What is the MY08 Spec?

I am new to the foru.

Could I ask what are the changes to the MY08 spec for Australia?

Also interested if anyone has fitted one of the new range of after market Sat nav/rear camera/etc double din units such as Solaris etc that are available these days.

Thank you.

Looks like it's taking a while for our Aussie friends to wake up......

FY08 sees 'rouched' leather & no rear aircon on HSE's Don't think there was much difference other than that from the MY07 ones.

There's a couple of recent buyers on the forum from Aus, so hopefully they'll post soon. And welcome tothe forum

Be aware though that the spec varies greatly sometimes depending on where in the world you are.

The LR web site should be up to date though, and so should your dealer.

LR web site - the price list and configurator are hopelessly out of date.

Not sure of new specs. Check with a stealer would be the easy way to find out. I know the CANBUS system has changed (should sort some of the spurious faults as there are no modules piggybacked anymore)
They have also done somethiing to the spare wheel well as the Long Range tank won't fit the MY08.

I can have a look if you have a query about the 08 MY

Guys, we are picking up our MY08 SE tomorrow. When we were purchasing, the sales guys didnt mention anything about differences between the model years, but then they are just interested in the $#'s.

If there is anything in particular you want me to look at, just let me know.......

Also, the audio place (freeway car audio) who does the ULR/MLR cars is upgrading the speakers for me and putting in a bit of matting. So, contrary to some other threads I saw on here there are options for upgrading the stereo.......... Picked up my new MY08 Stornaway TDV6 SE late Feb. FULLY STOKED! Thanks in advance for all the advice/tips you guys have shared on here!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can tell you that @#$ sinking driver's seat is still there

I have to pull the lever to raise it every 20 minutes or so. Must have pumped that lever a few hundred times since purchasing the car less than 2 months ago.

Oh, and the wipers still shudders and squeaks.

Cheers

Dealer should fix both, make sure they replace with the new part No.

MY08 Spec

Our MY08 spec was delivered mid Oct. The dealer was not able to say what defferences ther were, but one obvious difference is the deletion of the button to disable the reversing sensors. Also I believe there is some difference in the stereo sytem, although nothing that can be seen. There does not appear to be any visual difference to anything else.

Stereo air-con and hazard facia are black not grey.

If the rear Air Con has been deleted from HSE's I would expect to see the cost reduce accordingly - the inclusion of Air Con was one major reason for getting mine.....if its an extra you have to specially order, wait foe it & pay more + not get anything back when you sell or trade in......I just hope the spec does include this for when I eventually change my car.

The rouched leather is a cosmetic change....the air con is a feature that can be & is used on my car. BREXIT - done properly.
