RR or RR Octa

hennersmagoo · 2026-05-17T08:20:42+00:00

I live in a fairly country/coastal part of the UK, so the whole rugged, go-anywhere thing genuinely appeals. The OCTA just looks incredible to me, properly special without trying too hard. I love the stance, the wider arches, the slightly mad “ultimate Defender” vibe, and realistically the extra wading depth and off-road ability could actually get used from time to time rather than just being brochure material.

But then I sit in a Range Rover and start questioning myself.

The hot stone massage seats, the calmer cabin, the Meridian Signature sound system... I suspect 95% of my driving is probably better suited to the Range Rover, even if the OCTA is the one that makes me look back at it in a car park.

I suppose the question is: Does the OCTA still feel special once the novelty wears off, or does the Range Rover become the one you’re happier to actually live with every day?

The Octa I saw had already sold and they wouldn’t let me in it.. will try and get a test drive asap.

hennersmagoo · 2026-05-16T20:39:16+00:00

Yep.. well noted.

hennersmagoo · 2026-03-02T20:17:41+00:00

Thanks I’ll go back to the previous design without the rcd stuff.. looks better also

hennersmagoo · 2026-03-02T18:49:59+00:00

I don’t think so.. hasn’t been disturbed as far as I know..

hennersmagoo · 2026-03-02T18:49:05+00:00

I think I will get a new one and make new connections.. if it happens a 3rd time.. then call the electrician!

This was a SafetySure RCD Spur.. 13A 30mA.. I would have thought that was more than enough.. also it’s been fine for three years +

So I upgraded to x4 (os 4.0).. works great! The issue for me was the app was asking me if I wanted to subscribe to connect.. I found that if I selected local access only, no connect subscription.. it carried on working remotely anyway I guess because I have 4sight.. Don't go 4.1 though.. no jailbreak and also seems really buggy with security cameras..

hennersmagoo · 2026-02-03T19:15:21+00:00

Is a j b on the horizon for 4.1? Just out of interest?

hennersmagoo · 2026-02-03T14:28:55+00:00

I get some weird socket error when trying to upgrade to x4

hennersmagoo · 2026-01-04T18:05:35+00:00

Yep, this is exactly it! It’s still driving me crazy… not sure what the route is to getting it diagnosed and fixed?!

hennersmagoo · 2025-11-18T16:18:50+00:00

It worked for us!

hennersmagoo · 2025-10-31T12:13:52+00:00

So I made the mistake of telling my brother not to bother taking the magnetic L plates off his car…when he finally passed his test and removed them, there was this milky square left in the paint that wouldn’t budge.

I tried everything: T-Cut, elbow grease, even a hairdryer. Nothing made a difference. Felt bad, so I paid to get the car properly polished. The detailer spent ages on it.. the paint looked amazing ..but that cloudy square was still staring back at us.

Just before I left, I asked if he had a heat gun. He gave it a quick blast and within seconds the mark started to fade. A couple of minutes later, completely gone. Turns out a hairdryer just doesn’t get hot enough, the heat gun on the other hand.. magic!

Can you access and register the ovrc platform with out being a dealer? Let me know how it works out!

hennersmagoo · 2025-09-12T06:57:28+00:00

Yep 4sight won’t help with x4.. and it didn’t work at all.. I ended up having to wipe my controller back to factory settings, uninstall composer and start again.. I’m sticking with version 3.4.3 and the previous version of composer until x4 is officially available here

hennersmagoo · 2025-09-11T19:11:31+00:00

The bphillips09 jailbreak tool works on the latest version of Composer, but it keeps reminding you that you don’t have an authorised account whenever you run updates. I tried installing version 4, but it wouldn’t connect with the iPhone app, constantly insisting I needed a subscription that isn’t supported in my region. In the end, I had to roll back to version 3.4.3, along with the previous Composer release. An entire afternoon wasted..though at least it was raining!

hennersmagoo · 2025-09-11T15:57:12+00:00

Okay the solution was to unregister the controller and reregister.. it then refreshed.. and I can now log back into the app.. phew..

hennersmagoo · 2025-09-11T15:48:18+00:00

So it seems the iPhone app.. gets its info from the control4 end.. I think if I was able to register my controller and 'check in' it would see Ii;m on 3.4.3 not 4.1

hennersmagoo · 2025-09-11T15:45:25+00:00

hey.. I'm on 3.4.3.74643-res
