l guess that's pretty much what the Discovery 4 looks like at the back. lt's not too bad.

Watching.... I actually think it will look ok! I need to use a bike rack on my tow bar regularly and it would certainly help with that!

I know it may not be to everyone’s taste but has many benefits for me.
1, I can fit my bike carrier on 2. I can see out of the rear window better 3. The tailgate is so much lighter to open and close 4. Vehicle isn’t as long / more space behind when backed into a space etc 5. Nobody can pinch the spare wheel!!! Last edited by DefenderMidlands on 24th Sep 2023 4:41pm. Edited 1 time in total |

My car is carpathian grey. I bought a black one and chips away painted it for £20 as nobody makes a grey

Has anyone who has removed the spare wheel and either used the inserts or filled the tail gate informed the insurance? I cant seem to find the answer
Also has anyone tried to part ex without the wheel as i wasn't sure if it would take value off the car as I was looking to completely fill the tail gate in with a company near me |

I might be missing something here, but what happens if you have a puncture while you’re out and about? Do you keep the spare in the back or just chance it?

Tyre repair kit, but not in all circumstances can you use it.
For example if you have a tyre cut, then that can be repaired. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

Land Rover assist said it didn’t matter. They would recover you home and fit spare wheel or take you to a local garage. They said several defenders have no spare wheel anyway as they had been stolen so it’s better than that. MY23 D250 Defender 110 X-Dynamic SE, Carpathian Grey, 7 Seat, Electric Towbar
