Impressive!  V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

Hi, just a heads up for everyone:

I just purchased LR140295 cradle from Maltings 4x4 for £426.00 delivered, this fits the later AdBlue vehicles 2017 on, but check your VIN with them.

They now have 6 left in stock.  V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

That's a good price....

Can you take a few pictures so we can compare the old to the later ones...?? Cheers Pete

Hi Pete, to be confirmed, so please don’t anyone take this as Gospel:

LR140295 Post 2017 “ADBLUE”:-

Never heard that excuse from a galvanisers,,, sounds like BS to me, the one here sorted a sandblast themselves, I could have got it cheaper doing it separately, but couldn't be bothered, they have a blasters they use a lot so that excuse does sound flimsy....

Drive to Hull....!!?? Pete

Hi Pete, can you PM me where you had yours done and the cost, if you don’t mind, please?

Thinking maybe when the new one is on, getting my old one blasted and galvanised to sell on here to recover some of the cost, as I have to pay someone with a lift to do the swap. Not a particularly cheap bit of preventive maintenance!  V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

having had a customer that wanted every thing powder coated and using several different company's, we found it hopeless.
our sand blaster told us to have it painted, it will last ten times longer he said.
so, i painted some things with a paint brush, that was years ago and its still good, the finish would be better if it was sprayed.
now we just sand blast and paint.
power coating is ok inside, away from the weather and the sun RR 2005 4.4 petrol

I’ve had my deployable steps PC’d and they are right behind the front wheels of course. After a year, no chips or corrosion they still look as new, same can’t be said for the original JLR paint. I have experience with industrial brakes, and yes the early PC used to chip & flake easily, but move on several years, and PC can now be comparable with Zn, but being thin steel, I think hot dip is better for corrosion resistance, although black PC looks better. V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

Thanks Pete.
Well, my LR140295 arrived today via FedEx in a huge cardboard box from Maltings 4x4 -complete with Duckworth stickers, -work that one out!
Here are the pics, complete with badly touched-up paintwork, JLR style:

Mine just came back from LR after having it replaced. finally after a good few months, they managed to get the part. I think they were waiting for a stamping run from the supplier as there were non in the system.

Anyhow, it was just over £900 all in with the VaT, which given I can’t do it myself and it was close to the local Indy price wasn’t tooooo bad. Will outlast my ownership….. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

@NMJ,

In that case it leaves me £215 budget to get it blasted & plated/painted properly.
The next owner will thank me, lol!
The OEM paint must be pretty cr*p, given mine is still in the box, yet been retouched already  V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!
