United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

Tried the magic today....so it automatically goes into P if you turn the engine off with it in D. Sort of helpful, but I never turn the engine off in D as I don’t like to hang the car on the gearbox when I park up, so I select N, apply the handbrake and let the car rest. Then select P, turn engine off and get out.

I See what the idea is though.

Out of habit, I tend to drive with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gear selector. I'm guessing it's because my other car has manual transmission.

Also I think it's because I always knock the car into neutral when stationary at traffic lights etc. The Mrs always asks me why and I reply with "it's just my built in mechanical sympathy!"

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Autobiography Black TDV8 Barolo Black

Not sure about the boxes in the L322, but the 4 speed auto in the classic was better left in gear (IIRC) - there was an oil pump that wasn't driven in neutral - only when in gear - and leaving the car in neutral - and the revving at the MOT at the time - was not good for it.

but the one thing I like about the stick is its advantage in overtaking, without looking you can just knock the stick over for sport mode as quick as a flash. But with rotary you do tend to look down which means you're taking your eyes off the road for a split second.



If kickdown isn't fast enough for your overtaking you can use your paddle shifters in Drive so you don't need to look down to change to Sport mode Very Happy 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

To be honest, if you cant remember the positions on the dial, you wouldn't remember them on the gear lever either.

Except that every auto I've ever had (and that's loads) goes P-R-N-D front to back. Often some variation about S mode or "manual" / "command shift" whatever. Park on my BMW is now a button but it still otherwise otherwise follows this pattern.The issue I have with the rotary is I cannot remember which way to turn it from D to get S, or R, so I have to look. Graham
