Feel for you there mate, what a pain the @rse....hope the only damage is the side window and the car does not get registered as stolen recovered.
It shouldn't if the insurer doesn't pay out on it, should it?I've had Plod from a neighbouring county on the phone this evening. He was very reluctant to tell me anything but implied that my incident is not isolated and he's keen to have my car inspected by a LR dealer.

sounds like another security bypass the manufacturer know about, but isn't public yet? didn't BMW have this a few years back?
BMW had a problem that the keys had no unique features and could effectively be "cloned" without the original key using the software that dealers use to program a key to a car. Unsurprisingly this software ended up in the wrong hands and they could pretty much make any key they wanted.Nick1point9 said:

As far as I know BMW still have the problem. Audi most certainly do as I have recently found out to my cost.NomduJour said:

It seems that a number of Range Rovers were taken using the same method
Do you know what that method was? Presumably a gap in the alarm sensor coverage and programing a new key?Gassing Station | Land Rover | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
