The vehicle appears to ride better it feels more planted with the wider stance and it looks better.

What was this amazing difference, what was improved if you don’t mind me asking?

Nothing really amazing Allycat... however it does stand out and the ride definitely improves and as I said it feels more planted in corners being 60mm wider (less body roll???). I can't comment about any off road capabilities as yet they've only been on a week but I'm guessing the wider track might be useful in the soft mud when I drive thru the gates where the cattle trample it knee deep. I'll report back after this forthcoming rain!!!
Apart from that I do get some inquiring looks from other Lander drivers who give that " What have you done to that" look!

Thanks for a prompt reply, I feel a project manifesting, and not a lot of expense either.

There are some that consider more than a tenner is pure extravagance

The sunroof was already sealed up when I bought it, had a few good downpours and no problem till going out this tea time.

Doesn't sound too serious I'm sure it's a pretty easy fix. Some one once said "With Land Rovers if it doesn't move & it should WD40 it. If it does move & it shouldn't Gaffa Tape it!

Never used it! but I suspect now I've said that I'm needing a trip to Wilko!!!
Don't forget to tell your insurance company, and expect the premium to rise. In my experience ,insurance company's don't like wheel spacers, rightly too. It's too easy for them to fail, with catastrophic results. Been there, done that. I definitely wouldn't put spacers on a vehicle, unless I was the only passenger, and it wasn't being used on a public road.

No name spacer will fail and not depend how you drive ,but quality spacer will not fail even in hard corner. H&R or Eibach to be safe.
