A new phenomenon or a new plague. Almost a dozen higher end BMW models of the last generations were broking into last week in Belgium at people's homes, dashboards totally dismantled without any of those recent alarms going off. These high end latest generation car alarms are apparently not better than what we have in our Defenders.

You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

and I didn't like it at all. Bleeps everywhere, not a clue about where the corners are, park assist going berserk when there's almost a full meter left behind the car and complete detachment between driver and mechanics. Probably ok if you have to drive a lot, but it's the type of car that I get bored in. I missed our Defender after the first corner...

Maybe they are after the BMW bomb, you know the one that will go off if the car is driven at any speed less than 190 miles per hour, or with any consideration to other road users........ Oh woe, oh woe
My crusty old landrover, It will not go. |

if you look closely at the foot well, you can see the screw holding down the accelerator pedal has also been stolen.
Its the same go fast screw that was fitted to our nursery manager's 20 year old Pug 205 in the village. Driven flat out, tappets screaming each day for her 5km straight run to work. |
