MY 2006 Disco

Is there a definitive list anywhere of changes made for the 2006 model year Disco?

Anyone know when build starts to 2006 spec? I'm about to order a D3 and would hate to miss a trick.

Land Rover web site

Check the Land Rover Web site and build your vehicle.

http://www.landrover.com/gb/en/Vehicles/overview.htm

Beware though that the site is not in sync.

Good example is the spare wheel - in one place it says Alloy full size spare is included and yet in the Build Your Vehicle price list (assume this is for 2006) it comes as a £120 (inc vat) extra up to but excluding the HSE!

I've had a look through the 'build your own LR' on that site and I have to say that I'm worried!

It looks like they are not offering the base Disco 3 in 7 seat version at all.

I hope this is a minor error, otherwise I'm off to find a dealer demonstrator pronto.

I'm not too impressed with the general price increases from the quick look that I've had.
The met paint seems to have increased, and they're now charging for the spare alloy.

I hope this is just a minor cock up on the site!

Any new order calls are now for 2006 models. No substantial "changes" -- most of the slight changes already happened mid-MY2005 (official addition of PTI/Bluetooth, Adriatc Blue replaced with Buckingham Blue, etc.)

The Base 7 Seat model can be orderd by configuring the 5 seat version.

Confusing?

Yeah, but if you use a base 5 seater you lose the air suspension.....

Not if you select the 7 seat option when buidling from the base 5 seat, it then automatically includes TR and air-suspension.

5 seats!

Can anyone explain why you can't have the air suspension without 7 seats.

There must be other people, like me, who have no need for 7 seats!

For the difference certainly get the air and not the springs. Resale, must be better.
