2008 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Buckingham Blue

Did mine as well this last few days and very similar condition to sumshiftguy (mine’s a 2008). Was able to reuse all clips no problem. One thing; I was missing the foam blocks - what are they for and if necessary (assume so?) anybody know the part number.

Thanks.

The foam blocks appear to fill a void between the end of the sill and the end of the plastic sill cover and stop muck accumulating. Maybe only later ones had them fitted. Not sure 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Thanks, sounds like maybe mine didn’t have them then; certainly the sill covers didn’t look like they had been off before.

Me and technology don't go together mate. I'll ask my daughter to post a picture in a bit.

Kev - any luck with a picture of your mod? I'm intrigued

Ay up Rob. I will try and post some photos mate. Things didn't quite work out! I ordered 1 meter of the seal for each side thinking there would be plenty to do the kink. 1 meter is only just long enough to cover the whole arch without cutting for the kink!!!! It does look nice though fitted and virtually covers all the metal lip. Search Amazon,' TMH large u section 21mm x 8mm.'

2012 Range Rover Westminster TDV8 Orkney Grey

Not the best of photo's to be honest, but shows the door open then closed & using standard non Freelander 2 trims.
There's a minute gap between the new trim & the actual door trim, enough to cause stone chips?.......I dunno.
We'll 'suck it & see' what happens when we eventually get back on the road in a short while [I hope].

2010 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

What are people using to "fill" the trims before fitting. I did mine last year and filled them with grease but when I had a sneaky look today the grease has gone. Is there a "solid" version of waxoyl type product that could be used. 2010 3.6TDV8 Stornoway Grey/ Black interior - gone
2005 4.4V8 (M62) Bonatti Grey/ Parchment interior - gone
1998 4.6HSE Blue/ Cream interior (can't remember exact colours) - gone
1977 White - gone (should have kept)

2008 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

I used Bilthamber wax for my tailgate. Injected using the "straw" provided. They have a number of products. Better than grease IMHO.
