Or you could use this an opportunity to pratice for reality... Better to practice on your terms rather than on the hard shoulder of a motorway in treacherous conditions or on some isolated place in the back of beyond.

You want a flat solid surface, all the brakes on, put chalks or blocks round the wheels not being removed, crack (untighten) the nuts with the wheel brace, then, making sure you've removed your spare from the boot first, jack the car up as per the owners handbook and remove the wheel, replacing it in reverse of removal... And if for some reason it becomes an insurmountable challenge, you can ring LR assist and they will come to your aid.

Have a go, you'll be fine

Except I wouldn't want to use the standard jack except in a dire emergency.

Not done a 405 (yet!) - but on every other RR or LR D3/D4 we have had I could change all 4 wheels (winter for summers and vice-versa) in 25 minutes or less. That's using a trolley jack I bought at Costco's and a couple of axle stands for insurance.....I also ditch the locking wheel nuts for regular nuts as they are a pain in the arse and a common failure point. (and if someone really wanted the wheels they would get them off despite the locking nuts anyway!)

<----------------- has been to the wheel doctor - he said he will repair them (2 dented wheels) by tommorow in 20 mins - this place works usually only for the local AMG dealer in Stuttgart

It's almost worth flying him to England

Didn't realise diamond cut wheels could be smart repaired, & only £35 for 2 wheels!  2014 SDV8 Autobiography

yeah i got surprised too - took him only 20 mins - he said they are better to be repaired than the polished AMG wheels..  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

And the key question Angel Frank is, were you happy with those very reasonably priced repairs (sounds like you were) in which case, excellent ?

yes - sure i was - i got surprised myself by the price i was thinking more like 100 pounds per wheel  All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

I'm intrigued by the process - every company I've asked seems to want to remove the tyre, blast/strip, machine, re-paint & lacquer

He seems to know what he is doing - since he works usually to 95% for the local AMG/Mercedes Benz used cars center where they prepare cars to be refreshed.

Hmm, interesting. I have also been told by tradesmen that it can't be done. To the extent that they have turned down the business. I'd much rather it was done at my house so I don't have the inconvenience of sending the wheel away.

Any chance you could post a before and after picture of the repaired wheel? 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

Not sure he will come to London Ed.
