Hi,

my 1st post, please be gentle

been lurking around for a little while, as i am planning to buy a rrstdv6.

one of the things i am a bit confused about are the changes made from the 55 plates models to the 57 plate models.

I understand changes were made, but don't know exactly what they are, hence don't know if it is worth paying the extra for a newer car.

maybe someone can enlighten me

Thanks,

I cannot recall all the changes although they were minor until the new MY10, wheel options, trim options etc.....
Main gain on a 57 over a 55 is your warranty protection which is worth having what model are you looking at?

You'll poss get more of a response on Monday when you tend to get more people on here whilst at work

Oh and Welcome !

Hi,

thanks for the welcome

looking at a TDV6HSE. I want in black, with the sideboard, and the 20" inch alloys.

from what little I know, LR made a change sometime where they added a different type of suspension & brembo brakes.

but don't know what year this started.

I just noticed you had the HSE in the title , the likes of Smoogle will be on here on Mon AM and the brakes suspension questions are the things he seems to recall

werent the lights slightly different too

On a 2008 and 2009 model you have a clock in the display nexy to the speedo. My 2006 havent a clock.

The air compressor, turbos, ball joints and a few other parts including interior finish (from grey to black plastics) were upgraded over the years. If it's been looked after, should have had all the necessary work (except interior) and should be ok. You have to be careful with the early ones, make sure service history is good and get a dealer to give you a print out of previous issues / warranty work. If it's been trouble in the past, stay away.
