Hi all,

Currently looking at a 2010 Range rover (will be my first) and I notice that some of the 2010 models seem to have different side grills to others ?

Some seem to have the old(?) style 3 vertical slats, and others seem to have the newer vertical slats with 3 horizontal bars at the top ?

As an example :

vs

Was this just a visual option pack or something ? (both cars are definitely 2010 cars with the LCD dash etc).

Thanks!

Dave.

Both are correct. The 3 fin was carried over from the 2005-2009 style but is still correct on the 2010 shape. The other grill is more common and is on the later models colour coded to the car too. Tom

I think originally post 2010 the Vogue retained the Three-fin and the Supercharged and AB got the new style. THen the Westminster was launched with the new style as Standard.

Thanks all, I presume it's easy enough to fit the newer type side grills to a 2010 car that has the original 3 fin type ?

very easy.. ... - .- -.

3 fin grills only became standard fit across the whole range in 11.5my

Thanks guys, my mind is at ease now - the car I'm looking at buying has the 'old style' grilles and I was worried it was an early 2010 non-facelift model or something

Is the 2010 touch screen sat nav any good ? - most manufacturers sat navs I've used so far seem worse than an old Garmin I bought 10 years ago ! Does it at least have 7 digit postcode entry?

What's the likelihood of it having updated maps on it ?

The satnav in the 2010 onwards is slightly better than the previous touch screen (06 - 10). But not much. It's essentially the same thing although the general interface is slightly improved. And yes it does have full 7 digit postcode entry - but so did the previous version.

The updates are now all done by hard disk so no more DVD updates. Can only be done at the dealer unfortunately - at full cost.

I have a 2010 Vogue with the 3 fins and also looking to change them to the newer style so let me know if you find a good source for some replacement parts!
