Thread: Time for new tyres on TDV6

Ha! - good pick up
I paid $186 for those stupid spat style mud flaps and they are useless. Too stiff. After just one trip on the beach driving through thick sand the RHS one cracked. Then a couple of weeks later on a deeply rutted track going up a mountain the LHS one cracked.
So until I can work out what to replace them with (Andrew - Landyandy seems to have found a solution) I decided to repair them by attaching a sheet of rubber on the inside of the flaps, by bolting it to either side of the crack.
Seems to work ok, but I have been told that it now looks like I have a LR with attitude as I have studs in my flaps

I use the eBay "Land Rovef" knock offs for about 1/4 the price.
Fit is slightly loose, but looks like OEM.
When they bugger up I'll make up a set like Andrews.

Also, any IID Tool will set TTM on any car apparently, that is one of the features not VIN locked.

I just sent Andrew a message asking for some details on how they are made.
btw - the rear spats are just as useless. They are too short, so less likelihood of scraping and cracking, but mud is still sprayed all over the front of our van - so what is the point of them! I use a Stone Stomper when travelling on unsealed roads, which stops the majority of stones flicking up to the van, but the fine sand and mud spray that gets through and around the mesh when wet is horrific!

I have those same ones and didn't put every screw in and used a bit of silicone where required. They flex a fair bit this way and haven't managed to damage them yet. I do have some extra heavy duty rubber ones to go on if I do manage to destroy them, but the plastic ones stop a lot of spray up the doors and on the front of the rear arches.

Any chance you have a link? There are a few on there and price varies quite a bit so would prefer to know which ones worked for you.

Not VIN locked, but it is Model locked. So if you buy one for D4, cannot set TTM on any other model (eg. RRS) with same IID Tool.

Ahh excellent to know!
