Here's mine, I wanted a euro 6, and this is the best I could afford... SE Tech 60k miles. Not the best photo i know.
Already got a couple issues ! Rear windows didn't go down/up and the rear doors didn't lock. Out with the fuse box instructions... fixed
Eco start/stop is 'unavailable' - found the jockey battery neg terminal had been removed, refitted that.. still doesn't work. Not that fussed but would be good to know.
Got some extras - roof rails and side steps, possibly a few others, roof bars now on order.
It drives beautifully despite Cooper Zeon mud tyres humming away
Full LR history but I'll go Indy - suggestions welcome in Surrey or SW London
I need to sort a warranty PDQ by the sounds of it !

Nice looking vehicle
As for S/S not working.... I’d think it’s a positive thing for the driver. In our other car I always try to remember turning it off since there is no way of disabling it officially.

so someone has disabled the S/S I guess. I havent been on a fuse hunt yet... maybe I will because I am a nosey engineer and like taking things to bits. I think I am in the right place ...

on closer inspection...
jockey battery has only 8 -9 volts showing, so that s/s thing wont work
new pads and discs all round
new front lower wishbones, so thats good
loads of mud wedged under the sills which needs hosing out, explains the chunky tyres
gave a quick spray over with ACF-50 which I swear by to keep corrosion at bay and help preserve rubber bushes etc..
