If we can buy the nuts and sockets to remove them so can they??? For your sakes email each other with what you are going to purchase? A local friend has just had his totally rebuilt 90 stolen which was parked behind his wifes Alfa and his company car and gate. They removed the gate from its hinges and dragged the two cars out the way and that was a sleepy village in Suffolk??:w00t: Now just a Normal D3 owner M30LRO soon to have some bolt on off road bits!!!

Anyone know off the top of their head what size / length of bolts are used on the winch and its cradle ? BV55 YZE, Fleet No 19 - Thailand 2006 Now registered as YZE 481 in Melbourne, Oztralia.

They provided the winch, control, rope, winch cover and also paid for the fitting costs at a Land Rover dealer. Either special bolts or welding, we should use all the means to help prevent this.

I fitted the skytag tracker/recovery device after the offer we had before christmas, and smeared smart water everywhere too. I'll be looking into either spot welding or acquiring some of these sophisticated bolts to the winch soon. Otherwise, I've compliled a list of accessories and options for my D3. I'll post it in the 2008/9 challenge area under vehicles. I'd be interested if those of you 08/09 owners have any comments or ammendments to make to it. Otherwise I recommend a copy goes to your insurer with lots of pics. to back everything up. Adrian flux cover me, and seemed to undestand the concept of a G4 vehicle, but you can guarantee when it vanishes from outside my house, I'd end up with a right battle replacing everything I'd lost. stay safe Rich 2008 G4 D3 TDV6 BG08 VGY Team SA colours
