    Land Rover Alloy Wheel Centre Caps

    Hi All, wanted to share my experience with sourcing alloy wheel centre cap replacements (p38, disco 2 etc):
    1) You can get this small piece of plastic from an LR dealer for $44 each ie. $176 for a set
    2) Local LR supplier (not dealer) had them a little cheaper at $38 each or $152 for a set

    Seemed extraordinary so I took a punt on Ebay and sourced a set from the UK which cost $32 AU for the set of 4 including exchange fees and delivery. They are not exactly the same item as they have a black centre rather than green (they are from the super charged version) but frankly my car does not care.

    Cheers, Steve.

    I was going to say the ones you want are about a couple of pound each in the uk
    They are the same price as the D1 ones

    That was about right, it was just under 10 UK pounds for all 4 and then exchange fees and delivery brought them to $32 AU.

    Thanks Rosco, I actually needed all 4 and when fitting them this time I siliconed them in so hopefully will not be needing any more for a while.

    I bought 5 for my D2 alloys from MLR (Dealer) in Melbourne for $16 each. They are certainly no where near $44.

    Hi Chris,

    I think these were the all silver ones. My LR dealer and non dealer LR parts place did not have these and could only front up with the silver with green centres. They could have ordered them but did not know how long to get them.

    At the end of the day the UK mob were half the price of the 'all silvers' and a fifth of the price of the stocked items. I get that they have overheads but I totally recommend anyone needing replacements to look to the UK Ebay providers - these are genuine LR parts.

    Regards, Stephen.

    Hmmm, interesting. Been burnt by the dealers on these too, only to have it fall out a few weeks later.

    Place I take it too now recomends a small smear of silicone to keep them from falling out!
