Speak to tlo for winch and ray for protector.
The wheel is the tricky part as they dont often come up for sale as singles

You will definitely need a RLD wheel protector and give Nick AKA TLO a ring and you will need a new winch as the  scum tend to just cut through the cables. There are normally a few people on here with wheels and tyres up for sale, keep an eye out or put a wanted ad up and remember don't replace the spare wheel until you have a protector as the scum are sure to be keeping an eye out for when you replace it.

You may get by with a space saver for the time being. I had a Stratstone D4 while mine was in garage and it had a space saver on it.
You'll be able to keep that in the boot as a temp till you get a full size spare. Ian

Don't forget to grab a can or three of tyre weld in the meantime.

Thanks.
As a matter of interest do LR only supply one size of Space Saver for D3 & D4?
If not what sizes do they supply?
I ask as I seem to remember that they only did an 18" Space Saver for the D3.

After reading your post I decided to go ahead and contact Ray about a wheel protector, ordered it on Monday evening and it arrived Thursday and it took nearly 5 mins to install!! Looks like a great bit of kit, thank you Ray for the speedy service and what looks like a sturdy piece of equipment!
