Spare wheel mechanism damaged

Last week some prick attempted to steal my spare wheel. Seems they cut the end off the cable that holds the wheel in place.

I was out of the county and a relative then wound the cable back up, but from looking at it, they wound it all the way into the mechanism. I guess I need a whole new unit.

Any idea of the cost of this?

I think duckworths will be cheeper Barry. It would be worth giving them a bell. Thumbs Up MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

Hi mrobbie,

Sorry to hear that Evil or Very Mad

I had some Censored do the same to me a couple of weeks ago. I found the best place for the winch was Nick from Yeovil LandRover

This was my thread :http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic24294.html?highlight=

This one has a link to Nick's price on disco3: http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic24379.html?highlight=

I got it for £66 inc Delivery and it arrived next day Mr. Green

I got a space saver spare from Duckworths at a reasonable price too Thumbs Up

A real pain in the rear.

Hope you get it all sorted soon,

Pat 2011 Autobiography Santorini Black

yes, they did it in broad daylight (lunchtime). Sadly they got into a waiting car and sped off before he actually got to them.
