Thread: RRS 2010 Offroad Upgrades

Hi Garry, yes defantely looked at an RAI. However if we can make this option work I think. Would prefer it. There is no guarantee. But have offered myself as a Guinee pig...

I have mantec in the uk they have confirmed that and rai will fit the car.

Hmm, I'll look into the llams, as my understanding is there are components ie a switch that can't be easily removed. I spoke to a few places about llams, they all get stressed when I talked about warranty, where as a couple of rods are easier.

I accept that really warranty they will try and have to claim it was caused by the llams, I think at the moment I'd prefer to avoid having that conversation with them. I'm still undecided.

Has anyone had experience with landrover and suspension warranty with llams fitted? Did they try and get out of a claim? I'd be interested to know probably like others.?

Yes you are correct - however if you are worried about the warranty side then simply leave it hanging loose behind the lower steering column panel and let it hang out when offroad.

Like what you are intending - good luck with it.

I know that OL have been developing a RRS bull bar for a while now - just make sure that what gets fitted to your car has the Certified for your model RRS placard fitted to it - I am sure they will but I would make sure.

Cheers

I had the front lower control arms replaced (worn ball joints at 50k), and the left rear airbag replaced under warranty late 2012 and then a "gallery pipe" in the air suspension for a persistent slow leak all with LLAMS fitted. No concerns were raised by the LR dealer who accepted the claim during service at end of warranty period. I was quite impressed by the service I received actually. Good luck with the mods. The only other thing I would add ( in addition to Garry's suggestions) for remote travel would be a tyre pressure monitoring system. I have the TyreDog with 6 wheel display so camper is monitored too. Regards, David

OL RRS bullbar - i saw the Welshpool fit one may be 6-8 weeks ago to a white RRS it was out the front when i was running late to a meeting close by, i ended up being even later!

Didnt grab a snap but i'm sure they would have some.

I am sure with rods or LLAMS there computers can pick up things that have occurred with suspension heights ? So hiding the fact that you have them won't making any difference.

Anyway, the onus is on them to "prove" that the rods or LLAMS caused the fault....not just try to say the believe it caused it.

Would be the same with a whole heap of accessories.

I know of a person that had front airbag raising issues and the northern LR dealer tried to say his winch and bull bar caused the system to play up. Simple fix...he weighed the front and showed them the weight was within bag capability....LR fixed the issue without cost. I would have told them to go and way and do it themselves due to them needing to prove it.

It's really hard for them to prove it I think.

Gordon from Goe puts some snaps on this forum of it ... I think it was he. He may have even been involved with its development ?

Here is an L322 with a bar.
