EASControl update? There were no updates for the EASControl...
For the IIDTool there were - and if you had an early unit it was w/o a USB jack. Please send your info to GAPTeam@ ourwebsite.com and we'll check on what you have. If it is an early IIDTool we will still honor the update offer, of course.
If you have an EASControl we can upgrade you to the IIDTool for the cost difference and postage.

How did the car perform on such trips.

Excuse my city slicker ignorance, but with roof tents, do you climb up and sleep in it on the roof or take it off and put it on the ground?

If the former, I presume you have to fit a ladder as well?

Both actually - although ive never seen anyone take it off (its a right ar e to do)

You stash in your ali ladder clips on the side and your done...some use the later to support it on the larger fold out ones Mike

An unmodified Expedition rack won't be wide or long enough - the upper surround curves inward too far. I'm considering cutting mine off to fit the roof tent.

Nice pics, Mike! Looks like a great trip. Too bad about the EAS on the D2 - did he get it fixed? EAS is great, but it is a maintenance item. And it needs to be checked before embarking on a long journey.

Wrong car for the forum but the same probs (and roof tents ).

I used 6 feet from 2 sets of sport bars for the P38 (as there are 6 possible attachment points) and welded a rack. Note that the middle crossbar sits higher than the front or rear crossbar due to the curvature of the roof (as I mentioned in my post a page back).

The chap replaced the air bags on the D2 with coil springs at a local Moroccan garage in Zagora and we were soon back on the road.

I am selling the G4 currently as a job change now means I live 80 miles away from work, but when I do I am tempted to get a P38 DSE (or possibly a V8 on LPG, but concerned about reliability in remote locations) and build a 'Trek' replica:



If I do, this will be built purely as an expedition vehicle, keeping the roof tent for it and using it for trip abroad, going snowboarding, etc Any pics of your P38? - Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE G4 Challenge vehicle (FOR SALE)

Why sell the G4 if you have long distances to drive? Sounds perfect for the job!

For a vehicle that you are taking to Africa, for instance, I would go with a DSE over a LPG V8. And with an auto trans - and remapped. W/o a remap a DSE is not much fun to drive. And the P38 is a beast of a different caliber when it comes to the electrics/electronics. Before you venture anywhere further than within a few miles from a LR dealer, make sure you have the immobilizer disabled and have familiarized yourself with basic electronic functions. I do love my P38, but I'd prob recommend a L322 for someone without a keen affinity to electrics/electronics - especially if you are planning on going somewhere where you have to be self-sufficient.

My P38 is relatively stock. I have a mild suspension lift (longer air bags, longer dampers, recalibration) and I run slightly larger tires (265/70 16).

Not many pics of my cars on my work computer.Here are two of the P38 in the Vosges mountains not too far from here.

Fuel prices!! At £1.40+/litre it is too expensive to run over the distances I now cover on a regular basis.

If I don't get the price I want for it then I will likely keep it and run a second cheap car (diesel Focus or similar) for the trip up and down the country, but it would mean the G4 would not get much use, which I think is a shame! - Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE G4 Challenge vehicle (FOR SALE)

Mike. With your permission I'd like to pinch those pictures for an article I'm doing with our local Land Rover club on mounting RTT's to RRSC and LR3&4's.

Don't worry...we're all in Dubai but I'll block it out anyway. It's for a feature on mounting different types of tents to Land Rovers.

The size shown here is fine & no need for hi-res.
