Thanks Graeme, yes it’s the rear belt I was thinking of. The previous vehicles had the option of body off. The L405 & L494 look to have slightly shorter bonnets and more angled windscreens. Maybe it’s not so.

Yes, the 4.4 has a couple of design issues. And tdv6 possible build issues. The 4.4 still seems the pick.

Who knows. I’ll probably keep the 3.6 as it’s such a cheap car from depreciation perspective, and still the best car I’ve owned. At 282k km it’s probably hit rock bottom value wise. My 3.6 is such a nice motor. ______________________________

\sorry missed earlier requeest of info.....

I have a 2013 VSE on 84000 miles and its running like a dream.

It has stop/start, and things like:

Double locking + soft close doors
Adaptive Cruise (might be standard on VSE)
Split screen with extra headphones
Sliding Pano roof
Garage door opener
22" Turbines

Just did discs and pads and tyres all round, and they were last done at 40k I think.

Tbh if I didnt just fancy the later screen and the S/C performance then I'd not change a thing!! all smug in my new plug!
