Picking up a New FFRR

Hello all,
Just about to pick up a new FFRR TDV8 Vogue! Very Happy

Without wanting to sound like a muppet, i have not purchased a new car for a long time, and having heard problematic stories from others, is there anything i should be keeping an eye out for. I assume it will be a hand over of paperwork and i'll be off. But for example, how many keys should there be with a new Range Rover? 2?3? Do they have the wallet/Courtesy keys that other makes have?
Sorry to be a pain asking what are silly questions but trying to avoid chasing a dealer in the days to come with anything i have missed.

Thanks in advance...

Congrats on your new arrival ! Thumbs Up

2 keys with the car. You only get 1 pre-heater remote though for some reason.

I'm sure the dealer will take care of you, or you would hope they would !

I would just check for any marks / scratches, particularly around drivers seat / wheels etc. Just in case one of the workshop staff have marked it without realising. Nothing worse than having to go back & prove you didn't do it after driving away.

I would make sure they go through it thoroughly with you and check all electrical things work. If you have rear dvd's, just make sure the remote is working correctly etc.

& then Enjoy Razz

Check the mileage and that the fuel tank's full.

Take the contents of an ash tray and while no one is looking dump it in the RR's. Then ask for lots of money back for smoking in your new car.

So got the car last night, all fantastic - very impressed with the drive, makes the wife's RRS 2.7TDV6 feel agricultural by comparison. Lots of toys i have no idea how to use. I will spend the next few days trying to figure it out whilst i am in stuck in traffic! Anyway only 1 photo i'm afraid, below from a phone - apologies for quality - will try to get more when i have a chance and in daylight.

EDIT: Tried uploading image/photo but to no avail - any pointers?
