7 Days of Landmark ownership, **Update** 28/03/17
Ok,
Had the new D4 for 7 days now and overall I am really impressed, however.....
Mis-fueling device, I used to be able to fill the D3 to the brim which was really useful for MPG calculations and had the benefit of getting from 1 end of the country to the other without filling up again, so far I am only getting 400 odd miles to the tank and cant seem to fill it up due to pump clicking off, can the mis-fuelling device be removed?
Rear wiper, does anyone else's move really slowly? mine looks painfully slow, was told at dealers that D4's are slower but would be interested to hear from others.
Thanks in advance,

Yes the miss fuel device, the fuel nozzle opens the flap for you, I fill mine till it clicks, then at about half speed till it clicks again. You can dribble it in but it takes forever only to get another couple cup fulls in.
You can use the supplied funnel but Then you have diesel on it, bit of a faff for little if any gain.
Rear wiper seems normal on mine.

Is yours new? Give it some time and it will get 460/480 to a tank, mine did. Never stopped at the first click, got a good amount in after that - the clicking is nothing to do with missfueling as I understand it.
Can't say I've noticed a slower rear wiper in the last 4 discos...Mike

My MY16 D4 rear wiper definitely had a slower wipe that my old D3, thought it was my imagination until I tried it next to the D3 (my neice has it now) Seems almost lazy compared

I can't comment on the fuel issue, except yes mine is full at 72 litres from empty, my D3 could squeeze 82 in!
Rear wiper is slower, but if you plug a voltmeter into the accessory socket, you will notice that the D4 volts can be pretty low for a couple of minutes after starting, especially if the heated screen and rear screen come on (automatic below 4 degrees on the D4) and your using heated seats etc.
Mine is very slow to wipe it's on a cold start. But when the volts have recovered to (15.3v in cold weather) the rear wiper is a bit quicker. Still slower than the D3. It's also lost the automatic switch to constant operation at higher speed in heavy rain.

The Auto cut off at pumps can vary a lot between petrol stations. When I worked for LR we had a report from a dealer to say a customer was complaining he could only get a small amount of fuel in his tank and they could find nothing wrong. It turned out he only used one local garage and it was the nozzle that was faulty, cutting off too early..

Isn't the tank slightly smaller to accommodate the Ad Blue tank?...Mine hasn't but always reads around 400 when full which in thread somewhere it was mentioned that it's not calibrated correctly but i can live with it as my dealer wasn't interested....

That's why I've not noticed it.

Why? As said all D4s 2012 on have a slower rear wiper. Probably changed the component supplier on the motor. Don't waste your time to be told that's how it is.

No, all D4s have a smaller tank than D3s adblue or not. The D4 has a different design of tank to the D3
