United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black
My first RRS - 2007 TDV8

Click image to enlarge

About time I introduced myself having picked this up two weeks ago and looked for an appropriate forum.

Always wanted one and having recently been through an A5 3.0, Jaguar XKR and BMW 640d I went for it - love the driving position, V8, presence etc. etc.

Unsure exactly what was standard but it has tinted rear windows, 20" Wheels, ACC, TV and Side Steps.

On my list will be LED Lights, DAB, Dashcam and Reverse Camera to start with.

Will post updates and pictures as I go.

Thanks.

Was looking at Stornoway Grey or Black - I have a fully stamped service book but no 'label insert' as with most cars to list the options - where is the paint code as I have noted Java and other 'blacks'.

Went for this as local, known dealer, 92K miles with one owner, 4 new tyres and service and MOT - 3 year warranty as well.

I saw a post mentioning sparky converted lights and rear LEDs for sale from a 2006 Supercharged but could not PM as too few posts.

TV in dash, AC and tints I think are standard on HSE. Side steps could be factory or aftermarket.

Pretty sure there is a list on here somewhere of standard and options on HSE.

Let me know how you get on with dashcam, was thinking of something myself.

Oh and as was suggested to me, register on Topix. That tells you some info including paint colour. Thumbs Up 2015 RRS AB SDV6, Fuji White, Ivory

Your paint colour and shade number are given on the VIN plate above the radiator beside the bonnet latches and also can be in the driver's door jam.
The plate looks like this

Thanks for the location of the paint and Topix - will get on to that.

Looking forward to this as a daily driver and occasional mods vehicle.

Registered on Topix but have not 'paid' a subscription yet as not sure what you get.

For my VIN it does show Outstanding Campaigns:-
Q393 - DETACHABLE TOW BALL AND SUPPLEMENT

Any idea what this is as I do not have a tow ball ?

Where do you navigate to find the spec. of your vehicle or do you have to pay the subscription ?

Yeah. It was a recall for a issue with the towbar but I guess if you don't have one then it wouldn't have needed it? I know my dealer said mine was recalled for this and not outstanding 2015 RRS AB SDV6, Fuji White, Ivory

Your car may well have the factory fitted system which is why it has flagged up but the unscrupulous dealer or previous owner has removed the tow hook from the boot................ To sell on eBay. Just check in the polystyrene infill with the tools that they didn't accidentally leave one of the keys in one of the slots. IIRC the way to tell is if you open the cover in the rear bumper and find there are electric sockets and a receiver for the tow hook in there as well as the recovery eye. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Thanks Tim, very much on a learning curve here with the RRS.

Hadn't appreciated I might even have a tow ball, so will go check this morning inc. wiring etc.

I have the tow hook in the boot but no obvious key - not sure what that would be used for as not tried to mount the tow bar, nor remove the cover in the number as yet.

Also the colour is Java Black although I guess you know that from the picture Smile

One supplier isn't finding the AutoDAB modules too reliable, and proposed a Double DIN all in one unit. However I am looking for a simple hideaway DAB ideally so will continue my search here, but would consider Alpine eziDAB as others have done ... also much cheaper.

Reverse camera was £510 so again too much - must be other options.

TV - no picture but selectable on the dash - is it standard and where is the DvB receiver ?

Hi!

The tuner is in the RH side of the boot.

Take a look at this...
http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic43538.html

The key will be for unlocking / mounting the towbar. If you don't have it then you will need a replacement key.
One of my previous posts mentioned a Ebayer that supplies these for a few quid.

Good luck! 2015 RRS AB SDV6, Fuji White, Ivory
