She is finally here!
I finally took delivery of my brand new Orkney Grey MY13 Discovery 4 TDV6 SE with a lot of extras. Dealer drove it to Helsinki from 500 km away. Have been a great joy to drive her today as it is snowing a LOT in here I really love the ride! Only thing that is bothering me is that my front park aid is not working. I opted it and it is printed in all documents. Have to call my dealer tomorrow and ask if it is missing.

You may find that the front PDC only works on pressing the dash button - or after you havre engaged reverse

As above, they did spoil the logic for the D4 PDC compared to the D3.
Seems mad that you have to turn the front PDC on to use it yet they force the front and rear screen heaters on for each and every cold weather start.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Thank you all!
I was really sad for letting my BMW MY11 520D go today - i really loved it. But when I got in my new D4 I was all What a car!

Not on mine, it was always on at very low speed or stopped in traffic. It also meant that a release of airbrakes from traffic in front would trigger a PDC bleep.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Manoeuvring on my drive after picking it up last week prompted a similar response. Funny what you get dependant on.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
