59 plate freelander 2 - wheel arches

Hi looks like the wheel arch rubbers are shrinking/degrading = are these easy to change/fit and could you confirm prices please?

Thank you

Paul

Very easy to change just pull the old ones off and refit with new, between £50-60 a set. 94 Disco 300 TDI Gone

User in here recommended this. I bought some and fitted it. Works as it should. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=ht...3155832884

You need the rubber for the front passenger side to have a bubble back seal to stop water getting into the airbox. 94 Disco 300 TDI Gone

There are other way to prevent that. Whistle


Back to OP. I removed mine as in my mind they are a 'mud-trap' and could cause body rot (Rust). I've been without them for 4yrs now and no problems.

Although, with the ebay stuff posted above, I'd recommend using some sort of sealant or adhesive. I fitted them and they seemed a good, tight fit initially, but recently lost the front driver's side arch trim on the motorway...

Clean the inner and outer fender lip with soap, water & degreaser, rinse/dry and then use a sling proof/water resistant heavy grease to line the inner/outer lip. Position & attach trim.....of course, it may help with sealing light rust but anything more, I would want to remove it, treat the area with a rust conversion product and then do as suggested.

Why try to solve a 'slight rust' problem ........ by refitting what caused the 'slight rust' in the first place ??

Sling grease ......... no sling them in the BIN !!

I replaced mine on a previous FL2 and they still clogged up with crap and the arches started rusting. My latest FL2 I removed them about a year ago and didn't replace them, all good. Thumbs Up
