2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto Barolo Black

Welcome to the club.

There are a few "Essentials" that people always recommend for security.

Lok Lights for the headlights
Protect the rear lights like Ron suggests
Move the OBD port
RLD spare wheel protector - Ad Blue version for you as you're euro 6.
Turn off keyless entry
Buy a GAP diagnostic tool as it helps if (when) a dashboard light appears ro you wan to enable a feature after an upgrade

I'd recommend the ALTOX controller for the FBH as it's winter and it's so good to start warming your car up from anywhere. It has the added benefit that it has a GPS tracker if you wish.

After that it's then just mods and toys as you find them

Wow! Thank you so much everyone!
I've brought:
The headlight protectors.
Pedal lock. (Disklock too cumbersome for missus).
Caps for rear lamp clusters.

In terms of moving the ODB port i'll have to have a butchers to see what I can do there and search these forums for pics.
I found the instructions to disable keyless entry (image attached).
Thanks again everyone and i'll keep you updated.

You can also buy an adaptor loom straight to plug the Altox to D4 wiring loom Loom.

Diagnostic tool. Check the forum for sale pages on here as they come up from time to time for sale.

I bought an OBD extension cable from the site shop. Email shop@fnltd.co.uk as they may be able to off you one?

Cheers Nik, I emailed them and Martin Lewis sent me this back:

What I made up was OBD 'dummy' ports, which extended just the power to a diagnostic tool, but not the communications/diagnostic buses.

I can still do the OBD dummy, however to be 100% honest with you I can no longer buy the parts in for the price you can buy a generic Chinese made OBD dummy kit for on eBay. e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154743995010

You can also fit security torx screws in place of the original philips ones

Any one know what size those screws are, please?
I got the plates to secure the front lights and want to sort the rears also. Thanks Just 'cause you got the power... that don't mean you got the right.

As I found out yesterday, to fit the front plates you need to undo the four chassis bolts (size:T40). I brought a dedicated T40 screwdriver (like an idiot) but they are tightened-on so much I couldn't undo them with that so I ended up getting some of these bad-boys for my small torque wrench:

The rear light clusters are held on with just two quite small screws each but these have a 'flange' just wider than the plastic number plate covers that I had brought

All I did then was cover them both with five or six strips of thick black electrical tape. You ain't getting through that mate.
