oddities!

Having just joined the ranks of rrs owners can you tell me of any other oddities that are peculiar to this car - the absence of rear courtesy lights are.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

No useful cubbies in the boot/trunk to put things like firstaid boxes and so-on.
Under the boot carpet there is a recess with numerous moulded sections filled with trye removal kit but none of the unused ones are any good for stowing small items that now have to live in a box in the main boot area. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Biggles I put my sunglasses on the tray inside the centre console - if you want to look really cool stick them in the fridge

The free shower can also be supplemented by the snow deluge onto the driver's seat if you don't clear the roof just above the door appature if the car sits outside and it snows overnight, it is by far the worst car I have had for this and the other morning after 3cm of snow fell I opened the door without doing it and a great slab of sluch/snow landed on the driver's seat............ neighbours laughed when they saw me out with a towel drying off the leather and made comments about Land Rovers never changing and still being leaky! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I too have the hooks in the back , they are located within the grab handle recess.

Shmoogle have you checked the badge on your car? is it a RRS

Well it was last time I looked

In fact, just went out for a wee lookie - upon further inspection it seems that my jacket hooks are in the front grab handles, not the the rear. Have they been fitted the wrong way round I wonder? Or do you have hooks in the front anyhow (not sure why you would want them in the front as a jacket would block your view out of the passenger window entirely)?

No hooks in the front for me , so it would appear LR have mucked up again. Sounds like you have the rear grab handles fitted in the front and vice/versa?
