Wrapped cars have lower resale value in my humble opinion.
Wrap is removable and leaves the original paint behind. Seems like a better option than having it painted in some personal paint colour. |

| They have the SV Bespoke Paint https://www.landrover.co.uk/special-vehicle-operations/sv-bespoke-paint.html so presumably they'll do you a colour. But I bet they'll bend you over with the price! |

Supermarket diesel here. Used to mess around with the super premium stuff from Shell/BP in the old TDV8 for a while but found no difference when I changed back to normal diesel from supermarkets.

Wow, you've been busy!
Congrats (and good luck!) on the new arrival. Do keep us updated on it and, perhaps, give some comparisons between older and newer models - it's a question that comes up on h ... |

I used to average, over all driving, about 23mpg in my TDV8. I tend to "make use of the available performance as required"  so I'm sure a gentle right foot would see upper 20s mpg.

| The gearbox tries to stay in a high gear (presumably an emissions thing) which means it can often be at too high a gear when slowing down and then asking for a bit of throttle. Back in the day it was ... |

| Perhaps the mounting points on the block are cast in a different location between the RRS and the FFRR. |

You could just put that money in an account and use it for servicing at a cheaper place, of course. A service plan is just putting the money in someone else's account until it's time to spend it.

| It's definitely overdue on time in that case. As so many people just service by mileage even though the book says time/miles, I'd assume it hasn't been done yet and act accordingly. |

If there is no documentation then assume it hasn't been done and budget accordingly.

Service is every 12 months or 16k, isn't it? So the LRSH is rather incomplete with 3 years between services (54 months - 18 months = 36 months).
Find a decent indy and use them. Half the price, twi ... |
