ISTR I had to virtually give away the 2 sets I had. Each light was worth less than a couple of coffees from Starbuckies. Thumbs Up

These work well, but a bit expensive in solicitors fees

After reading this thread, today I just screwed in some Philips number plate screws along with their matching number plate black bases with attached overcaps (I already had in the shed).
Not ideal, but the caps would need to be pried off to access the screws, and that should be a bit more difficult to do with the tailgate closed....... especially as I don't live in Kent.

Fishing weights work well, the split shot type just gently tap one in the head of each screw.

Just ordered some of those screws off eBay seeing as this seems to be the latest thing to add to the long list of things worry about with Disco ownership Rolling Eyes

Wouldn't it be great if people just stopped Censored nicking stuff.

The scum that are nicking D4 lights are probably the suppliers of these anti theft screws.

What a novel way of creating demand for your product.

Ordered 48hrs ago from the link. Now fitted. If the scumbags really want them I’m sure they will get them off but every little helps I suppose.

Was this resolved in the D4.5? I ask because I have bolts holding my rear lights in rather than screws. Should I still replace them?

Sadly the market is probably fueled by all the wannabes who want their D3 to look like a D4.

Tamperproof Torx will only be a fix for a short period of time as they will go armed with them too. You can buy them in screwdriver format with long thin shafts even in Halfords so it's not much of a deterrent.

I don’t see how the hex head helps guys. I have a full set of skinny hex drivers just like screwdrivers. If it’s common knowledge I suppose the b Censored ds will just use them.
