Yes, I have my 2005 RR booked in 7 November to have the rear wiper mechanism replaced (after a year without it working) because of ‘leaking’ (LR service centre I use has ordered the rebuild kit parts I believe and not a whole new mechanism) – I also took the thing apart myself and could not...

Phil, Well, you’ll be ready for the on-set of winter then when you pick-up your Rangie next Saturday – I trust the dealer will make great efforts with the rectification work/service and hope all goes well for you and your TD6 in the future. Steve

Winny, I've not had this exact same thing happen to my L322, but would suggest checking the amp connections in the boot equipment rack (behind the left cover in the boot area). This area can get damp and could cause (intermittent) connection corrosion/faults on various bits of kit with...

Hi, I had a Xenon headlamp bulb fail on my 2005 L322 two weeks ago - The bulbs were swapped over between the headlamps first to check it was not a connector, or controller issue - Yes, I ended up driving an 80 mile round trip to buy a new bulb from Marshalls for 160 GBP, as the bulb failed the...

Phil, Umh - Not that I intend to/can afford it, but mine would not be offered for resale with even a Select LR Warranty then if I p/x'd it at a LR Dealer- Too many mile (it's now on 102,000 miles). Our Rangie is part of the family anyway (plus the investment made in keeping it in condition...

Phil, I forgot to add - If you can, also check that the front windscreen heating elements (both sides) still work, as I was told when my windscreen was replaced, that it was difficult (for some fitters) to 'reliably' connect it back up again. Steve

Phil, More, useful history emerging thanks to your own research then (rather than the dealer’s presentation) – The previous ‘boot leak’ might need some further visual inspection. Try to find out where the leak actually occurred (spare wheel well, or somewhere else?). If...

Hi Phil, I own a similar model year TD6 to the one you’re looking at and agree with Steve’s comment above; that one key issue is whether the vehicle has had the front differential recall completed - If the LR service history is a little lacking (hence the filter issues?), then perhaps it has...

All went with the Audio Connectivity Module kit fitment and the results are great – The MY2005 RR CD Changer has optical connections, so simple ‘splicing’ was not really an option in this case. I have been following VPLME0004/LR004806 “Audio Connectivity Module...

Thanks - I am sending the CD Changer to Clarion's UK repair centre, as my unit does not respond anymore (not even ejecting the CD cartridge, let alone play a CD). I have been reading that the 'discontinued' LR/Dension RR i-Pod kit (LR Part No. LR004806) can work in a MY2005 RR even though the...

Thanks Buddy - I am going to go ahead and start taking the CD Changer out and see what's back there to connect into. If I get a bit lost, I will come back to you for more advice!

I have looked at various threads and not found the definitive answer to this conundrum: The Clarion CD changer in our MY2005 (Touch Screen, Harmon Kardon) Rangie has gone 'kaputt' – I realise I can possibly send the CD Changer to Clarion to be repaired, but I would prefer to install a direct...

Sean, I also had the same thing last winter on a 2005 RR - The air compressor needed to be replaced - 700 Euro for a fitted, new compressor at the local LR dealer here in The Netherlands, so should be cheaper in the UK.

Bluetooth active now so the system back in full working order.

Finally had the problem diagnosed and solved by Hartwell, Northampton – A telephone module needed to be replaced – Initial estimate for a new order module was some 400 GBP plus, but the dealer managed to find one from stock and fitted for 300 GBP – Hi-Fi, Sat Nav all working...

Mark, No joy - I have inspected every connection going behind the left cover in the boot area. No signs of damp/corrosion anywhere. So I don't think the potential leak that can occur in the rear pillar area is happening in this case. I tried ignition on with the sat nav unit removed - No...

Well, my Range Rover was serviced Monday, but no progress with the Sat Nav/Audio loss apart from it’s probably been caused by corrosion of the Sat Nav unit connectors and internals due to water ingress through the rear window pillar (it doesn’t look that obvious to me). This is a...

Willsta, Thanks for the feedback buddy - I'll have a go at locating any corroded connections over the weekend, before the Dealer takes a look on Monday and racks up the bills! I'll post an update...... Cheers Steve

Hi – I have just joined the LandyZone looking for advice. I’m pleased to find such an active web-site and forum! I have a 2005 Range Rover which has developed a curious problem with the whole Sat Nav/Audio system. The screen now only displays the Land Rover emblem; the audio on/off button...
