Do I really need it? It's just that when it was put together someone who designed it thought it was needed. It's another line of defence, particularly at a time when there are degunging & derusting issues going on.
For the sake of £3 I might as well fit it. That's what the dealer said they cost, but he's sold out of them! The Wolf was making a funny noise, well not funny - worrying. Found it was a fractured bracket that supports the guard on the front brake disc surface. So rather than rub it down, mig it & paint it, I bought one for £3. So it wasn't a wasted journey.
Never like RRs to my mind they don't look like Land Rovers, I like vehicles to look as if they have been made out of a large Meccano set.
