Well got in touch with the dealer who said yes you can use the 7 day free insurance and gave me the phone number and dealer code needed to ring Aviva who provide the cover.
Rang them this morning and 'Kevin' in Mumbai or where ever says there isn't a Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 on the computer therefore it doesn't exist, they only have the TDV6 so they can't provide the free 7 day cover . Annoying thing was I had to spell everything and I mean everything. He said to me "and how are you spelling Land Rover" slightly annoyed by now I replied the same way as everyone else on the planet!
Salesman is trying to sort it out now.
Deep breath and relax

Well I've had the car a couple of days and can't get the smile off my face when driving it Finding myself making excuses to go out for a drive I had a Nissan Pathfinder before this which at the time I thought was a really nice car but after having driven this for a few days the Pathfinder seemed very tractor like in comparison
Managed to get a few photos of it today

I love the colour also I nearly asked the dealer if I could change colour just after I had ordered it but I'm glad I didn't now.
promitheus the interior is Ebony, I'll try and get some shots up in the next day or two.
Just fitted my RLD spare wheel protector and have ordered a RLD sump gaurd in black so hopefully that should be here some time next week.
