2010 Land Rover: subtle changes for a more refined look
Gerry McGovern, designer, Land Rover/Range Rover – this one includes a video
Holland & Holland Range Rover by Overfinch
All the official shots from Overfinch of their new special edition are up on the ROVERHAUL galleries – some parts are great, but I’d prefer it to have some actual Range Rover badging and I’ll actually say it – less wood trim on the front center console – the rear center console it great!
On the exterior, the exhaust tips & trim have a great look, everything else seems like more subtle tweaks and again I wish they’d stick a “Range Rover” somewhere on there.
Production will be limited to 100 units annually with prices starting from around £120,000 – which includes the wood trim matching shotgun & they’ll replenish the alcohol for a year.
2010 Range Rover – Start/Stop While Moving
Not something you really want to be doing but it’s not as simple as just removing the key from the dash with the introduction of the Smart Key for 2010:
START/STOP WHILE MOVING
Switching off the engine
With the gear selector in position P, press the engine START/STOP button. The engine will
stop and the ignition system will return to convenience mode.
Caution: It is not advisable to switch off the engine while the vehicle is moving. However,
if a situation arises where engine switch off is urgent, the following procedure applies:
1. Press the START/STOP button for a total of two seconds, or
2. Press the START/STOP button twice within two seconds.
With either method the warning message ‘Engine Stop Button Pressed’ will be displayed
Rolling restart
A rolling restart can be initiated by selecting transmission neutral position N and pressing
the engine START/STOP button. Now select D.
