Dashboard cover
Hi
May i ask an opinion please , ref a dashboard cover, basically to keep the sun off the dashboard and prevent it from discolouring or do u think it looks naff
Only Fit Left Hand Drive Model according to the addLand Rovers don't leak they just mark there spot
1973 Land Rover Series 3 110 safari Gone but not forgotten
1990 Discovery 200Tdi Gone thank god
1996 Discovery 300Tdi sadly missed (still going strong but not with me)
2003 Discovery TD5 Gone to LR heaven
2004 Discovery TD5 Gone to Aberdeen hope it likes it there
2005 RRS HSE Rimini Red (my Disco 3 in a posh frock)
Think I see a pattern here

I read it as If your car is left hand drive then leave us a message
I think the ad is for a right hand drive, why would they sell LHD in the UK

They seem to be very popular Down Under, where I guess it's on the warm side.
Noticed them used on all sorts of vehicles.
Might be worth asking in the Oz section?

I have one fitted to my RRS for 8 years - fits perfectly, looks fine - the clearcoat in my roof has broken down due to the high UV levels here but the dash is fine.

Hi
Many thks, think I’ll get one, landy sits on the drive quite abit and in full sun, well when there is sun,
On my freelander that I had the dash began to crack so just don’t want the same to happen to the disco
Will give some feedback when it arrives , coming from China will take a while to be delivered
Thks again

It looks naff.
But if you want/need one for a specific task to protect what does it matter if I think it looks naff?

Certainly looks better than a heavily cracked dash board, and a lot cheaper. Unfortunately Brit car makers do not know how to make cars to survive in the sun.
