one. HOWEVER...When fitting ANY lock we are only buying time in trying to...

Your alko lock will fit the newer aks2004/3004 hitch. The difference between the two is the aks1300 hitch needs the additional bolt on brackets whereas the brackets are part of the casting on the newer type hitch...Enjoy your new van..
