Scotland 2007 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Java Black
New owner with a couple questions!

Hello to all on the forum, I've just purchased a 2007 4.2 V8 SC Vogue se, which is superb I've had several old series 3 & defenders but this is my first RR, I'm interested in finding out about doing the 2010/12 face lift. Can someone give some advice on this mod? I was thinking of doing the rear first & the side vents. Then the front which I'm guessing will be parts intensive! Also I have the front & rear TVs but no headphones or remote, can I just pick these up from Land Rover or is there a cheaper option? Thanks

Everything you need is in my guide (second reply link) the from lights just have 1 resistor for the indicators, the rear lights have to have a complete interface (available from eBay)

Thanks Matt, I've managed to get a pair of 2012 tail lamps with a couple interfaces brand new for less than £400! So that's on its way, I have a 2007 supercharged, in your how 2 it says I don't need to modify the wings, just remove & replace the brackets & just to be clear the 2007 washer system is good enough or do I still require to change any part of the washer system? Thanks again

You should just be able to change the brackets on the wings, there just a bolt on part. Not 100% on the washer system on a 07+ you need the more powerful washer pump for the 2012 bumper washer jets, if you have 2 standard pumps and 1 larger pump on your washer fluid bottle already you will be good to go, if you have 3 standard pumps you will need the later 2010+ style bottle and pumps.

Good luck and if you need any more he'll let me know, and don't forget to post pics when your done! Thumbs Up

Well that saves a lot of messing around! Where is the washer bottle? I'll try & get a look in to see what I have fitted. Thank you so much for your help! Oh one last thing, what head lamps do I go for? I want the black ones the same as your RR, I don't think I have lamps that move around but I do have corner lamps!

The washer bottle is on the passenger side at the bottom just in front of the wheel arch liner. You can access it by unbolting the bottom of the liner from the under body engine cover then carefully bending it back and you should be able to access the bottle.

For the black headlights it's the 2012 model lights you want, Dan from Duckworths is your best man for the exact part number for the style of lights you want with the features you need. My car doesn't have the AFS system or corner lamps.

Superb! Thanks, I've just checked, my lamps do move when I steer so I'm guessing its AFL
