2009 Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE Santorini Black

Steering wheel wear

My 2009 HSE has only 9,000 miles on it and the grainey leather steering wheel is already wearing smooth in places. Has anyone else had this problem? I understand the 2010's have the smooth nappa leather. Is this something Range Rover would replace on a fairly new low mileage vechicle?? Thx! Mike mike murphy

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Chawton White

Known issue, and owners in the UK and Aus have had them replaced under warranty!

I had mine replaced a year ago with a like for like, and it now is wearing again, so make sure they replace it with the new smooth leather version which was fitted to some MY09's and the new MY10's.

Just spoke with the dealership I purchased my 09 from about the steering wheel wear after only 10k miles and they said land Rover is not warrantying any interior parts anymore as it is now considered "wear and tear". sigh. Should have purchased smooth nappa wheel when I was in London last month. Oh well. mike murphy

They changed mine last week under warranty, no issues. New one is dead cool.

I got the new wheel, smooth nappa, about 18 months ago n ebay - about £150 ($225) and dealer fitted it for free - makes such a diference. Go and get one and be done with it!
