Hi all, does anyone know of a source for the "U" section trim that goes around the front and rear wheel arches.
Mine has "Swollen" and is wanting to fall off, as well as catching any mud!.
I have looked on the Net, but I cannot find any with the same profile.
It measures about 25 mm wide, and needs to fit onto 2-3 mm thick flange.

You must mean these bits

The Part numbers are;
LLR026342 £5.64 (Rear)
LLR001624 £3.83 (Rear)
LLR005165 £10.41 (Front)

Thanks for the info.. I just assumed, as usual, that the dealer would want an arm and leg !

Thanks again.

Many other people are in the same boat, mines look worse for wear too

That's spooky just noticed last night that my four are looking a bit shabby and was planing on going through the forum today looking for advice.

Sods law the car is just out of warranty  SD4 Sports LE Black ...

Had all four replaced under warranty and with no hesitance from my dealer – known problem he said. It’s the metal spring clip inside the rubber that corrodes and causes the swelling I was told. I guess it is a very good idea to replace them earlier rather than later as the corrosion may spread to the wheel arch metal. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
