    Do we want to separate RRS from the D3/D4

    For a long time the RRS and Disco 3 and Disco 4 shared the same platform and hence the RRS (L320) was hosted with the D3 and D3 on this forum.

    This is no longer the case. The L494 Range Rover Sport has an aluminium chassis (D7u platform) which is not shared with the Discovery 4.

    Do members, particularly those with RRS want to separate the RRS and host it with the other Range Rover models?

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    If it needs seperating,keep the old RRS specific posts here.
    Next issue,RRS owners that dont know the difference will be posting in the new area.

    Hi There,
    Does the new Discovery Sport have anything in common with the new RRS platform, apart from also being made by Land Rover? Does the Discovery Sport stay in the D3 / D4 site?

    The Discovery Sport is based on the Evoque although it will be replacing the Freelander. So by rights it's more likely to go into one of those forums rather than the D3/D4,RRS forum.

    I have another idea, why not make a sub-forum in the D3/D4/RRS section for the L494 RRS.

    That looks ok to me, the current D3, D4 & RRS forum remains intact, but discussion on the new models is close and in the same general area.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Is the Disco on the D7u platform?
    AFAIK the D7u is the aluminium chassis RRS not shared with the current D4

    The L494 RRS is closer to the L405 Range Rovers than it is to the D4

    I wonder how many of the voters have a RRS?
    People forget that RRS has shorter wheelbase as the D3 D4 chassis is cut down so not the same despite common running gear.
    I have had both, and the reduced luggage space in RRS is much less.
    Lack of split tailgate is another annoying difference.
    Regards
    Barry
