Stolen: Range Rover Supercharged (YC07 OLN)

[TheAllSeeingPie]

Taken from my drive last night be some thieving little scrots that have turned our house upside down as well. It's Black with privacy glass and is on gunmetal grey compomotive 18" wheels and has a straight through exhaust that sounds like a range rover but with extra decibels. There's also a Pistonheads smiley in the lower left corner of the rear window which is the union jack le-mans one. If anyone sees it please drop me a message and I'll forward it on to the police. Fortunately they didn't st in a wardrobe, set the place on fire or kill the cat so I guess it could be worse.

Ugh sorry to hear that, disgusting scum. Which area of Yorks was it taken from?

Taken from Chapel Allerton in Leeds. It looks basically stock apart from the wheels which are quite distinctive as they are the total opposite of what most people fit to a FFRR:

Am in Meanwood so will keep an eye out, but tbh if it's a targetted job it'll be on the way to some docks by now...

Often cars taken in that way are only driven a short distance and left in a quiet side road for 24 hours to see if there is a tracker on the vehicle before coming back to it so might be worth having a drive around the local area to see if it's parked up somewhere.

Best of luck getting it back.

Funnily enough this seems to have been the case but fortunately the police found it. Glad it didn't have much petrol in it after all. I think there's some minor damage on it and they haven't got the keys so that's going to be fun to sort out!

Good result

Sorry to hear about the theft.

Out of interest, what did you do to the exhaust to make it sound better? And did it make much difference? Thought about making mine sound a bit more like a V8 should, but was told it was quite difficult to do and leave an easy way to return it to stock.

[TheAllSeeingPie]

I had a pair of 200 cell sports cats put in which were a custom made direct fit replacement for the OEM cats and then a 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust with 6 straight through silencers and an H pipe crossover. The H piece is the key to the V8 sound as it gives you a muscle car like tone but a slight reduction in drone.

Where was it found?

[burriana]

As I suspected, complicated and expensive then!

So does that mean its a cat D car now? What happens re insurance paying out for the drop in value?

It won't be. If the insurance had paid out and it was subsequently found it'd be category x but due to the short period between loss and it breitling g found that would be unlikely to have happened yet.

No idea on any of it at the moment. Gonna inspect the car at the weekend and then the quote for repairs can go off to the ins company.

Years ago mine was stolen from Chapel Allerton and we found it locked with the alarm set at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Beckhills.

Ouch, mine was found 1 mile from my house. It appears the missus not filling it up was a good thing ...
