Got one at last!
Well after a long brake from Discovery ownership I have agreed a deal on a new Landmark and am picking her up late next week or early the week after.
She is a fairly standard one with Privacy glass and in Waitomo Grey but I have already purchased a set of side steps, front and rear mud flaps and side strips with the bright inserts.
Looking for one of the posh rear bumper tread plates across the top of the bumper and see them on eBay for £95 - anyone bought one and if so what they like?
Can't wait to get her "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" -is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" ------------is how far you take the fence with you.

Been ordering some bits for the new D4 - OEM rear bumper trim in stainless with the rubber bits in, OEM side steps, OEM side mouldings with bright inserts, OEM front and rear mud flaps and OEM tow bar and 13 pin electrics so when she arrives I have a busy few days ahead of me lol
Thinking of upgrading the rotary gear selector and paddle shifts for the red aluminium ones - anyone fitted these and is it an easy job "UNDERSTEER" ---is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

iPod lead is the standard USB lead, you don't need the 'special' lead anymore

Got a lightly used stainless steel LR tread plate. Might be tempted to sell it.
