When I sat down and worked it all out taking into consideration my time wasted travelling, fuel used etc there was about £700.00 to be saved by going after market with the Pegasus steps which looked to be the best of these type.
The LR OEM steps come with 2 x year warranty and avoid any future argument in regard to after market parts being fitted if anything goes wrong. There is a value to this but not easy to quantify unless you do have a problem.
So I bit the bullet and booked the car in and had the LR steps and a detachable (receiver type) tow bar fitted in one hit. OUCH 
I was intending to leave the steps switched off only to be used when carrying wobblies in the car.
I was advised that if the steps were left unused they are prone to seizing up so have left them switched on.
So far I have hit my shins on them once.
I find they are good when getting out of the car especially when the car is not in access mode.
I tended to step over them when getting into the car at first, but now sometimes use them getting in but I have to duck down.
My other half thinks they are great and they make washing the roof a lot easier.
They can be turned on and off fairly easily using the touch screen.
Will have to wait for comments from the wobblies next time I take them out to see if it was money well spent or not?
