Have you got the part number for the paddles? Only ones on the bay are £110.

Speak to Nick Lee (parts manager) at Yeovil LR - he can get any genuine part you could wish for, and probably cheaper than eBay. I paid a lot less than 70 quid for my paddles.
Nick is on the Disco3.co.uk forum as "The Large One" (dunno why cos he's not THAT big )

hi matt, glad to see yours is all done, as i am still away on holiday i will have to carrie on with my one when i get back. i went for the 3 channel wireless unit just incase an other mod comes up and it could pay of.

Rob, you wont find cheaper then £110 for new units i can bet on that.. that will be poweful uk and that is less then half price then land rover, i got a deal from simon for me and matt as we was working on the mod togeather and simon was willing to give us a discount inorder to help us with the costing but as i said that is cheap and you find them from any one

thanks to wiggs for the link that sorted the heated steering wheel prob as some of you may know it was one or the other
thanks to matt for all his hard work and testing the mod out

and thanks to dan who sent me the link that started the whole thing in the first place

all in a good mod that needs no software to get working...cheap and quite easy to do.. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

Is there any specific reason why a dealer can't edit the CCF file? Or is it simply a case of they could do so but won't. Anybody know if someone has the required equipment in Sydney?

AFAIK the dealer equipment just can't access anything that is not fitted as a standard feature on the vehicle.
For instance, they couldn't change the sensitivity of my rain-sensitive wipers, couldn't turn on "unlock at engine stop" etc. Only the Faultmate (or perhaps the Autologic thingy) can do this

just a thought, but i got a new heated wheel in the new shiney soft leather with chrome spokes and paddles for 170 from this guy :

ive got my paddles fitted and ive now got power to them all i need to do now is also figure out a way of getting the up and down shift wires through the steering wheel to the box selector almost there
A massive thanks to matt for all his help
@ dave i think i will need to do what you did to change the light on the paddles green as the white doesnt look right with my green lights  "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

just use small bits of green acetate, its the same as sweet wrappers but thicker,they use in theaters over the lights
are you not using the wireless rf module V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

yes im gonna go for a wireless module but unfortunatley for me i have no idea how to do it using one of those as all the ones i see in maplins seem to have remotes like this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-CHANNEL-RF-WIRELES...2eb58e7db5.....with regards to the green tint im gonna get some lighting film off of one of the film sets im working on that should do the job well  "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

thats the item you need, what you have to do is mod the paddles to make them work as an open/close switch, then the the remote from maplins is modded by removing the switches and soldering the wires from the paddles to the points where the switches are soldered to the board. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

ive allready modded the paddles and got the power hard wired to them (i even tested them to make sure they work which they do) its just a case of getting the wires to the box now......with the wireless thing do i use the remote as the sender on the paddles? "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

Hi pretlove, what you need to do with the remote sender is dismantle the sender unit, use a soldering iron to carefully remove the 2 channel buttons (one big and one small) then you need to split the one ground connection from the paddle shift loom into 3, 1 for channel 1, 1 for channel 2 and 1 for connecting to the ground on the steering wheel controls.

Then on the channel 1 connection on the sender unit you need to connect a ground connection and the downshift wire to the solder pads on the circuit board. On channel 2 you need to do the same thing, one ground connection and the upshift wire.

If you are using the maplin RF device the ground and signal wires only work one way round when you are soldering them on you will have to try the system out before soldering the wires to the board, all 4 wires have to be connected to the board to test the system, if one of the grounds or signal wires are the wrong way round it will cause a short in the circuit so when you press one paddle it will send the signal to activate both relays on the receiver. (i had to solder and unsolder 4 times before i got it the right way round)

If you need any more help, let me know

Matt

matt, did you not do a video of this... V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

Why not order a spare transmitter and hand it to your rear passengers, that way you can all be involved with the driving, it would certainly make pulling onto a busy roundabout all the more exciting when you discover your mate has selected 6th
