Just been on the LR UK website and noticed the 2010 and 2005-2009 accessory brochure can now be downloaded to your laptop. However while electonically flicking through it I notice that LR now has an approved accessory snow traction system Part No LRO 05737

You can down load the entire musical brochure here - it's the first pdf I have downloaded that has a musical background to it!

Please excuse my ignorance - does anyone know how easy/difficult these would be to fit?

Also - would they get damaged if you drove on a road with them which had no snow - I mean; if your home & surrounding 'B' Roads were covered in snow & then you got out on a clear 'A' road for example.

Good point. I'm guessing they are great on packed snow.

Now thinking that the snowsock site that Skywalker has located is prob best for uk.....no spikes to get broken on tarmac.

Don't think Roofbox sell snowsocks big enough to fit 275/40/20 TDV6 - gone

You cant use snow chains on roads that are not completely covered with a layer of snow/ice as you'll dig up the road and ruin your tyres. Not sure about the legality of it either.

Try this site http://www.snowchains.co.uk/cgi-bin/suvindex2.pl

Good selection for all sizes, nice video demos on how to fit (looks easy enough) the Klack & Go look the business. They also offer what seems like a good trade-in service if you change vehicle and need a different size.

I don't work for them honest, I just spent a while trying to source a pair for my 350Z before taking the plunge and trading in for a TDV8 HSE pick it up at the end of the month. Cant wait!!!!

First post, so dont shout at me too much.

Regulations for using snow chains in the UK are a bit strange! There has been a lot of discussion about them over on the Scottish Land Rover Owners Forums. Turns out they are not illegal in the UK BUT you are not permitted to fit any device to the wheels of your car that will cause damage to the road surface................. they don't worry about damaging your car, just the road surface. This means that we would have to have a lot more hard compacted snow before you could even use chains without risk of damaging the surface. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Government hypocrisy again!! They should be more worried about repairing the damage on the UK's roads which is already there (potholes) - and has been for some time!!

Thanks for the reply BulletProof Bomb - i've decided to buy a set of winter tyres for the car. The manual reccommends a winter tyre for 20" Wheels & i'll most likely opt for that around September time; as I don't see the point now.

In all honesty my car with 20" Low Profiles coped with the recent snow/ice which was thrown at it very well - didn't get stuck or struggle once. I guess it can only be even better with Winter Tyres fitted!! '10 Jaguar XKR Coupe 5.0L Supercharged.

Well today round here must have been the equivalent of midsummer for the council workers - pothole repairers were out stopping the traffic while they examined all the potholes, stuck a gas torch into them and then dropped CONCRETE into them! At least the salt on the roads will make the concrete set more quickly!
I foresee lots of chipped and smashed windscreens as the patches break up in the next frost.
Also the refuse collectors must have decided that the ice and compacted snow is no longer as slippery as it was for the last 3 weeks as we got our first rubbish collection of non recyclable and food-waste since the week before Christmas! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
