My Red Defender 90 genuine 200tdi, reg. H253CBV, was stolen last night from Flatt Road, Harper Adams University College, Edgmond, Newport, Shropshire.

It has silver modular wheels with large AT tyres fitted. It has a winch bumper with two large spot lights fitted to it. The winch fitted was a orange 12,500lb winchmax. There is also a new galvanised roof rack fitted which had 3 Insa Turbo Special Track's on brand new bloack modular wheels on it. There was a further two special track's in the rear.

This landrover is individual because its not a standard landrover red but is a metallic bright red. Also the chassis is a modified discovery chassis that anyone that knows landrovers will recognise as not standard defender.

Also it has 2 6x9 speakers mounted in the top rear corners of the roof which are mounted into thick pine wood enclosures that i hand made. Also has a sub fitted in the rear. It has a swingaway rear wheel carrier fitted. It has a boost guage fitted and a central cubby box.

Another distinctive feature is on the rear drivers side, under where the landrover badge is, there is a vinyl imitation landrover badge with the word 'BEAR' stuck to it.

Other difining features are the rear lights were odly matched, one side have a clear lens kits and light guards, the other just normal coloured lenses.

Another defining feature is there is a small hockey-ball sized dent in the front corner of the drivers side wing and the passenger rear side corner is slightly crumpled and some paint missing where that corner met a lamp post recently explaining the miss-matched lights.

Another feature is the spare wheels side wall has been scrubbed so now has a white band round it and has very uneven tread wear.

It has chequer plate on the wings, sills and a small patch on the rear door only.

It has discovery axles fitted as well as a disco transfer box. The gearbox is also a just fitted Ascroft refurb box!!!(LT77)

These are as many features i can pick out that define mind landy from any other.

Please keep an eye out for it and if your buying parts think first!!

Any information dont hesiatate to call me on 07920448153.

Christian.

Thats bad news fella. I hope you get it back.

Like Pikey said though it probably isnt a coincidence. If i were you guys(Langers,etc, etc) the rest of you harper adams guys i would all be very careful where you park your landrovers and keep an eye out for each other.

I know it sounds a bit daft but if you see the same van twice ask each other if someone else has seen it. etc. Disklocks, start using them!(i dont use mine enough)

I really hope you get this back Christian. Id hate to have mine taken.
 
weve been talking to security and theyre going through all the cctv and told us where we can move them which is straight infront a camera. were all keeping a look out for any suspicious activity or anything really. no one would want this to happen to them.
 
Christ, thats bad crack...
Hope you get some success in recovering your landy.

Some scum are so low, they could get under a snake with a top hat on ....
theiving scumbags.

All the best man..
fingers crossed for ye.
 
FOUND FOUND FOUND!!!!

They had take it only 7 miles, smnashed the steering column n surrounding dash up, towed it with a jump lead!! No body damage or anything.

STILL am missing a Red TomTom SatNav and 5 Insa Turbo Special Tracks on black modular wheels are missing.... keep ur eyes peeled peeps! And thankyou.

Excellent news chap. :)
 
Bloody hell!

One of the very very few! Not many as lucky as you out there.

Well done, now get some PROPER security on it.
Disklok, Clutch Claw, Immobilsier, Alarm everything you possibly can
 
Glad it was found. Sounds like they were nicking it for the goodies that were fitted to it.. SO almost certain to have been a fellow landy owner who either saw the vid on Youtube/LZ and decided to pop over to see what he could steal Or someone local to the UNI who has seen it on his travels..
 
Glad you got it back guys... assume the police have no interest into looking into it in more depth?

Hopefully the CCTV will show something, can only assume that a uni would have reasonable CCTV.
 
well who ever stole it was silly enough to drive it through campus. so gone past every camera on site nearly. and then stopped outside a hall of residence :O so definatly someone associated to someone at the uni. although with prints and all the CCTV lets hope its only a matter of time and they can pay for all teh damages to the 3 vehicles

That's great news... lets hope it all works out for the best... sounds like it was potentially an inside job though, if they've stolen the wheels it must have been organised, meeting someone with the tools and transport to take them away, etc.
 
Just wondering did anyone get caught, someone attempted to steal my friends brothers landy at harper but it locks etc so was only broken into not stolen
 
A very late update:

Noone was ever found/caught. Forensics turned up no prints due to the interior being so wet from dew from being left with doors wide open. All in all I was left 1k out of pocket for the repairs including a burnt out starter!

BUT, i still have the old girl today! Alarmed and imobilised! haha

Sorry its been so long!! :)
