Is my Range Rover susceptible to keyless theft?

After debating about buying a soft top (and seeking your input) I have swapped my trusted Land Rover Discovery for a 2014 Range Rover Sport. I am very happy with it but I have two questions you may be able to help me with.

1 - Does this model suffer from the problem reported in the press with thieves cloning the keyless ignition?

2 - I am disconcerted by not having a spare wheel (this space is taken by the third row of seats) are the tyre repair systems supplied effective?

1: Yes. Get a Disklok and wrap the steering wheel with it whenever you leave it parked. 2: Tyre repair systems rarely work.

Bigger and more economical than the old model. Great to drive on-road but with typical Land Rover off road ability. Fantastic traction and ability in the worst conditions.
