I've got one of RLD's and have to say it is a great piece of kit, also not too heavy. Well worth the investment. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

I best read the handbook to find out how to lower the spare before I order one

Phew.....Looks easy enough

I'm always in to crime prevention. So just ordered one.

So I assume lower wheel and remove cable thingy. Drive forward put wheel on top of the device. Reverse back put cable thingy through the hole of wheel and device. Then wind back up. Have I got it Or can I do it without moving the car TDV6 - gone

The spare wheel is always a 19 if I remember rightly... the rolling radius of the 19s and 20s should be within tolerance anyway.

Hi all

The space saver wheel protector will fit the 19" ally rimes and the 20" rimes is you had 18" rimes i would do a 18" space saver that means the plate just sites further in the rim

Oh No Sorry to hear that.

Having had a look at my spare when I was fitting Rays theft protection device. I can't see why anyone would want the crappy space saver. It's not an alloy master piece. TDV6 - gone

I can - the £850 to get it replaced seems a pretty good reason. RRS TDV8 HSE - Hybrid TV - Sunroof - Adaptive Front Headlights - Harman/Kardon LOGIC7 system

Hmm... plenty of identifying marks on it, if so. Not sure why you would genuinely be selling your spare.
