Had the XXV for a few weeks now and thought I would share some pics. Really pleased with it, much smoother than my old HSE. I particularly like the disco image light under the mirror..

OK. Say that my mind is jealous.. ... but the pics of the "25" look soo smooth.. A bit 'over-ironed' smoothness for a car that started as a raw-gem in 2004.. I have my doubts if it is a good idea to buy a 'fully loaded' D4. There was a TV-show on in which some visionary type stated that as many cities are banning diesel cars, these might get pritty impractical to drive quite soon. So I think I'll hold out in my raw-gem for a few more years untill JLR finally comes up with a sensible hybrid instead of solely 'extra-power' oriented thinking. Its a bit like the dinosaurs : they also didn't have a clue untill it was too late. Looks like JLR can be a extinct specious soon, as the Brexit EUR/GBP exchange and toll-barriers will not help in staying compatible on the global market, to 'land it' 'on shore' , outside the Island known also as the UK...

@ Mark. I do too : my D3 serves me well. I think I can hold on to the old lady for another 5 years untill there is an "retro-fit" electric powerplant availabe... A hole in the market when diesel gets outlawed..
Batteries would fit snugly into the space now used for the 3rd row...

Hi, you can only load one disc at a time, but you can download and store I think up to 10 discs. It is however slow to download them. 2010 RR 5.0 Autobiography

We're slowly growing in numbers 8)
Things I've noticed with mine that you might want to check:
Do the rear sunroof blinds latch closed properly?
Does the TCS (gear selector switch) illuminate green with the side lights on?
Is there a leak onto the rear parcel shelf from the boot light (water gets in through the shark fin)?
Can you check the state of both batteries? Both of mine had to be replaced!
I only found these out on mine after getting it, so it'll be being booked in soon to have them fixed.
Apart from the above, I'm sure you'll love it as much as the rest of us D4 MY14 XXV - RLD/IID BT

Yes, there's a TSB out for it - LTB00924 VIN range is 510178-776340. Seems to involve removing the D pillar trim, then C pillar trim then lowering the headlining. Spacers are then inserted into the latches (Part No. CPF500020 x 4), then put it all back together.
