"The new, water-cooled, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR), important for reducing pumping losses and emissions of NOX in a diesel engine, is more efficient and consumes less power than its predecessor, with the valves allowing exhaust gas into the system being located on the ‘hot side’ of the engine nearest the exhaust manifolds. These valves never cool while the engine is running, so there is no condensation of combustion deposits which occurs on engines fitted with ‘cold side’ valves, hence the EGR system always works at maximum efficiency. Since the EGR cooling is so effective, exhaust gasses can bypass the system and return to the exhaust pipes, allowing faster engine warm-up from start-up and reducing emissions still further"
Should hopefully sort out that problem then G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

"To help engine warm-up in colder conditions, the LR-TDV6 3.0 litre can be pre-heated, either by using a one-day timer, programmable via the infotainment screen, or activated using the remote control key fob. Once the engine is up to temperature, any residual heat is channelled into the cabin for enhanced occupant comfort on entry into the vehicle"

The Discovery 4 certainly looks a winner. There is nothing that doesn't seem like a good idea to add to an already superb vehicle.
Well done to the team that put the package together.
Now if the price for Australian delivered models can be as attractive as the overall package seems...LeighW

GraemeS - I did find this info about wheels in their handout...
"A new, twin seven-spoke 19" wheel design is introduced on the Discovery 4 to
complement the existing 7-spoke 19" wheel and, for the first time, a new striking,
10-spoke 20" wheel is available as a factory-fit option."
The same article makes no mention of the 18 let alone the 17" wheels so your assumption may be correct.
This is one of the new wheels.
