My rear step fell off today
 not that bothered as i have never ever used it, but bit worried about the two big holes left as both the rivnuts came out with the step and bolts, any ideas how to put it back as i said the rivnuts have pulled right out, dont know how this has happened as i said i have never folded it down If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

Yep, I had one pull out on a previous vehicle. You'll need to remove the old rivnuts from step (you'll have to grip the inserts while undoing the bolts). Fit new rivnut inserts into the X member and secure step by bolts into new inserts. Steve.

I was told by independent garage that these steps are like autumn leaves - they all fall off when time comes

It's mainly due to the fact that in comparison to earlier models post 300Tdi rear X members are so thin they might as well be made of cheese. Steve.

Cheers Grockle its got to go back for the 3rd attempt at the PO22 recall soon so i will throw it at them to look at, new rivnuts is not going to work, needs a plate on the inside the holes are  If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

Grockle, did yours go back for this? My rear step wobbles. It supports my weight but at 110kg who knows for how long! Out of warranty, and with Lookers on board, the prospect of phoning them fills me with antipathy let alone taking it in for something essentially cosmetic. Any idea what the LR fix is? Some papier-maché? |

I did this to mine, had to cut and bend a spanner to fit into the cross member to hold the bolt to tighten  |

I think mine is on its way out, I can't be bothered with a warranty claim for that and would rather replace it before someone gets hurt, I am considering something like that:
