Have you ever heard the sickening sound of your plastic fuel tanks hitting something solid? and then realising you have to continue, because the vehicle (non LR) is stuck.
I promise you, that you will wish:
(a) that the damage won't stop you traveling the 80+ miles home
(b) that you had fitted the Mantec tank guard.

To be honest you have to be clumsy/trying too hard to damage the sump on a FL2, but the front bib is easily damaged.
God forbid that you hit a hidden solid object when crossing muddy water. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

I ordered I tank guard from eBay yesterday for 99.99
And a fitting kit from mantec 68 ish quid
Got it all today
Very happy

saw that on ebay, and also saw a second hand sump and tank mantec guard but it was collection only from down south so no good for me up norf - FL2 3.2 i6 - There is no Replacement for Displacement

If my wife ever sells my stuff for what I told her I paid for it, there will be some bargains out there!

Yes I see that to I would have traveled for both sump/tank guard
But I think my eBay/ mantec new fitting kit worked out better for me I got fitting instructions with the kit to

I fitted my eBay tank guard today quite easy

Looking for a used or brand new Mantec sump guard and tank guard for my Fl2 2014. Any one would like to help? [/code]

Only photos I can find
There is quite a bit to the fitting kit £68 seems a good deal to me 👍
Hope this helps

Many thanks, I've just found pictures in another thread, as you say there are quite a few bits in the kit so
I think i will buy it, thanks again.

I searched but did not find an answer...

Are the mantec sump/tank guards the same for all fl2's or is there a difference pre/post 2011?

I'm trying to find one to fit on my hippo but would hate to get the wrong one (if there is a difference).

Also if anybody is willing to part with theirs please pm me

I think that the Mantec parts were designed very early in the fl2 life. I’d fitted the later bibs to the front of my car 2007 and had to take them off again to fit the sump guard.

The sump guards fit MY07 to MY12 (don't know if one was produced for MY13 onwards)
Not sure on fuel tank guard tho, but as it uses brackets I'd reckon one could get it to fit all models. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

In Jan 2018 I installed a genuine Mantec front protection plate.
Picked this up second hand, although it is a '317' (model to fit later FL2) I went into the work shop and converted it to a '316' (earlier model FL2) plate. Drilled a few holes made packing spacers, job done. [in fact this plate will now fit ALL model years of FL2s]
