Many thanks for your replies.

Sorry some more daft questions.

Looking on Autotrader etc there appear to be plenty of 2013-16 D4 HSE and Landmarks available in lots of different colours, all with what appears to be the same spec. I’m hoping that will still be the case in a few months time.

I’m not bothered about buying a low mileage, immaculate 2013/4 model instead of a 2016 model car if the spec is right, but I’d obviously like to benefit from the lower road tax class of the later car, so are all 8 speed D4s the same spec engine?
Or have I got the whole road tax class thing wrong?

Is there anything else that a 2016 HSE Lux or Landmark will have that a 2014 model will not have?

Are there any 2017 model D4s about?

Oh and I wish I had the money now as Michael Calvert’s D4 Landmark in Waitomo Grey is a great looking car that I’d have snapped up in a few months time.

You will also need a set of tow bar stabiliser bolts as the D3’s cannot be removed and will not fit

On the D3 - and earlier D4s - you have the top spec sound system if there are round loud speakers in the rear pillars in the cargo hold. I think the same is true for late model D4s; there would be round speakers in the back. The front door card speaker covers should have a “Meridian Surround” label.

You should be able to verify the build time config with the VIN from TOPIx. The best system for D4 is called “Meridian Surround Sound System”, has 16 speakers, a subwoofer and 825 Watts. There is also a Meridian Audio system which is 380 Watts.

Edit: what you’re looking for is the round thing partially hidden by the seatbelt and the 3rd row seat on page 53 in this PDF https://www.landrover-me.com/Images/ebroch...261654.pdf. It is obvious also from a picture of the cargo hold - you’ll be able to see whether there is something round on the pillars or not if the tailgate is open.
