I was wondering if anyone else has issues with the lines in the heated windshield? OR do you get use to it? At night, approaching a signal light I see halos around it.. kind of distracting.
Also, is there any way on the satellite radio to tell which artist/song is playing?
I assume theres no way to adjust the headrest? It get in my way a little bit..
Many thanks!!
ok, I did have one issue. The rear windshield wiper is on a screw, it can come loose, especially if you use it without cleaning the snow off. So be careful, mine flew off.
I see the lines on the heated windows, but I dont have any problems with it. And it comes in handy in snow
Just press the tuning button in, to see the name, and the song, on the satellite radio.
Enjoy....
Also, check out RangerRovers,net, it is a great resource....
Anyone know what's up or had this happen??
A possibly related service bulletin (NASF TSB #LTB00041, Rev 2) entitled "Reduced Power Under Load" appeared, affecting the supercharged versions of the L322/LM and Range Rover Sport/LS Sport vin numbers 6A901924 to 7A109767) The symptom was described as reduced power and or a misfire at high engine loads and road speeds, with the possibility of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) P0096 and/or P2601 stored. The source of the problem was described as follows: "The electrical harness power supply and ground for the auxiliary coolant pump may be cross connected in connector C3006. The pump will run backwards causing the Engine Control Module (ECM) to reduce power to prevent damage because the pump flow is low. The auxiliary coolant pump will be degraded under these conditions.
Action: Should a customer express concern, modify the wiring at connector C3006 to the correct positions:
• Cavity 1 connected to "-" pump connection Black (B) Brown (N)
• Cavity 2 connected to "+" pump connection Brown / Purple (NP) Red / White (RW)
Install a new supercharger coolant pump as part of the repair if either the fault codes or the incorrect wiring is discovered following the repair."
Update January 2010: Owners continue to experience this problem. Peter White reports his recent experience with his Range Rover Sport Supercharged HST (late 2006 model): "Engine fault warning when accelerating/overtaking on motorway. Happened 3 times in one month. Immediate power loss to limp home mode – very dangerous! Temporarily solved by stopping the vehicle, turning off and removing the key. Dealer suggested software upgrade but later suggested both a software upgrade and replacement supercharger coolant pump and associated wiring following a diagnostic check."
Note: Turning off and removing the key for 10 seconds resets it, but doesn't fix it!!! :sick:
Turns out I had 3 out of balance tires (.5 to 3 oz off from factory), and 1 Michelin tire was deformed. Once this was resolved, the technician also checked hub centering once remounted on the vehicle. Apparently, the self-centering hub is not perfect, and the wheel needs to be pulled and and rotated to find true centering.
No problems since except when I took tires off myself, and then remembered to play around recentering the hub-wheel orientation. Seems like the engineers could do a better job, at least I am satisfied with the results.
Still no problems at 10k miles.
Regarding road conditions, there is feedback to the steering wheel which also mimics woble. If I simply hold my hand lightly on the wheel, it goes away. I think the steering is very sensitive, and the steering wheel mass is very light, providing this sensation on certain surfaces.
The difference between bad balance/carcass, and road feedback is that previously, my hand would shake. Now, it is only sensation.
Basic: 4 yr./ 50000 mi.
Drivetrain: 4 yr./ 50000 mi.
Roadside: 4 yr./ 50000 mi.
Do you mean you got "free" maintenance on your '06 for the first four years? I thought Land Rover only did that for 15,000 miles, one year.
Sales of the brand are doing well, especially with growth in China. Guess they figure they can afford to lose a few customers over it.
