last night in the space of half hour parked on a friends drive in lovely peterborough, some thieving scrote tried knicking my 35 bfgs, they got one off and a second off bar 1 wheel nut before they were disturbed.
unfortunately i didnt know so couldnt decapitate them.
surely a set of mud terains isnt worth a very long painful death if caught.
-
Scum bags, you were lucky they were disturbed.
Did you have locking wheel nuts?
-
no, there a waste of time to be honest, had a set of alloys pinched of a defender a couple of years ago, they just chiseled them off, i have since had to do it myself when i lost the adaptor and was suprised how easy they come off!

:lol: :lol:
Seems to be alot of reports of Land Rovers either being stolen, or various parts going missing :shock:
Maybe the members of MC could draw up a table of the punishment fitting the crime committed :evil: ie,
As you said above.
Set of Mud Terrains = A very long painfull death :lol:

But at least having to chisel off the locking nuts makes noise, and adds bu99eration for them?
-
There has been lots go missing lately, 90's and 110's being the most common.
Just make it as hard as you can for them.

Crime = touching anything that isn't yours without permission especially "ones Landy "
Punishment = multiple stab wounds = the more damage you cause the more holes you get ! :twisted:

I was thinking more along the lines of tensile testing their 'joy department', a truely scientific test to compare the recovery potential of the 5.0l auto against the 4.6l.
I too found I had some missing wheel nuts on the 23rd, we'd been out laning and I was getting a knocking noise. " missing nuts, 2 very loose, one still tight :?
All 3 other wheels tight, wheels been on for months and it was the one corner you couldn't get to when it was at home, so in Rotherham town centre for 2 minutes and this happens :roll:

I can see an alternative use for a Mondeo hatchback boot catch - the tailgate is extremely long and sloping, containing a back window the size of a football pitch - and when open reaches approx 7 ft in the air - I have to stretch to close it (but haven't been sad enough to get the tape measure out). Given a good pull in a groundwards direction, it reaches quite a speed by the time it closes. With light fingers trapped in the catch, the car will probably still do in excess of 100 mph ... and the beauty of it is that if Light-fingered Larry doesn't learn his lesson first time round, the lesson can quickly and easily be repeated. :twisted:
The back window is too small on the RR and the catch too high up for part 2 of this lesson to be as effective.
-
thing is you dont know who is nicking them for all you know they are on a landy near you, not necessarily far away, since unless they have very distinguished alloys or tyres then its hard to prove they are yours (unless you are that sure you demand a proof of purchase from the apparent owner.

It's the usual pre-christmas bonanza for opportunists, sell them down the pub and get bladdered/high for the holiday season.

When I got the Audi 100QT the locking wheelnut key was a bit battered, then I broke it totally doing a wheel.
Quickfit guy showed me how to get them off. 30 seconds per nut :shock:
Have had an idea on how to make most car alarms pick up someone trying this too, will let you know if it works.
