I've had an Uncle Ray protector ever since I lost my second spare wheel on my D3. Once I realised that it was available I bought one and I haven't lost one since. I have it on my D4 for the last 4 years and 7 years on my D3, never had a moments trouble with it. Simple solution but clever too.
Cancelled my order for 18MY HSE Luxury TD6 in Byron Blue with Oyster/Riems blue. Full Dynamic pack with deployable tow bar, Drive Pro pack, cubby fridge, 22" 5011's, ugly kid glass, mudflaps, passenger footwell net and adaptive headlights.
Whilst my vehicle was in for some updates, (service warning, door handle covers, infotainment-still waiting!) The spare wheel mods were carried out. The general opinion in the workshop, was that Ray's plate was a far better device than the item supplied by JLR.
The additional winch cable protection was fitted, but my original plate was refitted, as it offered a closer fit in the wheel and did not leave the tube at the end of the winch cable exposed.
The tube, if some thieving had the time and inclination, could be cut and the cable then compromised.
At least JLR customer service are listening to us!
SWMBO's was supposed to have this fix at her last service - I checked last night and saw no difference and nothing deleted from TOPIX. I asked the Dealer today what I should look for and was told that it wasn't done due to lack of parts at the time - they now have them but ....they did give me the TSB - I can cut'n'paste the text but not the pictures.
Here's the important bit(s)

I was thinking the same DG and doubling it up, but if going for a space saver there is no point I thought, plus the factory one may not fit let alone Ray's one
Lol that's another reason why i rather get a space saver than loose the original alloy. Contemplating buying a used wheel. Don't care if it's got a bit of kerb rash, as long as it doesn't leak air am happy.
