    Super-luxury Range Rover SVAutobiography - Official

    I called Land Rover, they said if we order 20 they will give us £100 off each car, I said I would get back to them......

    New air springs = happy bunny

    Wammers you are wrong about them being the same apart from the extra height, the GEN II are Arnotts equivalent to the OEM bags but better quality materials are used, GEN III use a completely redesigned aluminium piston that alters the handling qualities on and off road, they are much more akin...

    New air springs = happy bunny

    I fitted GEN III springs to mine a couple of months ago, I fitted new BOGE dampers at the same time and like you Sutton I find the on road handling so much better, I did as much research as possible before buying the Arnotts as there are a few people saying they are a waste of money, only...

    Got stuck again !!!!!!!

    I had 4 wheel traction control on my 05 defender, the problem I always found was that in order to get it operating you needed the wheels to spin, which on really wet mud was easy, but because it was so easy if the wheels spun too much the TC would overheat and turn itself off without the driver...

    Just kidding about a group meeting, not sure Ian's bees would like a load of RR buzzing around their field, let alone the land owner.

    I quite fancy seeing this field now, I think we should all meet up and have a look at this field and call it a group meeting. As far as checking the Viscous coupling, if it turns it means it isn't seized.

    A common problem with the Range Rover BW transfer case is a "seized viscous coupling". This can easily be identified by the effect it has on cornering, the tyres will "chirp" or "scrub", as the vehicle is effectively permanently in diff lock. As a confirming check, put transfer case in...

    Anyone know the ratio comparisons between high and low on an auto, I only drive manuals, I know that 3rd gear low is equivalent to 1st gear high on a manual R380, but I don't have a clue when it comes to the P38 autos.

    Ian, you don't need to ten the TC off, it will only work if the wheels are spinning, the trick is not to get them spinning in the first place. To check low range, just move the gear lever over to low range 4th and pull away, you should have much slower speeds with the same revs compared to high...

    Anyone fancy a forum meet again? POLL.

    So who is up for Gaydon?

    Got stuck again !!!!!!!

    Ian Who told you not to use low range on one of the hardest surfaces a 4wd can encounter, I would have selected low range 3rd gear, lifted the suspension and then given it some medium welly (enough to keep you moving at all times) but not enough to spin the wheels, I am not a fan of TC as it...

    Got stuck again !!!!!!!

    Ian, were you in low range? If it is wet grass, then the only thing that will get you out is momentum or very aggressive tyre treads (which you don't want day to day), I doubt there is anything wrong with your 4WD system as you would know if the viscous coupling was going wrong. I have to be...

    Anyone fancy a Forum meet again?

    My suggestion is to meet at Gaydon Heritage centre sometime in the morning, visit the centre and then drive the 12 miles or so to Wagtail off road centre which has some easy and tricky parts to it, so anyone like me who doesn't want to scratch the hell out of their paintwork can muck about in...
