Sidesteps - fitment, or rather removal

I pick up my D3 on Friday and want to remove the sidesteps. I could get the dealer to do this but I want to sell them on. Does anyone have fitting instructions for me to have a look at ?

Thanks,

You do know you are going to have holes in the plastic sill covers when you're done don't you? Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

you could always sell them with the condition that the buyer swaps sills ...they are held on by about 8 clips ...piece off pi*s to remove ...

That way you get sills with no holes ..and buyer doesn't have to cut holes in there sills .

There may even be some one on here who would like some. G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

The clips that hold these on (which are very easy to break - Whistle ) are about 0.35p each

Part No.

I would be interested in the steps and we could swap the sills and I only live just up the road from you.

Unfortunately he's not about for a while to 'appreciate' your helpful comments....



I can confirm the steps are a doddle to remove. 90 mins to do both. Trickiest bit is finding a Philips bit to fit the two screws in the rear wheelarch without removing the wheel. Even a stubby screwdriver is too long. You'll need either a socket wrench with screwdriver bit or something similar. I've got a right angled srewdriver thing from an Ikea flat pack that I use. Disco 5 HSE Lux

I am also interested in getting rid of my side steps but on the condition that whoever buys them swaps the sill trim....

Anyone interested?
