Here are a few observations from the new brochure:
Timed climate can flush the air in the cabin - very useful on a hot day. I wonder if Pete's GSM remote can activate that.
A couple of interesting accessories that I haven't seen any mention of before:
- Daytime Running Lamps (VPLAV0066): Two arrays of 4 LED lamps integrated into front bumper
I was at a LRE last week and the instructor made an interesting observation - paddle shift could be a bit of a pain when you're off-roading if they turn with the wheel.D4 HSE, Active Rear Diff, surround cameras, adaptive xenons, heated steering wheel, TPMS, remote park heating, centre console cooler box

LR have a real problem with the new D4 publicity. If I ask for a brochure on line, I get the message that the website is temporarily out of order as soon as I've completed my details. It's been doing that for a month now. I rang up two weeks ago and asked for a brochure and was told that I would have it in 3-5 working days. Now two weeks later, I get a letter telling me that the information that I requested is unavailable .............. and to log on to the website for the online brochure.
They don't get it do they. The online brochure refers to D4 MY11.
I've just called the LR Admin number and I'm told that it's an IT problem and is being fixed. It appears that they might need to IT asisstance from outside if they can't fix their website in four weeks. Same with the brochure, it's an IT problem. Whe I pointed out that the brochure had been delivered to people in Kent and Scotland, there was silence for a few seconds and then ............. on with the script.
It must be me.

it can on D4, if the outside temp is above that where the FBH would kick in it justs runs the fan, no heater.
works quite well on a hot day

Yes it is bl**dy annoying really! I can only find one online picture of the interior of the 2012 model and that strangely enough came from an Irish dealer somewhere! Come on Land Rover, get the finger out....
Mind you the official website for Land Rover Ireland doesn't work at all and hasn't done for some months now..... No wonder sales are down over here.....!

Having spoken to my dealer today, these are both dealer fit as they are accessories "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" -is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" ------------is how far you take the fence with you.

Looks like i too will be waiting a while longer for the 2012 Brochure. Received a letter today thanking me for my interest and that they have run out of brochures and as soon as they are back in stock they will send one out.
Not impressed..................will probably have my car before the brochure, come on Land Rover, pull that finger out for everyone waiting, especially those that are spending a huge amount of money

I think TLO posted up something about those DRLs a while back and commented that the price was a bit crazy. Something like £500 ISTR.
