    What's a minor roll-over only once?
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    I have it on good authority they have solved the problem, by, putting the tyre back on the bonnet. Where it should be.

    Well if Jeep can have a 7 slot grill as adesgn cue, surely that's not asking too much. We can even put a label on it. Pedestrian air bag. Another LR first

    Don't have a pic of mine handy, but here are some Google images of them. I think The Expedition Centre and APT both stock them, as well as the Aussie-made Ridjidij one.

    Oh, sorry. No, don't have that pic, but just imagine the left top of the door above the handle angling out further than the bottom, so the gap is wider at the top than the bottom, and you'll get the idea. The weight of the wheel had also made the door chatter against the rubber seal and perforated it below the lock, on the left side.
    Point being, get a wheel carrier.
