Oh, and no punctures (General Grabbers)...:) http://www.thelongranger.com.au/discovery3longrangefueltank.html http://www.oppositelock.com.au/redesign/department/productDetails.aspx?deptID=1&catID=39&itemID=RMAWM White Range Rover Vogue MY12 TDV; 4.4 8 Speed auto; rear e-diff; , leather; remapped 260Kw, 800nm, GME3440 UHF, Traxide dual battery kit, Yellow Top deep cycle battery; rear power sockets (4); Tyre Dog tyre pressure monitoring system

It's the same plate that also were used on the camel trophy cars for the sandladders and spare wheels. Roel Roel BN55 WPT G4 D3 LHD Team Greece.

If using the LR spare wheel carrier ensure you get the right one. Disco 1 and Defender ones are the same. Disco 2 is different having a smaller stud pattern 120mm dia as opposed to 165mm dia. The 6 mounting holes are in the same place though. I do not think 2003 racks had wheel mounts on them as wheels appear in all sorts of different places on the roofrack.

I have included a sketch for the bracket for those DIY'ers as it would be easy to make. If anyone wants it send me a message include an email address as I am unable to upload. Hope this helps Mark

What I'm describing would be the same bracket that holds your spare onto the back door of the 110 or D2. If you wanted to add some security, you could always use one of the locking wheel nuts?? M A bit like this.... thats the piece i thought mark was describing, hence my question woud it fit under the rack or is it a somple bolt on top of rack and use it as intended with locking nut, having looked at the picture i guess ive answered my own question, top fix and use as designed:blush: regards martin 2003 Stage 3 Event Vehicle D2 V8i ES Founding Chairman G4 Owners Club
