Nah, was thinking about DG. Well they have had the odd bit of drizzle in Surrey, so I've been told. Fitting a RAI for DG wouldn't be coz he wouldn't take the Clean Machine in the mud.

Cheers chaps
No cleaning yet Del
After 3 weeks of driving a 2012my the main differences visible are obviously the new HSE wheels ...and the infotainment ...the screen responds instantly to touch ....sat nav map is much clearer and there are subtle but beneficial changes to the settings layout

So is it worth the stack of money you have undoubtably paid out to change up to a D4 then Rich?
I've done the sums and my 57 plate D3 could be replaced if I so wished but its tricky when I look at the fact it costing me a big fat NOTHING to drive at the mo (apart from ANOTHER wheel bearing replacement in January )Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Really not sure about the new HSE wheels so I hope they look better in the flesh - guess I will find out in a few weeks!
Glad the infotainment is more responsive than previously - is the nav any quicker at routing/re-routing?

Steve it's not really cost me anything to change as there was so much "free" equity in the last one due to my buy \ sell timing it made the purchase deal a no brainer tbh
Robbie the wheels are far nicer looking than the 12MY HSE demo I've just handed them back. Maybe it is just the angle of the photo that doesnt do them justice
As for colour ...my wife hates it ...some others hate it ...I love it 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
