To correct my post above, done a bit more literature digging, in May 2007, the electronic rear diff was a £446 option, but was standard fit on the Supercharged..........

...........can't find more specific infor for the 2005 models though, but they did at least have an electronic centre diff............. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I also stopped off at another main dealer today on my way back who were really helpful and, he ran a check on all the times it had been in to a main dealer.

Interesting that - I've called up a number of dealers as well as LR head office in search of the same details and have been told each time that there is no central database so they are not able to check this and can only verify if the vehicle was sold or serviced by them.

Maybe its "different" if you visit in person so that they can see that you do actually own/are driving the vehicle ... hmmm ...  African Bush Junkie ... in London!

Stats:
2006 TD6 Vogue SE
1972-2015 DeRanged Rover
2001 P38 dHSE (SOLD)

That's what each dealer told me when I was researching my previous purchases, that they could only see and tell me what work they had done.

LR customer service weren't a lot of help in this respect either, but were good for providing the spec of a car if you gave them the VIN number. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Yes, there is a central database but, it is not always that accurate and can take some digging around. Having said that, this chap simply went onto the Vin Nos "recall record" (basically any time it came in to the dealer network for repair/service) and it came straight up.

That's how he was even able to see the notes from when it had the replacement engine at a different group dealership. Aerodynamics are for those who cannot build engines - Enzo Ferrari
