Look after the radiators and steering beneath your Discovery 2 with Almont's 8 mm HeavyDuty duralumin guard. Made for the L318 1998-2004 application, it adds a substantial barrier for the rough tracks and lanes your Land Rover was made to explore.
SKU: PDLRD2A8
The guard weighs 10.5 kg and uses certified AW5083 H111 duralumin. It gives exposed front components high-strength alloy protection, with lower material weight than same-size steel and no red rust starting in the alloy where it is scratched.
The material is a large part of what makes Almont protection worth considering. Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin combines high strength with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, helping it stay a worthwhile long-term addition to your vehicle. Mud and road salt should still be washed off, including from the separate steel brackets and fixings.
Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.

Designed for the original chassis, axle, suspension-stay, transmission and stabiliser mounting arrangements. Raised suspension is compatible when those original supports are retained. Body lifts, differential-drop kits and altered mounting supports are incompatible.
For a Discovery 1 1989-1998 or Range Rover Classic 1980-1995, use the separate Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic front guard instead.
Pressure wash the protection at least once a year, or two or three times a year if you regularly drive in mud or road salt. Check bolt tightness annually and follow the fitting instructions when refitting a plate after maintenance.

The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
Almont provides three years of cover against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
