Can you believe my luck, I was showing the car to a prospective buyer today and when I went to show him the spare wheel or more to the point where it should have been, it was empty! It had been stolen! I checked all the photos I took in prep for selling it and it was def there on Friday as it is clearly visible in the pics. ....... And the only place I'd been was out for the day with my daughters on Saturday, Colchester Zoo of all places so lots of people coming and going, shows how much front these guys have now doing it in broad daylight and with people about. I dont know how they managed to cut the winch cable as I had the wheel stowed inwards so there was hardly any cable visible if any at all.

I was thinking about the RLD protector the other day..... Always the way!

Wondering if anyone on here has a spare wheel and/or a spare winch system knocking about? And I will be definitely ordering the RLD protector. 2007 RRS TDV8 Stornaway Grey with lots of smiles..

Same thing happened to me, its a common problem but bl dy annoying to say the least, for the cost of these motors you thing LR would include a locking system. I got a new winch off ebay - brand new £90, easy to fit only 6 bolts. Couldn't get a full size spare at the time so got a space saver, now managed to get a full size so my space saver is up for sale at £100 if you're interested, its never been used
I also got the RLD protector - they are excellent  2019 BMW X3 2.0i M Sport in metalic black- Brilliant

There is now a new anti-theft version of the winch on the D4 for under £60; worth checking whether it's universal D4/RRS?
