It sort of worked. Unfortunately not well enough to be permanent.
I ended up buying a new panel from someone on eBay. It was about £100 - but now having a full set of working buttons, I think it ... |

This seems to be a common problem with early RRS & D3 where the keys making up the keypad on the radio console break. LR do not supply individual keys - and pretty much the only option is to repl ... |

Based on the responses here and on a few other high end car forums, I don't think this is going to be a goer! They were a mixture of people not thinking it's a problem or not caring even if it is - w ... |

Not software configuration on that year, can only have been a modification by someone.

In my simplistic world that means that it is permanently live. Is that correct?
Yup! - so long as the ignition is actually off. Some stuff stays powered for some time after. However, on mine th ... |

It's a little further away but I'd recommend Challenger4x4 in Tongham on the M3. Paul Bass, the owner loves D3, 4 & RRS and has not failed to fix anything yet - even the things that Harwoods Land ... |

You need a charger with some battery management 'intellegence'. Even a blocking Diode is better than nothing. Without it, the panel will draw current when the sun is not shining.

This doesn't entirely answer your question, but I've used a company called Polyfacto in Hailsham for re-covering / re-upholstering. They were very high quality - and surprisingly good value (I though ... |

You're right - but you can usually force the ignition barrel and then the only thing stopping it is the immobiliser built in to the key. Program the car to accept your key and youre away.

Aware that it's pretty easy to steal a RRS by sniffing the key to open the truck then plugging in to the OBD port and using it to program a new key, I've designed a lock for the port!

I have one of the removable tow bars - but read on one of the forums that this is considered 'light duty'. What is not so clear to me is what is considered light or heavy duty towing? But it has wor ... |
