Found your report very interesting as I've only ever known the new 3.0

Re point 9 - your map reading lights - there is a seriously simple mod you can do - will take no more than 30 mins to do, and works perfectly - there are a few write-ups on here to show you how to do it - that may take it to 9.9/10 !

If you check out this thread

http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic20566.html

you will find the instructions on how to correct Land Rover's oversight regarding the rear lights. Since making this mod getting the kids in and out of the back of the car has been much easier, no more fumbling in the dark for seatbelts etc

Have you had the wheels resprayed graphite grey yet?

I must admit after 6 months of ownership I checked the "Instructional Videos" on the Landrover web site. While mostly basic information I did learn a few hints and tricks I was not previously aware of.

actually the fact they have a dedicated NAV button to take you back to the NAV screen does mitigate the problem a bit. Shame the NAV is pants

a simple LCD showing track number or track duration (I envisage a white light backed LCD running parallel to the CD slot) would have made the world of difference

or

an overlay to the NAV GUI showing track info when you push the MODE button

or

...

basically a hundred ways to do it better!!
