Glynne, it's not be done for a while but it's been known for RAI and such like to get fitted at the SE Pub meet - might be worth a trip LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Hi Glynne,
I fitted a RAI the other day on my D3....fitment is straightforward but tricky if you don't have the correct riv-nut tool or you haven't done without one before.
I used some spare nuts + bolts and a few spanners to compress them and it worked ok, but is slightly unnerving.
Don't forget that you need a 9.5mm drill bit for the riv-nuts - not a 7mm bit as per the LR instructions. You'll also need a 16mm drill bit for the A-trim pillar or just use the 9.5mm one and waggle it around a lot.
Good luck 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG
