United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3
RAI mantec/terrafirma

So I had one kicking about and decided to fit it the other day.
Now I don't know if I got a 5to5 on Friday version or a cheap knock off copy but the fit n finish of the components was very sub standard.
Now I'm not knocking the company or supplier but I would've expected better, unless like I said mine was a clone.
Has anybody else bought or fit one recently?

A few of examples:

Tabs on Metal mounting plate for wing almost flat making it sit too high.

Metal bracket for A pillar bent wrong way.

The two main body mounting holes not drilled through.

The fit between top and main body 5mm out on corner.

Wrong size rivnut.

Surely they all ain't sold this way?

Did you buy a genuine one from those companies? Or was it off eBay?

I got a copy one off an eBay supplier that had a problem with one of the captive nuts but he replaced it without question.

IIRC the real deal ones where around £400 - the copy I got was £100 so I expected a niggle or two but nothing major.

Bought it online but from a reputable company and agent for various landrover products and other 4x4 accessories. Did try contact em but no answer so assuming there not working, plus I've had it quite a while n only just got round to fitting.

I bought a Mantech one from a relatively well known company. Bought it on their ebay store but they have a web presence and I think a physical store also.

The car is in the UK and I am not, so I've not seen it in person yet, but my father fitted it the other day and sent photos. To be honest it doesn't look that great in terms of quality from what I can see.

He's a mechanic to trade and in his words ' it was a pain in the Censored to fit, you can tell it's not genuine and it must have been cheap '
