I think mine is on its way out, I can't be bothered with a warranty claim for that and would rather replace it before someone gets hurt, I am considering something like that:

Anyone's tried that?


I had the double version of one like that on a Land Rover years ago, they are ok but every now and again many Anglo Saxon expletives would follow after I'd bashed my shins on the thing while loading and unloading. The dogs would sometimes also use it instead of jumping straight in and out and I was always wary of them catching their claws or pads in between the bars. Steve.

Agreed, I had a double one on an old Series - great idea until I fitted it, they just stick out too far. It didn't last long before it was removed. John

Just de-rusted and sprayed mine. As well as the tow bar and rear cross member. Rather pleased with the results (took come cunning useage of masking tape) but not so pleased it needed doing in the first place. Still appears solid though but definitely looks like a weak point. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Just found this thread. Our rear step is also pulling out. Local Dealer said he had not seen any doing it before and that we must have hit it! Wish I had been aware of it being the subject of a service bulletin before we took it in Sad

What is the official land rover fix Question

Thanks

Guess part of this is also big washers on the inside of the bumper! Our problem is the whole bumper bending rather than the rivnuts pulling through the existing holes.
