Hi all,

My RRS went for a service last week and was told some little C**T & has stolen my spare wheel.

Anyone have a spare that they don't need.

Presumably you'll need the winch cable too ?
If so, give Dan @ Duckworths (forum sponsor) a shout as he has done some very sympathetic prices for people inf the same situation for a winch cable and wheel  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Saty - I looked at revised winch but kept my original winch as it was still working and covered it with the protector

If you need a winch you may as well get the revised model but I would still fit the protector having seen both - I have not heard of anyone losing a wheel with Ray's protector and it looks built to withstand a tank  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Thanks Muddy Wheels that sounds like a plan.. firstly need to look under the car itself and see if I need a winch and then get a spare wheel and Ray protector..

Now I have a dilemma.. do i get a new 20" wheel (£300 odd) to match or i have seen a basic 17" on ebay with a tyre for £60 odd...

Check you can fit a 17" on yours before you buy it and be careful buying secondhand tyres - if it is over 5 years old it may be cracking even if it has good tread

The standard spare were going for about £90 last time I looked - usually some on here or disco - buying off eBay you may get one stolen from another member or your own  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Good point about the tyre MW..

What is the standard spare.. is it alloy or a space saver type?

True say about I could end up with my own wheel from ebay

I am speaking to Dan at the mo, so might end up with something better .. fingers crossed

cheers

Standard spare I believe is a spacesaver 19" Saty  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Standard spare is a 19" but unless you match alloy exactly and the tyres you have it will still need to be treated in same way even if full size for safety - ie speed, etc  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
