Don’t drive pedal to the metal or crawl. Mine is clearly optimized to drive longer distances with only one acceleration sequence at the beginning of the trip and at speeds exceeding 80 km/h. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

That's a pretty daunting list! I wonder if I can get my deposit back Laughing

Thanks, though. A great list to keep in mind and given me a few things to talk to the dealer about.

It is a long list but forewarned is forearmed.

I love it and for what I need there isn't anything else that can do it and be comfortable.

You say that the seller is fitting a new windscreen, make sure it is not a cheap Chinese version - see the many posts on here about replacing windscreens. It needs to be marked Landrover or Pilkington if you don’t want problems

It's a reputable dealer so I'd hope they're doing a proper job! I'll check, though..

http://www.timfrylandrovers.co.uk/ is the dealer.

Keep it the way it is , it's a modern Classic now. I am thinking of putting my old grille back on mine LOL. I don't like the steps, but if you put them on get all black sides steps they will look better than silver ones.

Hadn't thought about that but will certainly look into it. Will drive it for a few weeks at least first so that I can feel the difference if and when I get it done.

I didn't get it to be fuel efficient but anything that can make it more so would be great. My daily commute is 36 mile round trip half M5 half country lanes.

Assuming there are a few different remapping options.

www.cam-tech-landrover.co.uk isn't far from me so will give them a call to discuss.

I reckon if you work on 25mpg you wont be far out.
Dash mpg gauge over reads by roughly 10 percent.

I certainly love the way it looks so any modifications will be minor.

I've heard that the side steps are really good for protecting your doors in the car parks! A little paranoid about door dents since my A4 picked up a couple.
