So, it would appear that my far too ample frame has finished off the drivers side sidestep.

I got out the car earlier and the step continued to go down when I put my foot on it.

i have a feeling that these are not OE type steps Mark as the bracket should be in one piece with the step,

Ah. Thanks Stan.

I think they were on it from new, but that doesn't mean they were OE ones I suppose.

I've asked Dan, so well have to see what occurs......

Might end up having some made then.

Could anyone with an early car and sidesteps have a look and see if yours look the same bracket wise ?

Could be a dodgy sidestep made in the same place as the gearbox !

I've still got the pair that came off mine, they are originals, they are a bit rusty but only surface, still good and strong, took my not inconsiderable weight....

You are more than welcome to have them... and I'm not that far from you....

That's very kind of you Pete.

I was sat here wondering what the best course of action could be.

I've used a jack and pushed it back up, but it will bend again if used.

Did yours go into the front mudflaps ?

I'm in Chesterfield, so not too far.

My Mum lived in Routh near Beverley for about 20 years, so I have been known to visit the East Yorkshire !

Do you have any pics ? Are the brackets part of the step like in Stans pics then ?

Many Thanks

Mine (earliest of early cars!) are the same as stan's photos and Haylands too. .

Well as they are no use, I sort of investigated removing the ones that are on, only to find I can't undo the bolt going into the chassis. The edges of it seem a bit corroded. Not sure how tight it is, as I can't get purchase with a socket or spanner.

Not tried banging a smaller socket on yet, don't want to totally stuff it up if I have to get a garage to undo them.

Pain really, they only need to be slackened off to get the bracket out.

Just my luck....

Has anyone tried them socket things that are supposed to undo worn heads ? Any good ? 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I sheared the bolts off on one side (the inner ones). Was able to drill out the remaining stud, then drop a new bolt through the hole from inside the chassis boxing - LR provide suitable access holes. .
