Hi all

Another newbie waiting on my MY 16 RRS HSE ordered Saturday.

Just notice on the config site does the HSE have analogue speedo etc rather than digi in other models?

Also what are lead times, dealer says Dec

Thanks

I'm sure it's digital that's just a error on the online configurator.

Build times I believe December / January is about right for orders placed now.

I'm sure there will be earlier slots at some dealers but to me it's not worth the hassel unless your not happy with your dealer.

The more the Chinese and Russian economies falter the shorter the wait for your RRS becomes! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Was at my dealership today and was told mine was likely to come forward for this exact reason!

Is this about the analogue instruments on the HSE really true?

I was considering buying a new HSE to replace my existing one but I will definitely hang on to it if LR have downgraded the vehicle by this change.

I'm surprised that they don't just offer one model, the ATB, and have done with it thus satisfying their greed. They seem to be squeezing the range upwards (no SE, downgrade the HSE...). Regards

LR moved the goalposts on the MY16 HSE and removed the digital screen. It's now only available from Dynamic up. So if you have ordered HSE base model the dials are analogue.

I am afraid so. Like you I was set on ordering the HSE and had already built the car in the configurator months ago when it showed the car with the digital binnacle. However I wanted to wait for the MY16 only to be told by my local dealer that was one of many changes. If you build an HSE now it's clearly visible as an analogue array in the interior 360 view.

It looks as if the HSE is now, in reality, fast becoming the SE.......

I noticed this on the site as well however my car arrived with LCD clocks. I think it's just an error on the website.

HSE is still listed with the TFT Virtual Instrument Display. 

The MY16 HSE does have the digital display 2008 Factory HST- Sold
Arrived 2016 HSE carpathian grey

I bow to the owners and curse LR and my local dealer for their incompetence. If I go ahead with my order (this sort of thing and all the threads on poor reliability is putting me off...) I may switch back from Dynamic to base HSE and save some money. Sorry Polar Bear for adding to your angst.

I think the analogue dials on a lower spec car is a USA spec thing.

Certainly the UK configurator thinks all UK spec cars have the digital screen. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Is it definitely a MY16 HSE ? Maybe you got lucky and there were lots of digital binnacle left on the HSE line before they switched. I would not put it past LR !
