Hope everyone is having a great Christmas. Just an update. Since owning the RRs which is about 6 weeks now,i have travelled about 2300 miles trouble free,apart from a few niggling things that needed doing. So first thing i noticed was a drip coming from the passenger side a pillar at the top inside the vehicle,making the passenger side slightly damp which turned out to be the sunroof drain tube being blocked. Also the driver side foot-well was really soaked underneath carpet. Which was partially caused by the sunroof drainage tube being blocked also. After cleaning both tubes are now clear and draining properly.Driver side however has been doing my fruit in Confused I found out that the A pillar on the outside could be of fault,so i ordered the updated repair kit and followed the instructions and seems to be working and no more leaks. Though i have not put all the floor panels back properly as i am still checking for water. ,I will put everything back at the weekend. The key fob would not lock the doors but that was due to water ingress on the passenger side which is now fixed. The three green wires in the loom which i cut and soldered and all is well. I also found out that my engine is the non dpf version which i am happy about,but only 95% certain. I will try and find out for sure before topping up oil. I can not see any dpf on the exhaust. Anyways i have travelled up to Yorkshire from Worcestershire and at this point just getting g some stuff ready to travel up to Loch Ness Inverness which we will be leaving about 4/5am then onto Fort William, then loch lomond. So will update my journey when i can. Maybe some pics.Anyways just thought you may want to know Very Happy

Yeah i am enjoying Centurion (name of car,but not set in stone yet Very Happy ) I also forgot to mention that i couldn't seem to know if the air con was working correctly so had a service done. Now here is the thing, the system was supposed to be holding 650g of gas/oil but when checked it only had 10g Surprised Good god i thought, that's a bad sign,but anyways service was done pressure holding and no leaks are detected,and the system is now brutally cold so fingers crossed that over the next few days i it dosn't leak and keeps working as it should,but for the amount that was in the system makes me think that there could be a small leak,so will find out i guess Razz

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

DPFs were only fitted to Facelift cars - the originals in the UK didn’t have them. Roll out date for DPF RRS was 2010 with the face lift.
Enjoy your run around Scotland, the A9 is in a bit of flux with upgrading north of Perth but you will love the drive back south from Fort William down to Glasgow on mostly fast sweeping roads except for one 10 mile section of twisty narrow road between Ardlui and Tarbert on the west side of Loch Lomond where there are Road widening works. Best to sit back, enjoy the stunning views and go with the slow flow on that bit as overtaking is nigh on impossible and many coaches and truck use it. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Thanks for the info on the DPF and the roads back from Loch Ness. I have driven the route before a few times and love the drive. Very Happy
