STOLEN. LAND ROVER TD5 ***FOUND!***
mike142sl:
Thats the first person I've heard of to have lost a vehicle with one of those fitted. Is this just down to the design of the defender?, I know someone who got their Disco TD5 back a couple of hours after that was nicked using one of these.

I'll not be needing those wheels now Ian, and the remap's off the cards at the moment :roll:

Shame we didn't do it sooner... could have checked out your alarm too (well the LR part of it) - but in all honesty you'll probably find it was a 'professional' gang who took your 90" - so would know how to get around things!! Did you find any screws or fittings on your drive??
Absolute Bar Stewards....
Might be worth a trip round Sodbury (next month I think) - see if you can spot anything that was yours :wink:
As Steve G pointed out, mechanical locks are the way to go... I'm quite a fan of the 'full metal jacket' - more of visual deterent too.

Didn't find anything on the road where it had been parked. Mind you I had a skip next to it which has now been collected, so anything they took off could have gone in there and is now long gone.
I think I'm away when it's old sod. Last time I went, there was not much chance of finding anything as it took so long to get parked up that all the good stuff had gone. I'm sure that there'll be a fair bit of warm kit at old sod - it's inevitable. Just like there is on eBay and (possibly) some of the other Land Rover forums.
I saw an FMJ at Donnington and thought they looked good. Was tempted, and should have given out to temptation, but thought that the security I had was enough for now.
I guess the lesson is - you can never have enough security if they're that interested in taking the vehicle away.
Typically, we've booked on a weekend away in Wales doing some laning in a few weeks (booked ages ago) so I'll have to see what sort of lift and oversize tyres I can get for the vRS. Can you get All Terrains for Skoda Octavias? Shame it's not the 4x4 :wink:
Cheers

Price of security is cheaper than the cost of replacing your pride and joy.

sorry to hear about your miss fortune. i know this ent much help but the chance is it was stolen to order! most landrovers taken are normaly sold before thay go missing, ie engine,wheels, etc etc and the rest sits and rots away in a small yard somewhere. :cry:
have you had a look around small garage units within a 15 mile radius area to your self if you boarder another county i would start looking there first normaly old airfeild type industrail area's first
and as for trackers personal i wouldn't wast money on them as most need the car wheels to be moveing with normal electrics on and to be honest the electric's are normaly by-past with 4 foot of 6mm wire to get started then removed so the vehical is then tricked, then 2 miles down the road its onto a trailor and away? and thats before you have finnished you call to the tracking company. :cry:
