Ok the rest of the car arrived and I collected yesterday ; Fantastic

L460 D300, from a 4.4L L405 66 plate.

24 hours in , It’s a dream to drive….

I was lucky to get one, right place at the right time. Wonderfully served .

If you are on the list, really worth waiting for.

Of course no where to put your sun/driving glasses, the spaces in the door to keep essential stuff my side ,
& sweet papers her side is a minus.

Plus is the new app gives you a countdown on Adblu , no guess work, & the condition of the diesel exhaust filter.
All incoming air is filtered
Economy is good, limited mileage 20-30 miles covered, 40mpg +
Dream to drive
Very quiet
Screen info stuff needs practise but very fast.
Take off from a roundabout is faster than the L405 …. Don’t care what the figures say.
Headlights are great.


It’s black on black with added black, bear in mind my wife liked a black exterior ( anything to get permission) , I’m happy with the compromise of black leather. Won’t show the crud.
Took the paint & leather & wheel protection & GAP …..Just a big priced car & the insurance pales into insignificance.

Lovely, enjoy and please, pictures, pictures, pictures 😊

How does GAP Insurance work if the market value is greater than the original cost?

If the value is higher , I’ll be paying them

I don’t think those high values will hold… that said , I was in an expensive restaurant yesterday as a guest, Tuesday night full. So no shortage of money quite yet. Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

The best bit…….. The bonnet catch is on the drivers side. That’s a first for me ! Seat adjustment on the door. Very handy.
The filter system on the air coming in is supposed to take out a covid virus ?????) surely not!!!
anyway you can see on the graphics the particulate count go down to a 2 which is very clean air.

I hate start stop, so either it’s permanently switched off, or it’s silent.( or I am deaf)

Thanks Renaco

More pictures…. My photography is not as good as JLR

Thanks a lot, this pics shortens the long wait for mine.
Sharp design, cant get enough for the moment.
👍

Sorry to bang on but……

As mentioned black wasn’t my choice, but have grown to love it almost instantly. The black is speckled and very attractive.

JLR have been clever with the design and all the lights on the back with blackish glass just merge into the
car.

What a lovely vehicle Bill. Congrats for being in the right place at the right time and being able to get it bought. Will look forward to seeing more on the thread as you get used to it.

Thanks Ben.

Bear in mind I PX’d a 66 car so some of the ‘new things’ maybe on the My 17-My21. Just new to me.

I am astonished by the silence of the engine. I’m sure it has restart , haven’t found out where to switch it off as I normally used to, I just don’t notice it cranking… as mentioned before slightly hard of hearing especially when wifey is handing out jobs. Indicators quieter as well.

The excellent all round camera system switches in automatically when parking. No guess work needed to see if parked within the lines. I like wheel lines superimposed on the reverse camera, now on the front one as I pull forward. Turning in my drive is significantly different with four wheel steering.

Tip : u all know I didn’t spec this car, but it came with 23” wheels.( I probably would of gone down that route. )

The ride on a motorway/ good road is fantastic. In essex we have London clay contracting and expanding and this summer some really major essex roads are seriously very cruddy.
The car is fine & can handle the huge dips , depressions and being off balance….. but low profile tyres may not be the wisest choice. Throws us around the car a bit & harsh jolts and that’s not at a huge speed.(40mph)
Still seeking to see if there is a setting. Maybe worth a spec change. Certainly investigate if you have back issues. I will anyway just slow down on the three roads in this state that I frequently use .

Can’t wait for a French trip on decent roads….. I don’t need 145 mph or do I?

Just got back from 2,000 miles in France (L405 not the new model),and I can tell you that the MHEW D300 engine is a dream, quiet, smooth and quick. MPG was good too. The car said average 38mpg but the app (which is the truth!!) said just over 34mpg. A lot of non-mway driving.  All LR cars from 1984
2021.5 Vogue SE D300 Carpathian Grey
2018 Vogue SE British Racing Green GONE

Everything in this car is almost silent. Even the auto boot closing….just glides.

Nothing to do with my hearing, SWMBO mentioned the quieter engine , and she can hear my opening a crisp packet at 100 m! Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits.
