Not liking this bit

Does this mean you can no longer intentionally blind the annoying twonks who never turn their full beam off when driving towards other vehicles, LR now deny you the opportunity for revenge I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Damn....as much as I was trying to disklike the D4 and what it stood for (posh, painted and too fussy), everytime I see it I like it more...especially after seeing xtc's pics with the MT/R's and winch on the LRE vehicles.

the controls for the Terrain Response system are located in a much more accessible position below the stereo.
Yep - they were so innaccesible when they were right under your hand and you didn't need to look down to find them

I had crawl over a d4 yesterday.
I like the interior, it is very classy. However, it has lost a lot of its storage areas. The handy shelf under the sat nav screen has gone, its now a shiny piece of curved plastic. No longer will you be able to put your phone on there! There is a new hole on the passenger side of the console, but not big enough for my phone. The only place to put it will be in front of the passenger, on the shelf over the top glovebox.
The rear lights look a bit odd at first, but I'm sure they will become more acceptable in time.
Its also lost its dipstick, Oil is monitored and checked in the message centre.

Yep agree Heine.
When I was losing a lot of coolant recently, it just dawned on me that at no time did the Low Coolant warning message come on.
The coolant loss was that bad it put the engine in limp home mode [the first time I realised I had a coolant problem].
Now, if that were oil ....... don't even think about it!!!...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
