    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    Hi Guys, First: JWest - sorry for the very late answer. Been traveling and have not had much time to keep an eye on various threads. As for recovering a vehicle with a non-mechanical EAS issue (e.g. broken height sensor, etc): JWest, you are completely correct. The 'test valves' function will...

    Gap IID tool help

    Yes, contacting support can, at times, be even better than posting in a forum... :rolleyes: JK :p Glad it's working for you. If you press and hold any of the CC buttons used to control the IIDTool you should see the LED on the IIDTool light up and remain lit as long as the button is held. You...

    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    Have to admit - that really made me chuckle. Tho I can see how it might not be that obvious to someone who has not used every function on the IIDTool. The 'Service/Test' menu is really meant to provide for just that: testing all components of the EAS by allowing manual control to see if they...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Thanks for the kind words, Nathan (and all others too!). Believe it or not, we have been working on various angles to this. JLR in the UK does not seem to like us, tho...

    New Off Road Range Rover next year from SVO?

    Exactly. And that is good for the rest of us too. Somewhere inside, I was bummed when Porsche started building SUVs and 4 door sedans. Somewhere it is a sell out of the brand - but if being successful means being able to build more small series such as the GT2RS, then I say sell. And I've said...

    Asecond battery is really easy to fit into an L322. The wiring to the rear of the vehicle and a battery box are all already there. All you need to do is add a split charge system and + / gnd leads and you are done. With a simple installation such as with a voltage sensing battery controller (on...

    Arnott Front Air Suspension Strut

    Arnott's products are generally good - I have a pair of their replacement air bags on the front of my L322. But prices for delphi struts (OEM supplier) have come way down in the past couple of years. I do not know of a US supplier, but you can pick these struts up in the UK, pay for shipping to...

    Expedition Portal Project: 2008 Range Rover Sport

    Shortly after I bought my first P38 (used, ~85k miles) it had an EAS fault and dropped to the bump stops. The local LR dealer gave me a qutoe of over €2500 to repair the prob which turned out to be hardened o-rings that normally seal the air lines to the valve block and, as a result, a...

    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    I am the Capo - I make the vacation schedules. :-p Actually, I meant short relative to the distance: Cappadocia is over 3500km from here. It was 4 days there, 6 days in Cappadocia, 4 days back. Lots of seat time.

    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    Sorry for the late reply. We took a little road trip to Cappadocia, Turkey in our L322. I will post more sometime soon - it was short (2 weeks) but very nice. Hi Avslash, We have not had any reports of trouble with this function - yours is the first. We will do some testing in the coming days...

    LR3 rear bumper+dual swing outs

    IMO you guys are missing a few minor points: the RRC bumpers were slabs of steel and, other than being a C-section vs. flat steel, not much different in mounting, weight, etc than a Model-T's bumper (come to think of it, the RRC design is nearly half as old as the Model-T 8-o ). And the LR3's...

    Lr3 expo roof rack fixings

    Go to LR Topix and look for the installation instructions on the rack, get pics (drawings) of the mounts, take measurements on your LR and go to a few local machinists for quotes. Not sure what the LR 3 rack mounts look like, but for the L322 getting my machinist to make up a set of 6 would cost...

    Lr3 vs. lr4 towing

    Don't want to hijack the thread, but what was the problem? I can't recall any correspondence regarding an IIDTool never working on a particular vehicle.

    Hi Guys, Sorry for the late reply. Been quite busy and traveling too much. Kernol, thanks for the Kudos. Check for updates just before leaving - we will be releasing quite a few items in the coming days. And please do report back after your June trip. And to you and Mack73: we have actually had...

    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    Hi David, Software changes by LR... Normal and to be expected, but they do catch us out at times. The L405 (new RR) had numerous SW changes made from MY 2013 to 2014 - and the L494 (RRS) had the same switch in SW from very early production vehicles to somewhat later production vehicles despite...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    Yeah, they do vary. The 2006> RR generally has less lift adjustment available than an LR 3/4 due to rear height sensor arm geometry, but 20mm is on the low side even here.

    Curious to get your take on the new direction of Disco

    Looking at the pic... Why on earth did LR separate RR as a unique brand? Now all LRs are going to look like RRs? Maybe they going to phase out the LR brand...

    Overland Journal Project Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4)

    qoute from "An Aussie goes to Moab" Rubicon performed spectacularly and while I do own a jeep, I am not really a Jeep person. The Rubicon in completely stock form took on this track with gusto, and with so little effort, I may have been converted. Sadly we couldn't do the full trail as in true...

    Please clear up question about gutter rail strength.

    I am not sure what the exact numbers are on the D2, but generally the maximum safe load on a roof rack is somewhere around 100kg or 220lbs. And you really do not want more up that high because you are drastically reducing your vehicle's stability by raising the CG. You do have to differentiate...
