New Toy
Afternoon,
I'm a new joiner having just moved on from my TD5 to a 12 month old SDV6. Piccys of both below. Just added mud flaps and rubber mats, so good to go!
Thank goodness for You Tube as the rear mud flap instructions may as well have been in a different language and how the images relate to reality is beyond me!
Initial observations on the SDV6 are that it's a fantastic drive. Will get some getting used to the stop/start & keyless entry though. Missing rear seat drink holders. Surprised to see the full size spare is no longer a standard and that it is a scissor jack.

After a very short while you will have forgotten it has start/stop fitted, it works so quickly and isn't a real problem although a lot of people who haven't driven one with stop/start will have you believe different

There are 2 cup holders in the back of the centre console for row 2 and two in each rear panel for row 3 Cheers Ian

Ah yes. I seem to recall some years ago using that very TD5 to try (and fail) to pull your 1st D3 off some rocks when beached on a trip to Morroch! The bottle jack came into its own though. MY2014 Discovery SDV6 HSE
