You can buy any other head phones you want and plug them into the doors. Then the kids can listen to the DVD all they want.
Or you can get the retailer installed single screen 10 inch DVD system. It comes with wireless head phones.
Is anyone else having a problem getting the DVD sound to go through the spreakers, as opsed to the headphones.
We thought that too until we got the first RRS with RSE and hey wait a minute no wireless headphones.
I have been cruising all the RRS forums and I noticed there is quite a few that have multitude steering problems from gear noise to shimming and a clunking sound. :sick: Has anyone encountered the same problem. My RRS was built in early February and I was wondering if they have corrected the steering problems or can I anticipate problems when I pick up my vehicle :confuse:
The RRS does have a different suspension then the LR3. It is tighter over all and more responsive. The basic design of the suspension is the same but it is tuned much differently. The RRS also has a much smaller cross section then the LR3 since it is lower to the ground and does not have the cab to the rear design.

The reason for asking this is I am a two hour drive to my LR dealer
I have changed my oil in previous vehicles with no problem.

I think I'm gonna go for it.
I hope it doesn't change the ride and road feel that I like.
What tires should I put on the 22" wheels?
265-35-22?
285-35-22?
265-40-22?
What should I do?
Land Rover Turns Range Stormer Concept to Reality — Kinda (Inside Line)
Steve, Host
today I am going to the dealership to get rid of the car. what was originally annoying is now unsafe. I have never had a more unsatisfactory ownership experience. I will never buy a Land Rover product again and I would encourage others not to buy their products also.
Do you mean '05?

I am new to this post. My wife is looking to replace her RX330 later this year (think fall or winter), and my son and I have already test driven three models we're interested in:
Porsche Cayenne & Cayenne S
Mercedes-Benz E350 4Matic (yes, E)
Range Rover Sport HSE
I expected the Cayenne (S) to drive head and shoulders above the others... boy, was I wrong! The Cayenne V6 is very slow, unresponsive, does not impress on interior craftsmanship, has a notchy shifter, and not-all-that-great handling. (it plays tricks on you- it sounds like it's going fast, but it's barely accelerating)
The Cayenne S, on the other hand, was very fast. It may be a little too fast and not cushy enough for my wife's taste. Also, it's slightly overpriced.
The Benz E350 4Matic was an amazing sedan to drive and to sit back in. Before my current Audi S4 Cabriolet, I had a 2000 A6 2.7T quattro, my first Audi. The E was easily a better driving car, and had an interior ambience that almost reaches my S4's quality. It also wasn't too expensive (for a Mercedes).
I walked into the Land Rover dealership with a grudge against anything wearing the Range Rover badge- I thought that they were big, clumsy, overpriced and stupid. My son was the main reason I went at all- he is a major gearhead, and was all in favor of the RR Sport. We tested a black HSE, and I was extremely surprised to find what a good driver the car is. It is sportier than the RX of course, and it's not hefty and over-muscular like the Cayenne S. It handled nimbly, and had a very creative and contemporary, yet luxurious, interior. I walked out of the dealer thinking to myself, "I would be very happy buying a Range Rover Sport today."
That's something I thought I'd never think.
and in response to comments, it is a great car, just totally unreliable and in my case unsafe. If you can stand the constant visits to the service department and driving a loaner when you paid for a RRS then buy one!
I'm getting a bit shaky of the three cars we're looking at- Cayenne S, E350 4Matic, Range Rover Sport- for their brands' reliability reputations. We're used to a trouble-free Lexus, so please, please, PLEASE tell me how horrible or angelic your Range Rover Sport has been!
I'd like to see.
By the way, is there a chance that some are bad, some good? I would be terribly disappointed if it had bad reliability. Like I said, we're very used to an angelic experience from our Lexus (I know nothing can get close to that, but...)

I have the RRS SC and have put nearly 10K miles on it. Great car, wonderful experience, NO problems!
(It's also gorgeous, luxurious, not too expensive, and very quick/nimble!)
One more thing. I only had a brief test drive, about five minutes. I can't really remember how truck-like the car was. Do you think it would be too truck-like for the misses's taste?
I know that it won't be anywhere near the Camry-Lexus we have now, but maybe something... between the normal Range Rover and the RX330?
Suggestions would be appreciated.
seems like we're looking at nearly the same cars.
Again, may I ask why your name is what it is? If you answer in the Q7 room before you see this, there's no need to answer. It's just a bit confusing.
The Range Rover Sport is standard with tons of goodies- NAV w/ voice recognition, "video games", heated/cooled seats and even a beverage cooler!
Such luxuries!
In fact I bet the RRS is a little more stable at speed since it has smaller cross-sectional exposure to winds.
Anyone else has this problem???
My wife enjoys driving it with good visibility and easy handling.
I'm sure you're never going to be shopping at Land Rover again, but they may replace your car and you may end up having a satisfactory experience.
Just a thought.
This is happening in every single post room I go to!
Are my posts really that good? No one has a response?

The bads:
* I couldn't get the Dynamic R. option installed on my model so the handling in curvy roads is bad, really bad, it tangles and everybody gets car sick including myself! :sick: ;
* Bluetooth just died this week, still havn't figured out how;
* Trunk door does not close properly and need extra help to close properly;
* When BAck DVD entertainment fixed to the roof is on and either the wireless headphones or the music speakers are connected to it, every 5 minutes a loud noise caused by interference from mobile phone towers interrupts sound during 10 secs aprox.;
* Last but not least DVD does not work on the GPS screen although I own a european market made for unit.
The goods:
* I still love it!! unfortunately now that I am heading for my 3rd kid I'll probably have to switch it to something else... try to get back a Disco 2, 7 seats for example!! Disco 3? no way jose!

Please clear this up for me... does the Range Rover Sport drive dramatically differently in everyday life (turning radius, height, feel from the seat)?
I am cross-shopping it with the Porsche Cayenne S, and am not sure which to buy right now.
Favorite color in the Range Rover Sport: Giverny Green (light grey-green)
Cayenne S: Sand White (off-white)
'06 Audi A3 2.0T DSG • '05 Audi S4 Cabriolet • '04 Lexus RX330
I asked a question, and of course, no one has posted anything since.
This happened to someone who posted on April 22 in the Audi Q7 post room also. It's happened to me in the Q7 room, "Ultimate AWD Sport Sedans" room, and Audi RS4 room.
Someone, please say something!
:sick:
