Hi All,
After a long absence (just busy with work and farm) I'm back!
The "old" L322 has been great for the last 7 years, but I fancied a change...

Wow, wish i was in a position to do that!

Congratulations

Thanks. Have saved a bit, had some good years and some lean ones over last 7 years - but decided that now is as good a time as any.
If the L405 is as good as my L322 has been - I'll be a very happy man.
Cost of ownership of my existing FFRR has been good - since it gets used off road and on - tows, gets mucky - and then acts as a limo...
Can't really complain.

Spen King I salute you...  Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 - L405 (now sadly sold)

Going through that process my self but mine is only 4 years old. Why the wait to November, what sort af a deal were you able to do letters not necessarily in the right order

Upgrade the stereo and lose the HUD. Adaptive headlights are amazing.

I was exactly where you are a couple of months ago. My 7 year old L322 is currently on Autotrader (for a lot more than I sold it for, but there you go!)

Your spec looks great. I would agree that it's worth getting the top of the range Meridian system if you can stretch for it. I also have the parallel parking feature but after watching a video of it on youtube where it looks quite brutal, I've never used it. There are so many cameras on the car, that it's almost a pleasure parking it into a tight place.

I wish mine had the traffic sign recognition - I'm always wondering what the speed limit is and if the car can pick that up when I miss it, then great.

The electric deployable tow bar is also a fantastic option - I love it.

I never thought I would need the blind spot warning, but it is comforting to know it's there. It's not too obtrusive either.

Exciting - bet you can't wait! 2024 Range Rover P550e AB

Wade sensing?? Do think that will get much use?

Not jealous or anything....

Honest answer is no I can't wait! 😳
I'm embarrassed to say that on this particular matter I'm like a 12-year-old kid trapped in a 53-year-olds body!
Very excited...
Regards the top of the range Merdian system is that the one with 17 speakers?
I tried the parallel park and perpendicular park in a demo vehicle on a factory day.
Was very impressed, but also means that someone else (mentioning no names) may decide she can park it too... if she gets to drive it!!
Traffic sign recognition because I've been caught out a few times missing signs - especially the ones that used to be National speed limit applies - now down to 40 mph and the 40mph to 30mph changes that seem to be everywhere... not sure if it works, but if it helps prevent points etc...
Electric deployable towbar just beats having to crawl under... getting older and creakier these days, so when I saw just how well the electric one worked - it was a no brainer.

Heads up display v. privacy glass. Seems we can't have both. I went for the privacy glass. Current:

Hmm that's odd. My order confirmation has both listed..


We'll see what we get.. Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 - L405 (now sadly sold)

Long story - but don't believe what the configurator tells you... It's not that accurate..
Just noticed that this revers to Solar Glass - that and Privacy Glass was already ordered - so seems to work together.
The only accurate way is from Vista (the dealer system) - that shows they are able to be ordered together...

Many thanks. Will double check with the dealer. Hopefully I'm not to late to fix. Sure mine is still in 10000 bits on the factory floor. Current:
