I've just put them in an excel sheet to add to now that I have three months to wait!
Delivery date 8th March 2007! This is worse than waiting for the kids to arrive. At least then the only pain (for me!) was from SWMBO's fingernails in my hand! Bodsys Brake Bible

Used to have a garden centre nearby called Mould & Bloomer ..
I intend to pick up my keys, get in & drive off..... Should take no more than 5 mins.
Then I'll read the book & try it all out with an instructor at the LR off road site !

Why so long?
Have you requested very unusual spec, 07 plate or just this is how long it takes???
Shall I order mine already as I would hope to get it more or less in early spring...

I ordered mine last week, I took a Java Black/Black interior as my other choice Java Black/Alpaca interior would have been a factory order and been delivered around March. Seems that the factory is only making certain colour combos for stock, others require factory order...
I guess it depends on the dealers to place varied stock orders.

hijack - get the order in.....
I went with stornoway & alpaca - ordered about a week ago - and been given a date of late March, with best case projection for it coming in mid-March. They had stock of a stornoway/alpaca with factory privacy and suggested dealer fit PTI & towpack - but I've gotta wait till march cos the D2 contract runs till then.
just counting down the days.... 2007 TDV6SE Auto Stornoway Grey - now sold...

Originally was scheduled for Feb, but when the order finally went in, came back with the delivery date of 8th March. HSE spec with Dealer fit fixed Towpack & Electrics. Originally wanted to use the LR slot on Bike rack, but now having seen some of the other racks holding 3 or 4 bikes from members of the site, am wishing I'd had the removable towbar......
Maybe it's still not too late to change, but i don't want to give any reason for anyone to delay the delivery further! Bodsys Brake Bible

Actually, I remember why...... They'd quoted me 20th Feb, so I said I'd wait til March to get the 07 Reg. No point in devaluing it any further than need be for the sake of a couple of weeks! Bodsys Brake Bible

Looks like I need to start negotiating with local dealers
Will not make it this side of Xmass, but will start the campaign in Jan
Pity Lakeland Land Rover are so far away, apparently they offer good deals ...

Dont Forget to check for? |

The Quick release Hitch and locking key and the flat tire tool kit, In a 7 seater it should be on the left side wall cubby, or a 5 seater under the storage bin, also the tools will be on the opposite side on the 7 seater. I can not tell you how important it is along with all the other great things mentioned. If its missing demand one if not it will cost A LOT. over 500USD.
