Hi, we have recently bought a Range Rover L320 2007. But unfortunately the sills are like Swiss cheese at the rear and we are needing to repair them. I can’t seem to find any sills online. I’m not sure if I have missed something. Any ideas where we can source some new sills to weld in. Many thanks. We are based in The highlands of Scotland

If you bought it from a dealer, take it back as "not fit for purpose"

Did you know about the sills when you bought it fella?
Unfortunately it was bought as a pvt sale. When we bought it, it had a issue with air compressor in suspension, which I have sorted. So I couldn’t get a proper look underneath. I suspected that there would be rust but not this bad. But hopefully I can source some sills or something to repair it properly.

Your welcome good luck with your adventure
hi and welcome to the asylum, lol , does this help u
https://new.lrcat.com/#!/12129/118992/118993/9457
plus I would be tempted to remove the rear plastic inner wheel arch liners to ensure the rust hasn’t gone there as well
Do u happen to have side steps fitted and would u mind taking some piccies plse , thks
there’s also the option of ringing round to some breakers as sometimes they will cut off the panels u need before crushing it
Hope it helps

Thanks so much, this really helps. The vehicle isn’t here with me at the moment. I did remove wheel arch plastics and there is rust there, but not too bad and hopefully an easier fix. But I will send through pics. No side steps fitted, but thinking of fitting some when I get it all sorted.
Alas this company doesn’t sell RRS panels but might be able to guide u of another company

Cheers thanks, I did call them. But they said to try principal dealer/main dealer, but couldn’t get through to the parts department . I will keep on trying tomorrow.
Ur so welcome , personally please be careful fitting side steps as they can become water traps
I’ve got a D3 and there very similar , on mine I fitted some rock sliders which which doesn’t allow water to get trapped
no probs and look forward to some pics when u get chance , plus plse let us know how u get on
ur so welcome , pleasure to help wherever possible
plus as the D3 and the RRS are so similar plse don’t hesitate to shout if u get stuck on anything as there’s plenty of us to help
bought my D3 some 5 x years ago snd turned into a project Landy so indeed understand it can sometimes be like opening a can of worms, lol , is it just the sills that u need to contend with plse
oh and almost forgot , really important things with these is ensuring the battery is in good condition , along with having ur own code reader as will save u a fortune , if not can certainly recommend a few to u , plus a multimeter and a half decent tool kit if u intend to do repairs urself
