Mantec Guard



Yep thats it availble from your local stealer

Tried Mantec they say speak to LR. LR say why do I want to fit one to a Range Rover

With the demise of the G4 I'm hoping stuff will appear like the recent winch trays on Ebay

All that extra kit weighs loads, so remember it will affect the driving characteristics (like having the massively heavy winch on the nose of the car) and of course performance and MPG.

Have to Disagree the Winch & Underbody dont change the handling the Air Susp makes up for it

MPG yep can take a nosedive

Roof Rack adds wind noise on road and other issues off road. Full Mud Terrains add noise and affect MPG

I presume there will be some impact on the life of the air suspension components though.

No why should there be any the winch is LR supplied so within factory tolerances

Run Many vehicles at expo spec with no diverse effects in and out of the UK, people forget its a Land Rover just doing what its built for but in the case of the FF in extreme comfort

What I meant was that you'll be running at extra weight all the time, so there may be more duty for suspension components. Doubt it'll make much difference unless you drive with 5 up all the time as well.
