I'm GLad that they've put the TR further forward as it's currently a bit dodgy if you need to hit the HDC button (on or off) at least this gets it further forward so you can see it when you need to (queue the hoardes of people to tell me that I should have selected the right mode in the first place )
Anyway, extra bling it may be, but I'm def going to get one as my next car when it's due for change Bodsys Brake Bible

really dont like the seats at least now you feel like you could eject if you had too. It looks like a saloon. Diluted the feel of the brand. I think its a mistake. Besides which they have sold so many D3's that they will p..s off all the D3 owners who now have a sense of smug superiority over all previous model landrover owners.

Should be same place as the Disco3. Ideal to get stolen or have land rover worked on a more secure idea for the D4If it ain't got 4 wheels, Don't Bother.

Surely they are not going the way of a "Space Saver" spare!

I think even with the D3 the full size spare is an option, space-saver standard...? Either way, a no-brainer! It looks like the hardware is in place to hold it in the back as with the D3, just no wheel installed in that demo.

Oz has never had a spacesaver on any model and i don't think they ever will.

Thanks for all the pictures CY et al.
You could have saved me a lot of money. I was day-dreaming about an HSE D4**, but I could not live with that transatlantic interior. Might be less Doris Day movie in the black, but YUCH!
