It is a very common issue. My NSR mudflap on the 110 has a very extensive chunk removed from it after Dragging the caravan to Eastnor and back. Speeds along the m5 were in the 55 - 65 region.
I'm looking to fit some cord / cable to retain the mudflap and stop it happening again. |

Why are we revisiting this exact same issue again less than three weeks since you last posted on this albeit in a different topic? What did your dealer have to say about it?

Greeni: Haha, very good. Joking a side these were max figures on the motorway empty usually not above 40mph on A roads, slower when loaded.
Just trying to show the worse possible situation it's been in, to tell you the truth they tucked themselves underneath at about 35mph on a B road the last time, it's ridiculous. Devon-Rover: Yeah I understand it is now on the Puma's but only found this out when it was too late. I will probably tie them up and do the same when I have fitted new ones but don't think I should pay for these first replacements when using the vehicle as it's intended. K9F: Unresolved hence post. |

I am interested in this as it has happened to my Brother-in-Law's 110 & I am holding off towing with mine for this reason! Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I take it that those of you getting new flaps are still covered under warranty? Or are land rover honoring the fact that this is a towing vehicle and replacing all (surely not )

If im honest im not sure who is paying for mine the dealer or warranty, but since they sold me the car with the tow bar fitted its for them to sort out as that alone states its a towing vehicle.

The early ones had a stiffener inside the flap , surely its worth fitting something similar to prevent it happenning
Something like this eBay Item No. 221191801731 |

It happened on my first trip with a caravan on the back. I will be looking to add some sort of metal strip to prevent it happening again.
Im going to try and call in to the dealers this week and see what they say. I can't see much being done on a five year old truck however. |
