Land Rover Discovery 4 Headlight & Grill Theft

[FloweredUp]

Hi
Just bought the above, had it three weeks and am now missing the headlights and grill. Sadly finding out this is a thing. Any advice on avoiding a repeat.

Do these protection bars work?

Thanks in advance

I have just had the same happen plus rear tailights (for the 2nd time in 6 weeks!) - I’m also looking for anti-theft devices - FloweredUp did you get anywhere in your search and what protection bars are you referencing? Thanks.

You can get alternative bolts for the real lights. Join the owners group on Facebook and do a search. Only a tenner a set plus postage I think. Sold by one of the admins I think.

Rear lights you need to swap the two existing retaining screws for anti theft number plate screws (torx type) and make sure you use the little plastic caps so the torx pattern is hidden. Rear lights can be removed without the tailgate gate being lifted by some thieves.

Front lights. These are the 'go to' anti theft' brackets produced by a guy with a strong LR pedigree..

Grill is trickier as it just a few clips. The most common way now is to use self drilling torx pan head screws in black and secure the top of the grill to the metal trim behind. Be careful not to use too long a screw and to find a place which is clear behind (that sounds more scary than it is!).



All the above will considerably slow down thieves and they'll probably give up....

Good luck...
