Likewise. :( Hope you get yours back whole!

:confused: If it is made up of new parts.......where is the original 1985 vehicle? Ok to swap over to a new chassis on like for like - as long as the chassis is stamped. SVA approval? Or what ever they call it. I agree it is for U.S market. Look at the price! :D

:rolleyes: If it was 6 years older.......I may have afforded it! :D

Mmmm. Mine was 'cased' before they stole mine. Basically as you suspect - they must have stolen a few land rovers in their time. I had deadlocks too. The factory locks had been opened when they 'cased' it. No lock damage. Until i found the remains and saw how much trouble the deadlocks had...

:eek: Blimey!!!! To be fair though.... :D My boss destroyed a 3 series bmw engine having no oil.... Now remind me how many oil warning systems are just under the speedo on one of those??? I am a chauffeur for my perils - many cars to deal with. The tdv8 RRS barely uses oil - but at 36k miles...

:lol: Would keep the neighbours cat from crapping under the motor too!! Mmmm. Ha ha ha :D

:frusty:

Almost! She shrugged off a previous attempted breakin a year before. I had grills. Deadlocks and secret switch. A lot of security systems are designed to prevent theft from and thus hinder theft of. Nothing to stop someone releasing handbrake from underneath and rolling onto a trailer -...

:D Oh yes. I have seen those devices. However. Their use in the manner you speak of is...... er rather dodgy? But trust me. I WOULD use one on private land as a perimeter alarm as they are intended.... However having my 90 recently stolen - stripped - and used to make a 'ringer' to sell on...

:screaming_bug_eye_f ha ha ha. Totally if they have already sold the i.d!!!!

:frusty: Waiting for insurance offer!!!!! :Cry: currently 90 less! :hurt:

:frusty: Mmmm. Damn. Waiting for insurance pay out!!!!!!! :Cry:

:violent: :fighting2: :bounce: :bolt:

UPDATE UPDATE!!! :D A 90 (not mine) was seized today - the one festooned with most of my stolen 90. The occupier of the premises is currently 'helping with enquiries' - ie. No bloody windows! He is still able to walk - for the moment ;) There would seem also to be numerous other parts...

Cheers all. It was long way into the plantation - needed 4wd - :hurt Had to park a van down the byway. Police gave the okay to collect 'personal possesions' - Roofrack, bonnet, roof and side panels. Workbench! Etc. Tiz all that could be carried out. As much as i wud like to have dragged...

GUTTED. In many ways. Thru the amazing modern tech out there....some geocache people found the remains of land rovers. They googled and managed to find me to contact me. They then sent the precise location where they found stuff. :censored: Found just a bare chassis with many mangled parts...

:violent: AAAARRRRGHHH! I have spotted a 90 for sale festooned with bodily parts off MY STOLEN DEFENDER!!!!!!!! And interior.................... and unless i am mistaken - MY ENGINE, cooler pipes, etc :mad: Well that's less to look for down at Newbury then..... and the police have just been...

No worries! There is a similar 90 around. I have seen her before. I have eyes out that way that work in the area too. If he doesnt spit her - his dogs woukd!!! Dealing with insurance assesors..... :flame2: :mad: Just how much does it take to explain "wanting for nothing" etc etc.....

Mmmm. My rear passenger windows were fitted so the rear most part slid rather than behind the cab (ie someone fitted them in the wrong sides) - i had broken it a year ago and there was a panel of wood in its place... .. unless the ht had been swapped? There was a mantac load cage in the rear - i...

Not a thing... :confused: They didnt let on much. Ah well. I spose i wouldnt get a call just yet if the police have recovered anything. I have the joy of going thru the insurance "interview" tomorrow. Keeping everything crossed..
