Hi all.

I am specing up a 4.4 autobiography and wonder if I could pick the collective brain here please.

I'm using the configurator and having selected a fixed body coloured sun roof, when I try to select Ebony/Pimento interior it tells me I have to change to a ivory non leather headlining and charges £510 for the privileged! Then when I select an ivory headlining in leather it insists that I have an opening sunroof in contrasting paint!!! Are these just glitches?

Also I don't seem to be able to add home link without it deleting Traffic Sign Recognition with Lane Departure Warning and Wade Sensing?

Don't know about the roof but with the Homelink you can't have the Traffic Sign Recognition etc. because they're both supposed to be accommodated inside the centre mirror, so you have to choose.

Thank you

Leather headlining is not available with fixed panoramic roof. Don't know why but I had the same battle!

Oh so its correct! Really odd.

And is the configurator correct when it says you have to have a contrasting paint roof too ?

That part isn't true. I have a Santorini roof on my Corris and ivory leather headlining but should be available with all roof configurations.

The headlining colours are, however, each restricted to certain colourways.

Thanks for that but my problem is that it insists that I have a contrast paint roof, which I don't want, when I select a leather head lining! (as well as insisting I have an opening roof)

I went to the dealers again on Monday and by a bit of gigery pokery on their configerator you can have leather head lining without a contrast roof but you do have to have an opening roof.

What's not to like with the opening roof? I'd personally hate to have a glass roof that couldn't be opened.

Not really a problem but I never open a sun roof and there is no chance of leakage or wind noise from a sealed one. With the L405 the opening roof has a big bar across the centre whereas the sealed one has no such obstruction and looks a lot better IMHO.

Also, remember that Land Rovers don't have a good rep for sunroofs when the vehicles get old. Here, non-sunroof D1s are very rare and worth a premium over their very leaky higher doc models.

Just crank up the AC and you're sorted.

Yes I agree 100% but I really want a leather head lining and you cant have one unless you have an opening sunroof!
