I was thinking of a witty answer...................................

"Of course you can, or perhaps not, well perhaps a quick spin, or that may be too risky, but perhaps we could make an exception, but then again, Oh I'm not sure."

On a serious note, you're welcome to come and have a spin (just not for a week I'm affraid!).

How long until this is for sale as ex-demo, and what colour combo is it?

We will have to keep it for 90 days, so just after Christmas (providing we have a replacement) with around 2,000 miles.

Second thoughts, after reading the spec, I'm staying well away....

Thanks for the offer James...

The first 4.4 was delivered today as I had to wait for my RR at the dealer. Bournville with sand interior but the roof lining was black ...looked kind of strange...
Also the middle console without the shift knob looked kind of empty is it just me??? well maybe one has to get used to it
Otherwise

Hello James,
I'm looking to buy a new LHD 2011 Range Rover and still not sure about a SC or the new 4.4 TDV8.
I have driven the 5L SC and like the refinement and quietness of this car (I hate the diesel sound which is quite prominent at idle on the 3.6 TDV8).
But I'm worried about DPF (Diesel Particle Filter) which is standard on the new TDV8 and which has given its share of problems with people having to drive 40 miles or so at constant revs to clear the DPF when you haven't done long distances for a while.
As I'm doing a lot of local driving and only once in a while a longer distance on the motorway, do you think it would be a problem with the new 4.4 TDV8 and do I risk clogging up the DPF?
Or has the DPF problem been sorted on the new 4.4 TDV8?
I've launched a topic on this but not many owners seem to have a DPF on their car.
Do you supply LHD vehicles?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

never had a problem with a DPF - and none of my friends have either - the only people who seem to have a problem are those that drive like a pussy!

use it to burn a few Supercharged 4.2's and you won't have a problem!

no but a remapped JE 4.4 might

A JE 4.4 I suspect might also have no DPF's! 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

you could be right Tim, I suppose it could depend if they will do a Stage 1 and a Stage 2.

CSK,

In answer to your question, we have been told that ALL 11my vehicles (i.e. D4, RRS & FL2 included) have revised software which changes the specific 'regeneration' requirements. Touch wood we have not had any DPF issues with 11my vehicles to date.

If you are on the fence with regard to DPF and the jury is out over over tickover noise then I would suggest going along the 5.0SC route. If it was one of the two concerns in issolation then a drive in one would tip you in one direction or another.

If we were closer to S France then you'd be welcome to come in for a drive.
