    Range Rover Sport - Where is nav disk?

    Hi. Does anybody know where the nav disk goes in a RRS? I've looked under the seats, but it seems to be full with the Harman Kardon Amplifier.. Cheers,

    Range Rover Sport - Tyre Sizes?

    Hi. How do I find out what tyre size my RRS should use? I'm a little confused as to if the previous owner has the correct size. Some tyre places seem to believe the car takes 255/50/19's and some say it takes 255/55/19's. Anybody got any ideas? Cheers,

    Now a Range Rover Sport owner..

    Hi All. Figured I would re-introduce myself as I have been quiet for a very long time and now return with a new motor! I used to have a Freelander TD4 Sport, which I sold. We then got a Freelander TD4 HSE which my girlfriend uses, and I have recently invested in a Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8...

    Range Rover Sport?

    Why is there no Range Rover Sport forum? The 'proper' Range Rover guys take the stick out of the sport :P

    Hey All - Funny noise on RR Sport 4.4 V8...

    Hi. I've just bought a Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE. It has 80k on the clock with a full land-rover service history and is on a '06 plate. Under medium throttle between 2-3k/rpm there is a slight whirring sound I can hear. Having never owned one of these, I have no idea if this is normal...

    Best place to buy EGR Blanking?

    Hey. Just had our Freelander TD4 HSE remapped, and the tuner pulled the vacuum pipe off the EGR valve. Fully understand why he has done this, but having done some reading on here - it'd seems better to remove it totally to further increase the air-flow. Problem is, loads of these threads and...

    Remove becker and fit aftermarket head unit?

    Hi All. I have a '54 Freelander TD4 HSE with the Harman Kardon system and Becker navigation head unit. Want to change for a modern double din navigation head unit. Anybody know what is involved? What connections are present in the dash that connect into the existing Becker? Can we retain...

    Replace FL1 Sat-Nav with... summit else!

    Hi All. Our HSE has the useless monochrome display sat-nav hooked up to the Harman Karden amp-speakers. Does anybody know how the amp etc feeds? If I put a 'normal' head unit in.. will they still work and/or are there any wiring adapters available? Cheers,

    Awfull vibration..

    Hi All. Got an awful 'through the car' pulsing/vibration in our TD4 Auto. Isn't really noticeable below 60 at any load but above 60 its hugely noticeable and gets worse the faster you go until *really high speed* when it starts to fade again, although it doesn't vanish totally. If when its...

    Tyre recommendations...

    Hi All. Looking for recommendations to the best on/off road compromise tyres that will go on the 225/55/17 alloy wheels. Everything seems to be a 95% road bias tyre for this rim size. Something a little more aggressive wouldn't go amiss! Cheers,

    Brakes scraping...

    Hi All. I'm really confused. I had nasty wirring and scraping noise on our FreeLander when braking from any sort of speed. Decided to replace the discs and pads with uprated EBC discs and EBC heavy duty SUV/4x4 pads. Now the scraping noise is worse. Granted - the brakes are now fantastic...

    Freelander suspension lift?

    Hi All. I bought my FreeLander 3dr Sport Premium because it was going for a song and was fully loaded with every possible extra, leather seats, sound system, parking sensors, heated front screen - the lot. Naturally the downfall of this machine is its low ground clearance, even compared...

    TD4 Auto in-gear acceleration causes judder...?

    Hi All. We have a 2004 TD4 Auto (Sport) and in-gear acceleration under load causes judder through the whole car. For example... if the car is in 5th at 50mph (1700rpm ish) and you're going up any sort of hill/incline and try to accelerate enough that the engine can pull but not enough...

    Freelander Rolling Radius...

    Right... I like the 18" alloys on the FL sport, but the tyres they come with are 235/50/18 which really does hinder choice of tyre. The tyres I want come in 235/60/18 (closest match) and I calculate that means the speedo will be out by 4.75mph at 70 - that said, it could be adjusted anyway...

    TD4 MAF Sensor

    Hi All. I've a friend with a very sluggish TD4 and I suggested pulling the MAF. I've just been outside and popped my bonet in the hope of sending a photo and low and behold, i've not got a clue. On my Passat and my girlfriends car its very obviously on the pipe after the airbox... also is on...

    Aftermarket fitment of cruise control?

    Hi All. Does anybody know if its possible to fit, or have fitted, cruise control to a 2004 FreeLander TD4 Sport Premium? The car has every single electrical toy on it, bar cruise control. There is even a blank plastic button next to the parking sensors master switch, which I am told is where...

    Smaller Wheels on FreeLander Sport...

    Hi All. I have a 2004 FreeLander Sport Premium which naturally came with the 18" alloys... 235/50/18. The net result is its impossible to get any form of aggressive off-road tyre so I could take part in an off-road day. Would say 16" wheels if I bought some second-hand off eBay from another...

    Freelander Sport Tyres..

    Hi. We have a '04 FreeLander Sport TD4 Auto and im looking around for some tyres that will do better on muddy ground. The problem is with a 235/50/18 profile there isn't many about. I've found something called the Conti 4x4 Winter Contact which seems to have a better tread than the standard...

    Hi All. Got a problem that suddenly appeared while going down a country lane on my way home. Most awfully buzzy grinding noise from what sounds like front right side of the engine bay, near the drivers side front wheel. Particuarly bad under slow menouvour / hard steering lock but...
