I've a 06 reg RRS HSE and I've just (nearly) signed on the line for a MY11 HSE replacement. BUT despite being assured that there's no difference in size after the 2009 facelift, I've just seen on the LR website that dimensions for the car are now 2004mm where I've seen reference to the old model as 1928. I make that a three inch difference which, given that I've about 1/2 inch clearance (literally) on the hill up to our house between the big old stone walls, would be a bit of a killer fact. Can anyone reassure me or confirm my fears?

Im sure they are the same width, certainly not 3 inches difference...........if they are may I suggest one of these to "adjust the wall"

Thanks for the tip (and the photo!). I suspect the difference is that the bigger measurement is from mirror to mirror (folded) and the smaller one is 'excluding' mirrors ie from the widest points on the bodywork. So if there is an increase post facelift it'll only be a couple of centimetres - mind you that would still get me touching the wall!

I wonder if the air bags are colour coordinated.  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

GOD YOU BOYS ARE ON BLOODY HEAT AT THE MOMENT ......

Who cares if she don't know what an RSJ is. Yum yum

I bet she has an RSJ supporting those breasticles!!! MY10 TDV6 SE (debadged ), Santorini Black, Flappy paddles, Privacy Glass, 20" Stormers, Mudflaps!

Gone: a comprehensive list of imprezas and a Merc ML AMG

Are you measuring the 1/2 inch clearance with the mirrors out or folded?

If with mirrors folded the MY11 is 3 inches wider as mentioned, but with mirrors out the MY11 is 1/2 inch narrower.

2007 RRS width = 1928 mm mirrors folded and 2170 mm mirrors out.
2010 MY11 width = 2004 mm mirrors folded and 2158 mm mirrors out.

According to Landrovers web site, although getting numbers right is not a something they are famous for.

Having read what I've just written it does not make much sense, unless the MY11 mirror bodies are much thicker and so explaining the 3 inches difference in width.

Is that how you grow 'em in England????

....I'll be right over.  I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy!

2006-2007 figures were inaccurate, so perhaps difference explained by both folding mirrors and perhaps the correct measurements now being used.

At one point a Freelander 2 was wider than the RRS
