Thanks for the details mate 👍🏼

Will I be able to move the car a short distance, I want to move it somewhere more secure, when it goes into limp mode what exactly happened? I’ve not experienced it yet believe it or not lol

Excess + loss of no claims discount x 3-5 years

Limp mode as it sounds really - you'll be able to drive, but not very fast - no real acceleration - should be OK for a short distance move, but if on a public road, you may hold other people up.

No it would be down a quiet lane I live out in the sticks now so won’t be holding traffic up, it’s just until I can get it sorted which will prob be in the new year now

Best if you can repair it yourself, as most say, insuruers are a"funny" about claims. Guess it's called rip em off.

Make sure you tie up anything hanging down to avoid damaging more electronics and moving shouldn't give you too much trouble a low speed, altough tihe lane won't be quiet while you're on it,  Cheers

Good that NFU let you out of a claim, but not all insurers will & it puts you into a grey area if you move insurers as technically you made a claim, even if you subsequently withdrew.
Even 'worse' in your case as you have an 'accident' on record - and most insurers ask about accidents or claims in the last x years

Cars gone to Land Rover Center in Huddersfield to see what the damage is I will keep you posted guys thanks again for reply’s

Meant to ask if you guys would report it to the police?

I would if it was me. I imagine all you will get is an incident number though.....in case you need it for the insurers you may or may not use.

Yours is the first RR ive seen having it nicked but there is an epidemic of vans having cats nicked! May i make a suggestion? If you think there is any chance of it happening again? Ask the garage to weld a chain to it and bolt the other end of the chain to a hidden bolt higher up! That way they can't get it off/out

Anyone know if there have been any extraordinary improvements in factory fitted cat security in recent years, or are we all equally vulnerable? L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

Nothing is safe, there are aftermarket guards available for the very easy steel cats on vans.

I don't think this is the exact video but I watched something the other day on TV and this happened in broad daylight. Apparently the hybrids have really expensive cats
