Flat Tyre - Land Rover Assist?
My wife has the Disco at the moment and she's just rang me to say that it has a flat tyre, completely flat with a visible hole in it, I'm currently over 50 miles away and have a busy day ahead - does anyone know if LR Assist will come and sort it for her, and if so, is it a horrendously expensive way of sorting it?

Is she in Cornwall? If she were local to me, I'd pop down and swap it over for her; I'm at home today.
I take it you have a spare ready to go, or do you need a new tyre fitting on the driveway?D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

A few years ago on my D3 but same thing happened to me and yes, LR came out and changed it and I wasn't charged.
(the fact they sent a local mobile tyre fitter who broke the winch winding it up with no wheel attached is a different story - but at least LR paid for it)

That's really kind of you JamesW, but yes she and the car are in Cornwall, thanks anyway!
Adam, really, they didn't charge you?! I'll get on the phone to them then!

LRA will come out and stick the spare on no problem.

Not sure exactly but the Wirral to me is circa Hoylake West Kirby etc is a tad more than a pop down In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Down and out's Velar

Cheers all, LRA are going to put the spare on, they won't cover the cost of a new tyre but that's fair enough, at least it gets her back on the road.

I know I just didn't want to go off his stated location. People are all over the place. I'm normally in London all week at the moment D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

Sorry - should have been clearer, they changed the flat to the spare FOC but I had to replace the shredded tyre
Why don't you buy her some of these for Christmas http://www.disco4.com/forum/topic161349.htmlIn Spain - 2018 F Pace - Down and out's Velar
