Just a thought chaps - is this going to turn into a Scottish Independence type debate whereby the L405 guys want their own forum?

God help us all if Wee Eck gets an L405 - there'll be an independent forum paid for by the vast price of crude oil and huge worldwide sales of Whisky

Oops double post!

Regardless. Without the L405 this site would surely die. Many members will move to L405's and it would be a shame to loose them to another forum.

Most sense you have made in ages

Thanks Rosco - a compliment and an insult in one sentence.

I do my best David

Just a thought guys, but doesn't the banner at the top of this forum show a L322 AND a L405, nose to tail, alongside the title fullfatrr.com?

A Range Rover is a Range Rover...it doesn't have another name alongside it, i.e. Sport or Evoque. They aren't Range Rovers, they're just Land Rovers that have been rebadged to cash in on the name.

To me ANY true Range Rover, as in the RR Classic, RR P38, RR L322 or RR L405, IS A RANGE ROVER.

Anything else is just a wannabe!

It was the same in the early D3 days the cars to posh can't be modded etcetera the early adopters took major stick from the traditional Discovery crowd especially the DOC but we carried on it was a tad easier then as the G4 challenge was around so OEM parts were available it's Started with tyres for the 405 so things will slowly appear although not completed an experience day with a 405 I know what she can do new motor arrives soon rear cage and gun draw commissioned Rich nah defiinately

Oh re the L322 LR said you could not fit a winch to the TDV8 well proved them wrong

The L405 has to be on here, like the Classic, P38 and L322 do as well. Yes the forum is largely L322 just because that is what most of us are driving at the moment. But there are plenty here that have/had Classics and P38s and those are discussed, like the L405 issues are also landing on here.

The top of the range is the Classic all the way through to the L405 and the Sport and Ewok are clearly different cars, no matter how much they share with other JLR vehicles. They are aimed at different market segments than the Full Fat Range Rovers.

As for the term Full Fat, I like it and I like the idea behind it. It is the term for the nicest milk one can drink and an apt comparison to the Full Size Range Rovers as they are the nicest of the lot IMHO.

I will probably one day own a 405 although I prefer to potter around in (5.0 SC) L322s for a long long time if my income allows for that (still at least 15 years from retirement) and more and more forum members are migrating into the 405 and I think that is great and I like that they are around. We are all enthusiasts and fans for Range Rovers (mostly the ones without Sport or Ewok added) and (J)LR product fans as well (well not all of us but you catch my drift I hope) and that is what this forum is about (to me).

We even let the ex Range Rover lot hang around and don't give them too much abuse no matter what horrible choices they made after ditching their FFRRs (hey Mick ) because they are still FFRR fans. That is what the forum is about to me, fans of the Full Fat or Full Size Range Rovers no matter when it was built. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

For me lads the ffrr will always be the big daddy of the lot. Always loved em and always wanted one.
I really hope in a few years I will be able to move on to the l405 as it looks a lovely car, and I hope it stays a member of the ffrr forum.

Exactly! The L405 is sniffing the L322's ar$e. Tells you all you need to know.  Si. <This is my name.
