Kenya 2011 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Santorini Black

Just in the process of getting information about shipping my car so thought I would update this thread with some helpful tips as I get them.

Apparently most shipping agents will ask that the car have as little fuel as possible - i.e. in the red - as this is due to reducing fire risk (and apparently is law in UK although can't confirm).

Also, on points used to secure the car in the container, I know not to use the towing eye but should I be using the "lashing points" described in the manual (pic below - poor quality sorry) or are there some other tie down points to use?

Yip, put the car in access low and then lash it down as tight as you can, fold the mirrors in and make sure the car can't rock, and really try to rock it Smile FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

If i am correct in transport mode the car sinks in the bump stops so even lower than access mode presicely for the reason Will mentions. The lashing points are indeed for these type of situations. Marketing guys would say the lashing points are for those river crossings in the bush on the rafts goung across rapids Wink MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

thanks guys...

car is being shipped in a month's time - so need to fit in a full service and oil change before that (even though last one was only 4 months ago)...

given up on removing dpf, decat and blanking egrs as did not get any positive feedback on that...

as I learn more, I'll add to this topic and hopefully have some pictures of the FFRR on the African savannah in a few months time ... MY11 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - "African Queen"

Hi Axle,
As Eugene surmised, you can put the RR in transport mode with your IIDTool Thumbs Up

Look forward to seeing the FFRR in its other perfect home, Africa. Savannah, Rift Valley etc. etc. Finally someone who can add some more to the Africa section of the forum.

And the IID is a LOT cheaper than the Faultmate as well, although the Faultmate can do some stuff the IID can not (yet Steve ???) do Smile MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

The egr blanking would be a simple process with leaving the current setup in place and just fitting a blanking plate at each end of the system pipes. Dpf removal could be trickier but not impossible. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Thanks all.

@Steve - got the tool and glad this helpful option is on it.

@ebajema - will do my best although it may end up being just lots of pictures haha

@kingpleb - agree with egr but I'm concerned this will play havoc with some sensor or other electrics or will the car not realise it has been done? MY11 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - "African Queen"

If you don't unplug anything but just block the metal pipe the car shouldn't have a clue it's been done as it can't register egr airflow Smile FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Leave a fish in the boot as a nice present to yourself when it arrives.
