Hi guys - been wondering as i am looking at buying a 2012 LR4 HSE. Can you explain the difference between the two gear boxes (the stick/rotating knob) ?
Thanks in advance.

Seems strange. 8 speed box came in with MY2012, I have a D4 registered in Dec 2011 and its 8 speed. So maybe that car was registered later, slightly odd. MY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff

Remember changes to overseas markets don't always happen at the same time as here.
