Just been looking over the pics properly Mick and she looks good.

Not sure i could get used to the new seat style though, I've got used to feeling a stitch seam in the back of my head now while driving

Looks fantastic MICK! Really wish I was in a position to worry about 10/11 VSE seats! Slumming it with my 55 lol. No seriously though great choice.Here's to a much trouble free motoring as your SC with better MPG!

Any 06MY goodies left over ?

Cheers happy ,  ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

I'm two days into owning my 2011 4.4 TDV8 after selling my SC. I was concerned I would miss the characteristics of the SC but no..the 4.4 and 8 speed box, 31mpg so far and a ride that is limo like has reassured me that I completely made the right choice. I have the Vogue seats with heated and cooled function. So far they are very comfortable but on the SC the back of the seat adjusted so it supported your shoulders, this isn't a function of my new seats.  Current MY2020

@Mick..photos soon..It doesn't look like a new car now after 4hrs on the M25 in the rain today. It's similar to yours... Black with Autobiography Design Pack, Privicy Glass, Jet interior with piano black trim. I'll post some soon..... Current MY2020

Slight niggle i have even though i have read the stuff about it in the manual , when i drive off the central door locking engages , but when i stop and park up , to get out i have to pull on the door handle twice before the door will open .

Have also went into the screen settings to see if this can be de activated ...  ====================================

Mine does that Mick, but because I wanted it to.

You should be able to access it from the steering wheel button in "Vehicle Set Up" on the menu. something like Drive Away Locking.....then click to de-select

Mine did that Mick and I did exactly what Rolo said and now doesn't lock.

I'm trying to find a setting for day running lights, preferably side lights only....anyone know?? Current MY2020

apparantly they won't have these until either next year or perhaps only on the L405

I thought mine had them when they drove it out the showroom as they were on, but it was just the sales guy being a poser with the twinkly little led's on for side lights

If you turn the lamp switch all the way round that's on auto, so they'll go on & off as it gets dark / light.

There's no way to set the LED 'signature lights' as day lights, only turning the switch to 'side lights' every time you get in. They aren't DRLs as they are not bright enough.

Ref door locks - bloody annoying I know. I'm used to BMWs that will unlock when you take the smart key out of the ignition, they unlock. Just got used to pressing the door unlock button now as I feel drive away locking is a must.

Ref pulling twice - very BMW-esque. The door locks are in fact BMW and unlike Mercedes, they require the two-pull to open. This is for safety I believe.

Ah well SWMBO'd has told me to get steps fitted as she is too small to get in the car , and here was me nearly got the jump into car seat routine down to a tee ….  ====================================

Mick, standard Land Rover steps complete with front mud flap of something different?

How about deployable steps? They do the job but I wouldn't want to drive off road with them. Current MY2020
