Second stolen wheel - after anti-theft mods!

I noticed today that my new spare and winch had gone. This is the second theft in 4 months, after the anti-theft plate and cable collars had been fitted. The first replacement was an insurance claim as the replacement cost from Land Rover is £1,800. I am in Discussions with Land Rover on this, as th...

Re: Climate control issue

Thanks Jim, I found it on TOPix. For others that need to know, I believe it is Campaign H100v2 - "Climate control blowing cold air on one side".

Re: Anyone familiar with Topix?

Yes I would. As it happens I did the same thing with my dealer yesterday (over the phone) as my Disco is going in for a service and recalls on Friday. They don't always tell you what the recalls ("campaigns") are, as they may be a bit sensitive - see my post on stolen spare wheel.

Stolen spare wheel

I'm sure you may be aware that the spare on your Discovery 5 is not secure. I noticed mine was missing last week and after close investigation it looks like the cable has been cut and wheel & winch gone. So this long standing problem with Discos and Range Rovers is not resolved. There is a modif...

Re: Anyone familiar with Topix?

Yes, it is specific to your vehicle. You enter the VIN and other info and get your vehicle history.
