2005 can't have Stormers???

Hi.

I am having a 2005(05) plate RRS TDV6 delivered from Wakefield Land Rover on Tuesday.

And after frantically searching for 20" Stormers, today my boyfriend kindly explains to me that early RRS's, i.e. 05's cannot have 20" wheels fitted as it voids warranty and causes the car to have further problems.

Is this true?

Has anybody else had this problem?

I can't wait to hear your thoughts!!!

Many thanks,

Leanna.

Do a search... much has been said on this topic.
Basically, on earlier models you need a "damped" steering rack to accommodate 20" stormers. Just check if your vehicle has this and no need to worry about warranty issues if its there. Malaysia Boleh!

Bobby is spot on.

There is a post a very very long time ago with pictures showing what to look for.................................. I'm not meaning to be rude but you could search the forums using the "Search" function to look for Damped Steering Rack. I'm not sure about this and maybe somebody else can put me right but it may be that the damped rack is now standard on all models. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

I seem to remember speaking to a stealer about this and he said retro fitting is not an option as the whole rack needs replacing, not just fitting a damper.

All models should now have it fitted as standard (I believe!!!) 06 RRS TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony, PTI, Running Boards, Privacy, S/C Grille/Vents, Stormers, Tasmods, Black Badge Soon...

Yes, you will have to replace the whole rack and yes, I do believe all later models have them as standard. Thumbs Up Malaysia Boleh!
