How easy is it to fit Land Rover side steps to a RRS
Or should it be left to the dealer to fit ??

I replaced mine which were rusty the other day.

I didnt replace the brackets but what looks to be involved is :

Open doors, remove full length plastic trim which has a screw in the rear wheel arch liner - possible some clips holding it on. I didnt have to do this.

This off allows you to place the three brackets into the subframe - 2 bolts up into the botoom of the car and some in the side.

Once these are on you place the running board onto of the L shaped brakets you have just fixed and fasten with 6 nuts and bolts and repeat.

I think that is it. The hardest bit is unknown to me and thats removing the plastic trim to fix the brackets initially..

20 mins per side , easier with two people 2014 5.0SC AB

If you stand on it, it breaks and you injure yourself or someone else does.....who do you blame/sue....

with things like this I would always go to dealer....

I find it strange that people buy £50K to £80K cars then scrimp on a few hundred quid to get a job done right....

Just my opinion but then again I'm not very 'hands on', I've never even checked my tyre pressure myself.

I'd hate to think how you clean your man veg then!! haha Reminds me from a scene from Eddie Murphy film - Coming to America, when he's in his royal bath.....

I got my side steps through land rover, i took them to a garage next to my work and got them fitted for me, the guy said he hopes he dont come across them again it took him nearly 4 hours to fit, thats all i can say ha im sorry if this gives you no hope to fit them  S.Wilson, range rover sport hse, 2.7, stornoway grey!

My brother in law owns his own garage near bedford and milton keynes and we did my RRS about six months ago. It took about 2 and a half hours and that was with the car up on a ramp. They are not hard, just awkward and needs two people in places. My advice, pay a garage, just choose a LR specialist local to you so much cheaper labour rates
