I have read on this forum and another about mats causing the gas pedal to stick down on pre-06 models. Apparantly there was a technical bulletin issued to LR dealers not to fit pre-06 mats as well. Does anyone know if this was the rubber or premium mats? As such, would it be worthwhile me buying the '06 facelift mats instead?

On a 'I can't make a decision note', what is your preference? Rubber or premium?

i have rubber which is very very easy to clean, but what bothers me is why have mats covering a carpet that will never be seen and enjoyed... ... - .- -.

get both, I cover the carpet mats with the rubber mats in the winter, and in the summer put the carpet mats over the rubber. best of both worlds, it gives a nicer cabin interior / more plush, and it might sound stupid, but also the carpet is quieter than the rubber - carpets absorb noise rubber doesn't.

the genuine premium carpet mats are fantastic quality, they shrug off the dirt and when they do get grubby I have hosed mine clean and scrubbed them with washing up liquid when needed.

Going into winter I'd get a rubber set. They are cheaper and readily available on eBay at low prices. Then next spring if you still want a set of carpet ones get em. FFRR TD6 HSE

Always use a rubber.... .

don't bother with the premium if you know it's going to get dirty with mud etc. They're really thick pile & feel lovely with your shoes off !
But not good if you constantly step in & out with muddy shoes.

I've got both. Just swap as needed. One over the other in MY05 & no trouble with throttle
