Asked LR dealer today for a price for supplying and fitting side steps - £650 are they kidding Any suggestions where I could get a cheaper alternative

Advert on here by slimer or eBay

My dealer wanted £300+ for my side tubes, I paid them £65 to fit a £100 pair off eBay Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thanks npinks. ~Before I visit Ebay can you tell me if the tubes are usually much cheaper tha n the steps. The main reason for fitting either will be to prevent other car doors taking a lump out of mine in Tesco etc.

Tubes are cheaper and only offer protection from underneither when offroading, the doors stick out further Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Tesco online saves a fortune in car park damage. You can get strips for the doors (see Gallery) may not look so nice but still looks better than a few dings. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Thanks for the info Guys It sounds like the tubes have changed since the FL1 days. I had a pair that protruded about 4-5 inchs from the doors

I can get Genuine Freelander 2 side steps for £356 + VAT and I fit them myself. Very easy job to do. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Have a look at this ebay item - it's been mentioned before by others and I have pictures in my Gallery eBay Item No. 150422092103 - I got them for £210.00 (Best Offer) actual Buy it now price is £235.00 upon checking in more detail offers had been accepted at £205.00 posted - Full LR Instructions and very easy to fit with a little know how.

Been on the car now for nearly a month and I can report no issues
