Just fitted the latest 2014/15 alloy wheel centre caps as fitted to all new Freelanders. Makes all the difference, keeps the car looking new.


Need to do something with the locking wheel nuts though! I'll have to get the silver paint out! MY11 Freelander 2 TD4 S, Santorini Black, Almond Cloth, Full MY 2013 facelift, Factory Privacy Glass, Clear View Pack, Folding Mirrors, Rear Parking Sensors, LR 19" DogLeg Alloys, and lots of other stuff!

They look nice where did you get them?, been looking at my lockers and wondering if I should replace them with regular ones as recommended on the D3 forum to avoid problems in the future on a dark night in a monsoon. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

Got them off ?bay, £12 for the set. What goes wrong with the Locking nut? MY11 Freelander 2 TD4 S, Santorini Black, Almond Cloth, Full MY 2013 facelift, Factory Privacy Glass, Clear View Pack, Folding Mirrors, Rear Parking Sensors, LR 19" DogLeg Alloys, and lots of other stuff!

They just suffer with rust, they may start to look unsightly but that's all, they are not of the same carp design as the Disco ones.
If your still under warranty, they used to replace them

Thanks, the Disco seems to be particularly problematic with the 2 parts separating leaving you stranded at the roadside, will stick with the lockers if they are a better design. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

Get it muddy and then you can save £12  * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.
* 2011 4.4 TDV8 Full Fat. Amazing piece of kit.
* GONE.2012 RR Sport HSE SDV6 Orkney Grey. Rocket ship. 33mpg.
* Range Rover Classic '93 200Tdi Factory fit
* 1949 80" in family since 1975

I've taken the locking nuts off both our Freelanders. When stuck at the side of the road it's something else to lose or go wrong.

Don't worry DrRpb, I live in the sticks it's muddy alot of the time. But when it's clean it's very clean... Just not for long.  MY11 Freelander 2 TD4 S, Santorini Black, Almond Cloth, Full MY 2013 facelift, Factory Privacy Glass, Clear View Pack, Folding Mirrors, Rear Parking Sensors, LR 19" DogLeg Alloys, and lots of other stuff!

What wheel centres did you have fitted before Stownrow ?? Black FL2
L200 Warrior

The black wheel centres look really good on a black car. I've also fitted the black badges, but less enthusiastic about those. The silver is too sparkly, so they are a bit too bling for me. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Just the standard silver ones with a green and silver logo. They were starting to look tatty so this seemed like a perfect little upgrade. 

They certainly do get tatty. I think the salt gets to them. Casreful with the green badges as well - I scratched one with a microfibre cloth - one reason for getting the stick-on black ones. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
