Not sure it is. Was only available on the newer 8 speed boxes

But again, why?

Its not a huge improvement over the lever, essentially its just a gimmick.

If its for the flappy paddles, these can be retro-fitted to cars without the rotary knob My D3 Build Thread

If anybody knows how to reverse it I'll be in the market for an 8 Speed D4 again, knob is useless! Mark

Oh how I wish we had the lever out of the RRS. I hate the rotary knob! Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Blessed with a proper knob, I think having a rotary knob would be akin to sitting in the drivers seat without a steering wheel in front of you. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I am calling bull Censored on pics

is the clock relocation also part of mod ?
why would they not use actual pics of same car....?

I guess some ppl might want if they are doing the whole D3 to D4 conversion It is better to have and not need it then need and not have it.

I'm used to the dial. Just remember to move your coffee cup out of the way before you switch on. Embarassed
