Hi , I will be ordering our new rrs 2015 next week . Diesel 3.0 dynamic 7 seats causeway grey black leather panoramic roof soft close doors 3 zone air con heated and cooled vented seats heated wheel sill protectors black headlining headlight auto dip wifi mud flaps delux mats boot mat tow bar , I'm getting 22 alloys after due to the dealer won't fit them for collection .
Any else you think I should get . Total cost £75,000 . Hoping to get 5 year service pack and life shine for free .

Sounds good. Surround cameras can be very useful. As is remote park heat. Expensive though. Extra large washer bottle is a must - many dealers add this automatically.

You will have a bit of time to amend the order once placed though, providing your dealer keeps on top of the dates. 

Thanks I will look into the cameras and bottle , we had the park heat remote thing on my l322 , just sold last week and never really used it in 8 years .
Will I have to do any thing with tpm if I change the wheels ?

I might be worth upgrading to the Meridian Surround Sound (825W) if you listen to anything else then talk radio, but perhaps that is already included in the standards specs for your trim level? 2015 Range Rover Sport HSE TDV6, Corris Grey

I wouldn't advise fitting 22s until you've read the threads on this and you're sure you want to do it

I didn't think 22" wheels were stable for the 7 seat version? Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...

Gone but not forgotten:
2014 RRS2 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE in Santorini Black

I have had a few rr with 22's . Love the way they look a sit .
The dealer won't fit them due to the loading on a 7 seater but they have told me there will be no issue from there point of view on the warranty.
I have a good choice of dealers . Taunton , roger young and county .

If you blow a tyre and try to claim you would lose. Just like any mods to the car, like an engine remap.

I am not sure you would lose a warranty claim if the issue was unrelated to the change. Remap ECU and suffer engine problems = no valid claim. Replace tyres and suffer engine problems = ? 

That is not what meant mate.

I understand if the sunroof for example stops working and you fitted a remap,all should ok with the sunroof.

But there was lots of negativity on here about Remaps. Dave even came on.
So if remapped and it blows the crank, you will be in trouble.

We now have dealer apparently saying it is ok to use the wrong tyre rating.

If that tyre blows up because you run over the capacity of the tyre you will loose a claim if you need one.

Besides it is a 110 tyre for a reason.

Does that explain better.

I know, but thanks.

A serious question which I hope is not taken the wrong way: I understand that the load rating for tyres on +2 seat cars is 110 (or 112) and that 22s only go up to 108 currently. What tyres does the TDV8 have when on 22s? GVW of the TDV8 is 50 kg more than that of the 5+2 SDV6. 

It is the rear axle load that is the problem not the overall GVW.

This is from topix, sure you will have seen it.

And this again.

Most of the extra weight of the TDV8 motor is over the front wheels.

Just added a few more toys . Rear DVDs , cameras , upgraded the sound system . That's it now . £61,000 soon turned into £80,000 .

40/60 folding Seats £100
