Contact the previous owner and ask him before doing anything rash. I wouldnt go chopping away with bolt cutters straight away. Chuck some pics up.

lol cud be.
I was thinking the padlcok may be holding somethin in (stereo maybe) coz its on a chain.
the other two i have no idea.
also i can't really contact previous owner coz i don't know his numba

I remember some of the old school alarm/immobilisers were key activated,i would've of thought that would've been way before the VN's time though.

Could be an activation switch off an old system that was never taken out.

I agree with the padlock idea of either chaining the break pedal or steering wheel.But having a chain wrapped around there...its anyone guess.

Cut it off & see what happens lol

are there any wierd marks on the steering wheel from a chain being wraped around it
as for the keylock it could have been moved there cause the 1 in the door jam looks smaller than what was there if you look at the paint ring around it

The only one I can say for sure is the lock in the pillar is a over ride switch for factory imobiliser that has a remote.
They were standard on VP's, however they were also fitted to VN Calais's but normally that switch was in the glovebox next to the boot release button.
As for for the chain and padlock :yeah:

The lock in the door, is the factory VN calais over ride switch (key activated). But its normally mounted in the glove box, next to the remote boot release switch.

Lock in the centre console??? no idea

And the padlock chain, its probably wrapped around the metal behind the dash, or the heater box somewhere. Take the radio surround out and see.
