Maybe my hearing isn't what it used to be |

It's interesting to note that after Harry's slightly tepid review, he replaced is L405 with one. |

Do like his reviews but haven't watched this one yet but will watch later so I can do a comparison on mine after I pick my D350 up on Monday. 2023 D350 FIRST EDITION, SANTORINI WITH CLOUD/EBONY

Yes, that was slightly odd. I'm surprised he didn't just either keep the old L322 or replace it with a newer/lower mileage L322 - he reckons the L322 is "peak Range Rover" after all. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

He still has the L322, it’s the PHEV L405 that’s been replaced with the new RRS. |

Ah, that makes sense. Must have missed him saying that. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Old post I know but totally agree, I was shocked to find the boot floor is literally just a panel that has been plonked down. It’s crazy that lr didn’t fit a proper hinged panel that lifts up and stays there whilst you’re getting things in/out. Agree on the controls as well, it definitely looks neater but so much harder to do simple things like hvac controls and adjust volume. Really don’t understand why all cars are going this way, saving money should not be an excuse on a £110k car. Also I didn’t know the older model had split adjustment of the back seat, I had it on my old x5 with comfort seats and it was great. |

I notice on the latest L461 model, L-R have got rid of the physical climate controls and buttons under the screen altogether. I know from driving my wife's new Evoque how bloody irritating this is. Having to take your eyes off the road to jab a screen with your finger to do simple everyday tasks like turning the radio off or changing the climate temp or switching the heated seat on is ridiculous and possibly dangerous. And my strong suspicion is that this is just a cost cutting measure, which is completely inappropriate for a £100k car

I totaly agree about pyhsical buttons being better than touch screen and so was very hesitant when I found out the 73 plate car I was looking at was a MY24 and thus all touch screen. However having bought it I don't mind the touch temp control. you don't really need to look at the screen too much as just putting your finger on it and sliding up or down works , the same for car mode and volume. What I do find exceedingly anoying though is the pyhsical seat controls, they used to be effortless on the side of the seat base but now having moved onto the door you have to almost dislocate your wrist to operate them , not only uncomfortable but also difficult to make subtle adjustments. MY24 Dynamic SE,MY21 HSE Silver, MY20 SQ7, MY 18 RRS HSE Dynamic , MY 16 RRS Autobiography now gone & MY 2005 Discovery 3 HSE that I will be buried in ! |

I suppose the difference is that with the seat controls you adjust them once, memorise them and never touch them again whereas with the volume and climate controls, you're going to use them nearly every trip |

It's the tutorial you have to give when some one else jumps in the passenger seat who is bigger than the wife and needs to adjust the seat bits and bob's she has set up thats so bloomin annoying. And as for the temp, seats and fan controls being lost on the facia upgrade, I cancelled my new order for a P460 because of it. Don't like it, it is far better and easier to adjust without looking with the dual rotary dials on the earlier 461's.
