Land Rover Discovery Spare Wheel Thefts
I would like to draw the attention to all club members who operate a Discovery 3 or 4 to the spate of spare wheel thefts. If you like myself have had your spare wheel stolen by having the hoist cable cut from beneath the car, a new gadget is now available to obviate this scourge of modern times. The Land Rover spare wheel winch anti-theft protector is custom made using heavy duty steel. It leaves no cable visible so thieves cannot cut through the winch and take your spare wheel. The protector has a powder coated finish in satin black and takes just 10 minutes to fit. It costs £99.95, which is a small price to pay as a new magnesium alloy wheel plus hoist will set you back over £700.
The company manufacturing and selling this protector is LRTRADE-TECH and can be found by typing LR-Tech.co.uk into your web browser.
Some readers appear to think its the same gadget that was available some years ago at a much cheaper price. IT IS NOT. The old item was rubbish and did NOT work. Hence the cheaper price, plus it was only available on the Disco 3. This item is GUARANTEED! Not one spare wheel has been stolen whilst one of these protectors has been fitted. In fact today I have received a phone call from Stratstone Landrover London that they will be fitting all new Disco's and Range Rovers and Sports with the protector from new.
