Browsing the configurator in the new web-site, I note that the cost of dealer fit accessories is now said to include fitting cost where previously it did not. Either that or I have been dreaming.

For some accessories, there's little or no work involved but for others, there's drilling and cutting with the deployable side steps being the Big Daddy of them all needing several hours work.

In my Evoque, I fitted the accessories myself after seeing first hand the dealer's cack-handed effort to fit mud-flaps on someone else's car and so I have never actually had a dealer install accessories and been charged for installation.

I'm wondering if I am wrong and accessory prices have always included fitting or is this something new? Mark

you weren't dreaming ... fitting costs were extra.....

Sounds like a cock up on the configurator.... and text.....

Someone at LR will get a slap on the wrist....

Unless of course they genuinely are now including it.... unlikely very un LR  2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's

Thought I was getting a good deal when my dealer gave me free fitting on my dealer fit options, might have to re negotiate to see what else I can get 2015 HSE SDV6 Scotia Grey, ebony / lunar, colour coded, deployable steps, TV, sliding pano and a few other bits. Now gone
2018 Velar R-Dynamic HSE sdv6 silicon silver

Eh? Surely all that has happened is that the cost of fitting has been added to the price?

Mudflaps £250 for front and rear on the configurator now.....you can get them on eBay for around £100.

It was those deployable side steps which hadn't changed in price which got me thinking. It maybe that LR didn't want to miss out on the installation work, though I would have thought the average LR service shop is not interested in the hassle of fitting them. Mark

Deployable side steps were £2,220 and mudflaps were £60 a set (£120) in the interactive brochure downloaded earlier this year and correct until June 2014. Now £2,750 and £250.

Thanks, things are changing by the moment. The prices have been increased to include fitting but it's good there seems to be a lower cost option via Duckworth. Mark
