My MY16 Landmark... ps who has a spare fridge? :)
This has basically been 12 years in the making as I used to make after sales videos for these cars (including the Armoured version of the D4!) and despite absolutely loving them could never afford one. I'm a cameraman by trade and the D4 always struck me as the absolute perfect vehicle for getting a load of kit around the country in comfort.
Wanted a low mileage euro 6 vehicle and eventually settled on this 16 plate Landmark. 27K on the clock, with the next two services already paid for and the two year warranty from buying through LR Approved.
I'm sure I paid a bit more than going through independents and autotrader etc but peace of mind was important.
It's in pristine condition and drives beautifully. Coming from a nine year old Honda CRV so it's a bit of a change . Fitted options are the gorgeous alloys, the privacy glass, the auto-dipping lights (even though I read they're kind of a pain) and remote heating. Definitely has the Meridian Surround system too. Would have liked the surround cameras but no luck. I included the build code thing below, if anyone can translate it that'd be cool... I didn't check if it had the blind spot monitoring, was that part of an options pack or standard?
Will consider the NaviPlus CarPlay retrofit but for the time being have ordered the Brodit mount for my phone that fits up near one of the vents. If anyone knows the best cable routing from there to some switched 12V that'd be handy as I like to hide all my cables.
And if anyone knows where I can get a cubby fridge to retrofit please let me know!
Collecting her on Wed and will make sure I fit one of the spare wheel protectors first. The only thing the dealer needed to do to sort everything on their checklist was replace the spare so I assume the original was stolen
Can't wait!

Thanks will do; the wheel was in a spares box in the boot actually ready to be fitted. I'll double check on collection.

I did retrofit a fridge to my Landmark. Never used it once, other than to check it worked.
I permanently keep a very good small cool box in the D4 and use that instead.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Got a fridge in my recently acquired D4 and would rather have the space as a cubby box.
But not getting carried away with my "wants", so will see how the summer goes to see whether I keep it or dump it!
An observation with it is that it seems to be made for cans of "fat b@stard" pop, and I'd rather it takes a bottle or two of Highland Spring !
