If you are looking for a Long Ranger tank: http://www.landroverworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26154

I have experienced no issues with the range of the detector personally, but the occasional failure of the built-in GPS receiver (reception seems to be sporadic and dependent on time of day and location, which drives me crazy) to lock on the birds does cause false radar alarms, like with my old...

There was an unused grommet on my NAS 2013, on the firewall behind the aux. battery compartment found on the driver's side of the engine bay. I popped that plug off to run an electrical cable from the Traxide dual battery management kit and auxiliary battery I installed in that compartment, all...

IIRC, both TPMS and park sensors can be turned off in the CCF / Car Config menu. TPMS should be found within the Body Control Module (BCM) sub-menu, you will have the option of turning off only spare tire monitoring or the whole system entirely (before you turn it off, make sure you note what...

When you connect the IIDTool to your computer via USB and start the latest version of the IIDTool Updater 2 software (which you first download from the link under My Gap), after the software finds the device you should be presented with a short list of firmware files that may flashed into the...

That's my understanding as well. After reflashing the satnav in the car with the special firmware released for that purpose alone, you should revert back to the latest regular IIDTool firmware release (using the updater software), to get your tool back. Have you read the latest release of the...

Here is a report, with lots of beautiful photos: https://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/surviving-the-660-mile-great-divide-expedition-in-a-convoy-of-bone-stock-range-rovers-172101295.html

The dryer as a whole (the unit containing the desiccant that breaks down over time and often causes Hitachi compressors to fail) is reportedy no longer available from Land Rover as a spare part, which may limit your options a bit if you wanted to thoroughly service and rebuild your aging...

A 2008 with original battery? I am amazed it lasted that long, if it is. Definitely sounds like a spent battery (but get the alternator checked as well.)

Same reason they used the Range Rover name for the RR Sport and the RR Evoque, to identify a family of vehicles. The Discovery family will include the "little" Sport here, and a couple of new, larger models that will eventually replace the current Disco/LR4. Think of the Discovery Sport as the...

In case it wasn't abundantly clear, the Discovery Sport IS the LR2 replacement. It is a compact crossover, nothing more, nothing less. It has pretty much the same off-roading capabilities the LR2 has - basic capabilities at best, although still better than its direct competitors from BMW, Audi...

Well, one thing Land Rover seems to have improved is the infotainment system, as I am sure it will make its way in the rest of the lineup. Besides the dubious value of those InControl apps, the satnav finally allows you to enter an address by voice in one shot, instead of tiny bits and pieces...

Compared to the LR2, which it replaces? No. http://www.landroverusa.com/vehicles/discovery-sport-compact-crossover/index.html

Makes sense. They never seem to have warehouses full of 2-speed transfer cases and locking rear differentials, huh? :)

I still don't get why Land Rover felt compelled to include side steps as standard issue on all new LR4s. I am sure they are useful to some, but as an accessory, not as stock equipment on all trims. To anyone taking his/her LR4 off road, they are more of a liability than a convenience. Are LR4...

Rant mode: On. I think part of it is that we've all grown disenchanted and cynical since the expeditions of 20-30 years ago, I blame technology for that. Back then, seeing a convoy of Land Rover braving the jungles of Papua New Guinea in grainy photographs and on TV commercials was exciting...

It's actually the other way around, the AMK being the newer unit installed on MY2012+ and the Hitachi the old one. And while it is true the AMK will run without an ECU reflash, the software strategy of the two units is different so the AMK will not run correctly. For example, the Hitachi unit...

It's definitely due to the age of the car, my former 2006 Sport didn't show much either, but the 2013 LR4 shows the full enchilada. I am guessing the started implementing the full build sheet on Topix with MY2010s and later.

Regarding the rear e-diff on a MY2010 RRS (don't think it was standard issue back then, definitely not on HSE and I am not so sure about a S/C either), you can actually get a complete build specification in Topix without calling a dealer, just register (free of charge) and enter your complete...

The 25th Anniversary Great Divide Expedition will cover nearly 1000 miles, the original one was 1100 and change, so a big portion - most of it - will apparently be covered. The new one will be an expensive and posh vacation for some (although a memorable one for sure), the original one was a...
