Jus been to the supermarket and as i was walking back to my car o noticed my spare wheel was missing

I am not sure when it happened but i have only had it 7 weeks and to say i am off is an understatement.

I take it the bracket just comes off from the outside?
Any ideas on cost of a new bracket?
Is this a common problem and is there a way of securing it?

is the bracket gone altogether? 

yep, there is just a big space where the spare wheel was

ive just had a look at mine and cant figure out how they would manage to get it off

if the bracket was snapped off you would have a loose cable hanging down ? 

Just checked and i cant see anything hanging down or any signs of breakage.

I fitted my tow bar this mroning to take the Jet Ski out and i am kicking myself as i can't remember if i noticed the wheel was there or not.....I am guessing it was there or i am sure i would have noticed, or would i.......

i got standard 19" tyre and rim a year ago on ebay ! brand new £ 100

Any ideas on the bracket?

i don't even know how it fits on, Can you just take it off from the outside?

The bracket is attached to the winch wire....It's puzzling to think how they got your tyre off? The bracket locks up tight against the wheels centre hole and you can't even get to the wire to cut it....very strange! RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

Have you checked with the dealers? I think the dealers forgot to put it back on.
I've looked at mine it looks near to impossible to steal it.
And you think it was stolen at the supermarket carpark?  Malaysia Boleh!

I have had a proper look and i can now see the cable has definitely been cut.

It has been cut right at the very top where it comes out from the winch bolt. Christ know how they have managed to get in there.......

All for a wheel that you can pick up on ebay for about £60. Let me know if you need a spare I have a couple of space savers or I can put you in touch with someone who will do you a wheel or about £50 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
