Range Rover Video Companion, circa 1997 #rangerover

Going back to 1997 with this video, from a VHS tape provided to all new owners at the time.  Broken up here into three parts, it’s over 30 minutes in length and covers most of what every owner needs to know.

Enjoy, it’s classic Range Rover.

2011.5 Model Year Range Rover gets new leather headliner options #rangerover

This is interesting, well interesting to me at least…

Not sure how new this is to the UK Range Rover site, but while I was checking it, as I do from time to time, there was a new item listed – “Headlining”.  In the US, the only leather headliner option is for the Range Rover Autobiography package and with that I believe there are really only two colors.

For the UK listing it appears to be available across the entire range, from the lowly Vogue to the range topping Autobiography

Vogue:

New-Headliner-Colors

Autobiography:

You’ve got to love Land Rover marketing… #landrover

What started in 2011 in the Europe diesel models continues in 2012 with the Range Rover Sport & Discovery 4 getting the Rotary Shift Selector.  And with the main gear selector going rotary, people would start to get confused between that knob and the ubiquitously round Terrain Response knob.  The Evoque’s got the same thing.

But now in the 2012 Discovery 4 Press Release, we get an actual name for the horizontal layout that replaced the Terrain Response Knob.  Picture below shows the Evoque, it’s slightly different in the Range Rover.

To avoid confusion, the Terrain Response Rotary Switch is replaced by a new Terrain Response Optimisation Switch.

Interesting stuff, huh?  HA!
