Thread: 2 possibly silly questions

Heard of google search?

Urban Dictionary: FFRR

No such thing as a stupid question!

CommandShift is LR's term for a semi-automatic gearbox, I.e. you have the option of sticking it in "D" and letting the vehicle choose which gear it needs, or you can move the selector across, and move up and down the gears manually (almost) as you wish.

And FFRR= "Full Fat Range Rover", to denote the full price, full size Rangie, rather than the Range Rover Sport which is based on the Discovery 3/4 platform.

Thanks Sheerluck. I would expect almost all SE's and HSE's to be Commandshift in that case. I wonder how many got delivered that were not?

With Sheerluck's response which is correct but is missing one action.

The gearbox can be used it 3 ways,

D = Fully Automatic, let it do the work for you.
S = (shift the stick to the left) Sports mode, which holds gears longer for you.
Manual Mode = (shift the stick forwards & backwards) You get to shift the gears & chose them yourself, mainly in off road mode.

All D3's & D4's, RRSports come standard with Commandshift.

Good luck & enjoy.

Cheers

The choice is either a manual gearbox, or an auto box, which LR call CommandShift.

And D3/4s with manual gearboxes appear to be quite rare here.

[edit] Thanks Sneigy, forgot about the Sport bit.

Thanks Pete,

Whatever happens, I'll be bringing it to you for servicing

Just as a matter of interest Sneigy, (and only a little off topic) how many manual D3/4/RRS do you see at your place?

As many as hen's teeth?
