United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black
Just bought my first 55 Reg RRS 2.7 HSE Java Black / Alpaca

Bought an approved 2006 RRS 2.7tdv6 java black/alpaca from a Land Rover dealership and they're delivering it this week...

This site has already proved extremely useful, as I asked them to add a couple of options before delivering it, side steps, supercharger grille & vents and 20" wheels (but they recommended selling the HSE wheels privately and buying a set online instead, to save a lot more), which I did. Picked up some genuine 20" Stormers from ebay (arrive tomorrow hopefully) so shall verify with all the help from previous threads on here, and thankfully ordered the correct centre caps after reading on here that they're different. I therefore have a set of 19" HSE with good tyres for sale (but I'll correctly put that in the wanted/for sale section shortly with pics), but wanted to ask you guys what else would you consider 'a must' to add now before they deliver it?

Given a budget doesn't permit all to be sorted right now, which would you consider the more important, given the main things (grille, vents, wheels and side steps are sorted) before it leaves the dealers ...tinting? extending warranty over and above the 1 year approved dealership one? diesel remap (2.7tdv6)? adding a colour coded Range Rover rear trim part (like the 2010 models)? or upgrading the rear lights to LED?...(but they say the lights won't work) which is a shame as they're offering a discount on parts.

Any opinions would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Rav

Welcome Thumbs Up

A warranty is the sensible choice, as for an upgrade chip why not wait for that 'it doesn't feel as quick as it used to feeling' then if you want to chip it then

The RRS in standard trim has a lot going for it, i like tints so warranty would be my first choice (Kam?) and tints next

Hi ASH555, cheers for the advice, I think you're right, the rear lights and chip aren't really needed that much right now. Since it already comes with 1 year warranty from Land Rover, I was debating whether to extend it from the start or just see how things go for the year, and decide near enough this time next year before it runs out. But I'm totally unsure as to what to expect with regards to reliabilty, and looking on here, it seems to sometimes be pot luck...?

Taking your advice I think tints should be the last thing to do for now then. After reading a few posts on here someone touched upon the sat nav GPS signal being a potential issue, so unsure if this would affect a 55 plate sport?
