Paul and 3E’s recent river fording pictures inspired me to do some river fording myself. So after several nights spent going over topo maps until the early hours of the morning, I picked a suitable river and fording spot. Needless to say, the 4 hr drive seemed like 4-1/2 hrs-- I just couldn’t wait to get there. When I finally got there, I wasn’t disappointed.
The river…
Preparing to go…
As you can see, the current was quite strong. Good thing I had the stock 19’s on because during the crossing, the water actually came up over the bottom lip of my wheels at one point.
But I made it!!!
Anyhow, couple of things I learned, especially for newbies wanting to try this:
1. Always test the depth and probe the river bottom with a stick. Fortunately I was in a forest and there were plenty of sticks.
2. There’s no water fording icon on the terrain selector knob :evil: . This threw me for bit so I pulled out the manual to check if I was missing something, nope---maybe on the ‘10’s? I used the rock crawl mode and that worked fine.
Goosey!!!! Awesome!!! Perhaps they left out "Submarine" mode on the MY'08s. :wink: Funny you mentioned a water mode, during the Rally someone was commenting on all the modes and such and said it probably had "Submarine". :lol:
We need pics of the water above the lip...or it didn't happen.
Ok, ok...you'll just have to believe me. I didn't get a picture of the water height, but for good reason. I left my color matched Hunter Stornoway wellies at home.
Hello.
Can someone share experiences and maybe some write-ups in how to retrofit a Heated Steering Wheel on my 2007 Range Rover Sport SC?
Would like to get a complete list (if possible) of the parts needed, and some relative cost of the entire kit.
Thank you.

I just bought a 2013 Range Rover Sport and have only had it for a few days. Three times so far the engine starts surging while I am stopped and I have to press really hard on the brake to keep the vehicle from moving forward. Then after a few seconds it goes away. It only seems to happen...
Here some pictures I took while installing an aftermarket backup camera to my range rover sport 2006 supercharged. The camers is common on the internet and the same for the freelander. The camera will fit at one of the numberplatelighting holes.
First you pull out the 'old' numberplatelighting...
Anyone have the USB stick, lost mine but have the registration code. I can prob find it if i look but thought maybe someone has one they would sell if they are all done with it. (without a VIN key it is pretty much worthless).
I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly or not; would seem a low milage 20k 5.0L supercharged engine hasn't been service for the past five years. It's covered 10,000 miles in the past 5 years. How at risk is this engine? What should I advise the seller? Was advise it was ahead of...
