The best place (not the cheapest, if that's what you mean by best) is Duckworth Parts, aftermarket wheel speed sensors tend to be cheap for a reason.

The wheels and tyres are not standard. The correct size is 255/50/20.

I find most of the standard wheels look far better than aftermarket ones (and won't be an insurance 'issue'). forgot to say, any of the cheap USB Bluetooth adaptors from Amazon etc. work fine with the aux. input - this is the one I use https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08NYH2J3W/ Most phones can connect to multiple devices so you can still use the LR Bluetooth for calls. |

I think they are genuine Range Rover wheels but wider at 9.5 inches. CH3M-1007-AA. |

Wheel Sensors and Parts There's loads of great and knowledgeable parts suppliers. Here are just a few: Advanced Factors Maltings Offroad Duckworths Lrparts.net Jaguar Land Rover Classic Tyres/Wheels As others have said, the wheels aren't from this car and normal tyre size would be 255/50/20 however, looking at the bulge on the Pirelli's you have on there currently, I think a 255 will fit those wheels. Tyre wall size is what will compromise comfort, not width (which will actually increase fuel consumption). So, just make sure you get 255/50/20 when they need changing and the garage don't just put the same size as currently on there. A 255 will also give you a flatter looking wall, which looks much neater. Bluetooth Music For Bluetooth music, you've got 2 options: 1. Bovee type adaptor (it plugs into the ipod socket in the arm rest and enables Bluetooth streaming and the track buttons will work on the steering wheel). Quite expensive though at about £90 https://amzn.eu/d/asSeG8h 2. Bluetooth streaming mod https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic60408.html Front Chrome For the front chrome, no need to wrap the surrounds. The front corner/fog lamp surrounds and the lower bumper trim are available in black from Land Rover and are quite inexpensive (iirc the trim is about £70 and the surrounds are about £15/20 each). Part numbers look to be: Bumper trim LR019001 Fog/turning light surrounds LR018234 (Right Hand Side) and LR018245 (Left Hand Side) This is what the front of mine looks like:
Other Things If you're new to 4.4 TDV8, some VERY common things that will need doing if not already: - Oil cooler - the seals go or it warps and leaks oil. Left, oil will reach its way into the cooling system. This can be checked by looking down between the gaps in the intake manifold. The top of the V should be clean with no oil residue. The bell housing should also only have road grime on - Auxiliary belt - Easy to change and needs doing at the 100k-120k miles mark. These start getting brittle after around 10 years anyway so, best to get it changed if it hasn't been or you don't know - Air conditioning compressor - very common failure. Compressor needs replacing. Basically any fault with the air con on the 4.4 TDV8 is almost always the compressor. They seem to fail anywhere between 7-12 years ‐ Alternator - seems to fail around 10 years old. Should be supplying 14.5V +- 1V. Can be checked with a multimeter, the IID diagnostic tool or the 'secret menu' in the stereo - Rear brake calipers - prone to rusting and seizing around 10 years old. Require replacement. Check for heat damage on the discs (they discolour) and rust around the piston. ‐ Air conditioned seats - if you have these fitted as an option (a knob either side of the clock), the driver's side heating and/or cooling seems to fail approaching 140k miles. If you have heated seats only, the mats tend to last a little longer. If they're the heated & cooled seats, turn the dial to full on cold and see if you can hear the fan going in the seat back and the one in the seat base. Check for airflow coming through the perforations and leave running for 5 minutes. Now turn it to full heat and do the same. The seat circuit shuts down when a fault is detected so, if it all runs, should be ok. For the heated only seats, this is easy - turn on and check both the back and base get hot. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 Last edited by garyRR on 28th Jul 2022 2:18am.

This isn't correct. CH3M-1007‐AA are wheels from the old Range Rover Sport (i think, see marketing picture), not the L322, which is why they don't look right. I have taken a screenshot of the brochure, which shows these were not a wheel option for this car. Last edited by garyRR on 27th Jul 2022 10:36pm. Edited 2 times in total |

Wheels definitely aftermarket. The LR ones that look similar have a gap between the spokes. These wheels don’t.

Gary, I meant they are genuine Land Rover wheels. CH3M-1007-aa , Grey Diamond cut so they are not aftermarket if you know what I mean. [ I like the way you changed your comment from on L405] |

Wheels are definitely RRS... I found with our old L322 with a design pack that the tyres looked too small... I changed our tyres for 255/55/20 which looked more in-keeping with the design kit |

I think I might have some gloss black for surrounds and some black powder-coated exhaust ends... PM me if you are interested sir? |
