I only asked you to check the Coolant levels !

Click image to enlarge

Popped into my local LR Dealer this morning, and was surprised to see a RRS in 2. Apparently a blown 5.0 SC Overfinch engine requiring replacement ( with a regular 4.2 standard unit ).

Only 3 hours to undo all 8 bolts ( unlike the FFRR )

When I spoke to my dealer I was surprised to find out how many Disco 3s they pull apart like that to get at things... Apparently it's a lot easy and faster.

I guess at the end of the day the RRS is just a Disco 3 wearing Flares.... 2005 Audi A8 W12

also - I think its the main reason why they weigh so much more than a real Range Rover.

So does that mean you can swap between a D3 and RRS body for the sake of 6-7 hours? 2006 Mercedes CLS

I was thinking D3 when you want to appear socially acceptable, and RRs when you want to 'bling it up' 2006 Mercedes CLS
