sidesteps what is a reasonable cost fiited ?

Hl All,
Picked up the Disco 4 last weekend and really woukd like some sidesteps fitted , I have seen various costs from 279 to 645 just for the steps aftermarket and original respectively
What would be a reasonable price to pay for a pair plus fitting and does anybody know a suitable establishment in or around East Lancs ?


Any advice much appreciated
Cheers

£100 off eBay and DIY about an hour for first side and 20 minutes the second. So more than £200 is unfair.

Have you considered something like this:

Had these fitted to mine recently and they're just the job for my kids and folks.

Got mine from LR centre in Liverpool and fitted myself took about 2 hours in total have a look on you tube for clips on how to do it but it's straight forward just a lot of rolling around on the floor.

Save one of those big shiney cardboard boxes that everything seems to come in these days. Slit it down side to open out to a sheet. When rain goes off put it shiney side down and you can lie in the dry. Off road height helps!

From my experience I haven't found a reliable version of any electric retractable sidesteps, even gen landrover ones for the Range Rover are just a pain. Even when working, you are often out the door before the have come out! But most of the time they are jammed, seized etc.

The standard aftermarket Britpart/Allmakes ones seem good quality.

Regards
Steve

Opening a door removes the snow. Some of the brush type draught excluder could be added to door finishing strip if you need a very clean sweep.
