I'm a new boy on the forum and expect to be using it many times as I help my son (his car) and the body shop rebuild it after a bad front shunt. Not an insurance job.

The first problem is the ACC. Its shot, have found a second hand replacement but we have wires hanging out with no plug.

Questions:

Can I get hold of a full wiring diagram to help with the rebuild in general and the ACC plug problem.

Any CD/DVD disk based catalogued systems showing all car parts wiring etc? I had a very good BMW disk that was hacked from the dealer system and generally sold on the net. Helped tremendously when working on my old 740.

Anybody know if the car will run without the ACC, I was told it required it but find it hard to believe as what happens if it goes wrong?

Looking forward to helping the boy sort this car out and driving it one day.

vehicle type etc may be usefull

Sorry - it's a Sport 2008 - 08

TDV8 supercharged 2.7V6 ? HSE SE S ?

The phrase springs to mind Its like pulling teeth

God help his son and the body shop.

Range Rover Sport. 2008. HSE V8

OMG ! TDV8 or V8 supercharged?

It's the HSE V8, things have moved on today, found the cd manual. I was after covering this spec and many otters. Found a 2nd hand ACC, struggling to find a plug to remake the loom, think I'll start looking for Jag plug and stub cable tomorrow.

Hopefully with more error codes cleared we can get the suspension working and see what else we are missing.

How many more times, siberian silver was not out in 2008..... not that im touchy about it lol 

Not sure what colour it was as we now have 1 balck door, 1 blue door and a blue bonnet. Rest of bpdy covered in "working in progress" before primer. Looks like a siver ish...

Anybody run their Sport without the ACC connected?

One careful owner then

It was a very sad case, rear side and front crash. The jig work went very well and sourcing 2nd body panels keeps it cheap. You do need the patience for parts and a good body shop.

My front sensor doesn't work because it got drowned .... my car work's fine just the cruise control doesn't work at all. I bought replacement sensor for £200 off eBay (LR wanted £1,600 ex vat, I hope including fitting!) and plan to fit it once I'm back from Dubai. The annoying thing is you have to remove the front bumper to get to the sensor...they could have designed that a bit better considering its only behind that black box bit! LR Defender 90 - gone
RRS Supercharged HST - gone
Audi S3 Sportback Black Editiion - gone
RRS SDV6 - current
