Thieving t***t's
Went out to the car this morning to find out someone has nicked my TDV6 letters of the back. Last month they nicked the TDV6 & the HSE letters, WTF!!!!!! I wouldn't mind but i just had all the letters painted black to match the car
Time to de-badge it i think now, that will stop the f r's from doing it again.PRIDE OF NORTH LONDON

It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.

Some time ago, (last year) we had a thieving git in our village. He started on BMW badges then went for my D4 and removed the wheel centre caps and the badges on the grill and rear door handle (scratching the paint in the process). I suppose this div has them stuck on his bedroom wall as trophies..
If I could catch him, I''d shove a torque wrench up his jacksy and make him the biggest toffee apple in the village.

Not sure how you would get the headlamp unit out of a D3 \ 4 without lifting the bonnet tbh 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Time to engrave the reg and other info on the back of your headlamps then.
Maybe a self tapper screw through the securing mechanism would stop this?

Reading up ...it seems to be an issue with old Disco 2's
It was!!! When both a neighbour and I had D2's, for a period of time I never knew what was going to be missing when I woke up. They took my chrome spare wheel cover (When I bought a new one, I discovered that all the keys were the same, so kept it in a box in the garage!), light guards, rubbing strips, and my neighbour lost headlamps and rear lights in one evening. Only a screw driver required. As you slide down the banister of life
may no splinters point your way
