What's there to explain? You can't clamp cars.

So if I did this, would I be breaking the law?

That's if you were going to charge the person to get it unclamped, I wasn't saying charge all you do is to clamp the car as its on private ground displaying the notice. Then the next day unclamp the car no one would return after that, If the same car returns clamp the car for two days and so on.

No. It is an offence to clamp cars regardless of charge. It is an offence to clamp, tow, block-in or immobilise a vehicle without lawful authority on private land under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.
Buy a cheap £100 car, something nasty, park it on said private land (don't bother insuring) as you don't care if it got stolen or abused, no need to tax, just sorn it (private land) and when said offenders take parking space, strategically use shed of a car to block them in and just leave it there for 48hrs.
Make sure you leave it in gear and park brake on, be harder for them to move, worse case they smash the window to move it out the way, see if that works, everytime they return, put said car back to block them in.
Once your goal is achieved, get the car collected by scrap man.

Machine gun turrets tbh, automatic but also with remotes.

Take the wheels off and leave it on stands too

So you've already been corrected about clamping, but letting tyres down would also be criminal damage, so that's not advisable either.
Really? I can see slashing tyres as criminal damage, but does letting air out of them count? (i'm not condoning it, just curious
)

Fit a gate, that's about the only option imo.

I can't imagine leaving the weight of a car sitting on a deflated tyre is going to do it any good, so I can understand that.

Anything you do that might damage their car is a dangerous game. If there are 5 spaces they have a very small selection of cars to get their own back on before they stop parking there. You would struggle to prove it was them as well.
