Hi all,

Our 2005 (55 plate) RRS supercharged finally got handed over today. To give you some context, I purchased this from Wales and imported it to New Zealand - and it finally got complied and on the road today.

So, a couple of things I was hoping you could help me with...

1. Sunroof - this does not close properly. Let me explain... it closes, but the front of the glass does not go all the way up to make it flush with the roof, and at speed it whistles quite badly. I've tried the reset procedure of holding the close button down for 20+ seconds until it finishes a full cycle - but it doesn't seem to matter. Is there some adjustment I can do to get this to sit flush?

2. Parking sensors - these sometimes don't turn off - so driving off it stops beeping, but then when I pull up to an intersection, I just get a solid tone "beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep" until I take off again. I can stop it by pressing the button so the light goes out, but is this a configurable setting somewhere? I see that others have encountered this too - wondering if it may just be dirt covering the sensors?

Essentially, in our Audi the system disarms above 10 or so Km/h so not a problem. In the RRS, it seems to stay on until I press the button. Painful

3. PTI - is there a way to tell what model phone the Telephone Integration adapter is made for?? Also, if the car has PTI (which it does) should it also have Bluetooth?

4. rear number plate - in NZ our plates are nowhere near as wide as UK ones. So went to change it over tonight and of course, the holes don't line up. No big deal. However, it looks like the rear plate has been PK screwed to the tailgate via some nice, non-factory holes drilled in it. Is this standard practice over there?? It all looks pretty damn rough tbh....

I think that's all for now. I'm sure more stuff will drive me mad over the weekend as I get to know it.

I have our valet/paint specialist coming in on Monday to give her a damn good clean and detail as it's in a bit of a
state after coming across in a container and being crawled in and out of by a bunch of sweaty mechanics. Once it looks a bit nicer I'll take some decent pics and post them up with spec and a bit of a story  Every home should have one!

well, silence is defening....

So only really care about teh Sunroof issue now. Basically when trying to close it, it pops the front up, then down, then up and can't make up it's mind - so it's not "parking" properly or something. Am considering loosening the Torx screws and adjusting it to sit flush, but as I say it doesn't seem to have a fixed "park" spot....

Anyone?? Every home should have one!

Which reset method did you use? Switch the ignition on, press the close button for 45 seconds then release. That should reset the sunroof. If that doesn't cure your problem, then it could be a faulty micro switch. Google faulty range rover sport sunroof. You might find other answers there. Perhaps you motor didn't like being taken out of Wales.

tried that and a few other things. Will look into the microswitch. Every home should have one!

So after much wringing of hands and procrastination, I finally decided to try adjusting the glass panel in the sunroof to see if that fixed it. As per the instructions included in the leaky sunroof technical bulletin LTB00034 - I removed the flexi covers on the inside of the roof and loosened the 4 T25 Torx screws, adjusted the glass so it lined up and fit properly, tightened the Torx screws back up, replaced the flexible covers and - beautiful! it opens, closes, seals lovely.

So that took 10 minutes and saved a trip to a dealer! Every home should have one!
