In this video we look at how to remove the front bumper on our Range Rover Sport L494 Supercharged. The bumper is actually quite easy to remove if you follow the steps shown in this video and will only take about 30 minutes.
Simon... thank you for this video. I removed my Disco 5 bumper cover today to install some fog lights. It is essentially exactly the same as the L494. Referred back to your video multiple times!!! kj
Would love to see you guys make a grill that deletes the fog lights. Lots of demand for that I bet. Especially for us that can’t swap to a SVR bumper due to cameras and parking sensor differences. Would greatly improve the look without a lot of money spent.
Yes we did talk about that yesterday - we were looking at adding the later fog light but that was tricky due to space etc - but i think I agree with you that just ditch the fog lamp !
Have you considered doing a 2019 facelift of the front end (bumpers and wings) which should in theory also let you upgrade to the new matrix front lights?
Please do a video showing how to take off the rear spoiler and align the rear tailgate. The strip (same as led tailgate strip) sits lower than the shoulders of it seems 75% of RRS. The L494 wasn’t designed for the tailgate to sit lower yet they leave the factory this way. Would be great to see how to fix it for the L494 Tailgate Droop Club!
Quite a lot of work to change the head lights / fog lights.. What height were you flying at, when you had the bird strike, lucky it didn't go thru the windshield.... as always very informative ... well done to all..
Great video. Thank you so much for posting this one and all the others for the L494 that you have. Question about the end caps (bottom corner pieces). Can you remove and replace those while the bumper is on the car? Mine are beat up and I would like to replace them. Thank you
u guys r awesome . I wish your shop was in Florida . I have A 2010 range rover sprt autobiography for some reason I can't GET the ( ECO STOP - START ) 2 WORK . IT USED 2 WORK BUT FOR SOME REASON IT STOP WORKING . IF U HAVE ANY IDEA PLEASE LET ME ( NO ) I WOULD APPRECIATE A LOT . ALSO I WAS WONDERING IF U GUYS R STILL SELLING THE STEP BAR FOR THE RANGE ROVER . BY THE WAY I MISSED YOUR VIDEOS ...
More bravery!! I hope the holes and bolts line up again when you put the new one on...there are a lot of them to be slightly out and constant jiggling to get them back again! Better than a Hitchcock film...will the SVR become an SV Oh..that should line up...umm..😃😃😃😃😃😃🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
The little screw behind the numberplate. Do you mean that this is hidden and that we must remove the numberplate to get access to this and undo it also first. Thanks
Thanks again for the video. Very helpful!After replacing the headlight assembly everything seems to work except the drl’s work with headlights on or parking lights on but not working strictly as drl’s ….. any suggestions?
I think the DRLS are driven by the LINbus system on the car. I cannot see that they have coded this to the car. So does one headlight behave different to the other one ?
@@L663 so no. They both behave the same. And they are brand new Magneti Marelli (. The drl’s are on with headlights on or when parking lights are on but do not seem to function as pure drl’s during the day
Hey so actually they are working. Sorry for the confusion. I believe I was getting fooled by the ambient light sensor. It was getting dark here so the headlights were on. 🤦🏻thanks again for the video!
Not really - you have to then remove all the radiators - and air conditioning radiator to more access to the engine - so it will help but there are more items to unbolt.
@@CarpioTheOnlyOne They are being supportive... I am just hoping that I have the problems so others dont need to go through these problems ! but at times it makes me unpopular with the dealers !
That would be impossible as the body and the chassis are one ! You need to drop the rear subframe on for some jobs - i need to do this to fix the electric rear differential !
@@L663 Got it-- I don't care about the SVR side vents. So I just need the lights retrofitted. Should I buy a chinese version? I'm afraid of poor quality, I prefer OEM. But I can't find out how to use the OEM head lights with the old harness. There are no harnesses I can find online.
@@publicname515 Sorry if you change 2013-2017 sport to SVR the bumper fits - no need to change anything id you want to fit the 2018 SVR to an early sport this is more complex. The chinese lights are not great - the ones i have tested.
Its just our little joke - we colour the fixings to make it easier for you guys to see what we are doing - but the dealers made some interesting remarks relating to the use of our pen that was captured on the dashcam !
This car has had enough crash action to last it a lifetime ! Lets be honest its had a hard life.... crashed .. bodge repaired... then taken apart by me....
