Can anyone tell me when (registration type) the facelifted RRS' were sold in the UK? I've heard 2012 but that seems too recent?

Cheers,

I believe there has been 2 major facelift - changes - 2009-10 & 2011 -12 its hard to tell by number plates because the models do crossover the vehicle registration dates.  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
17MY Autobiography Dynamic - Corris Grey - WOW.
14MY Autobiography Dynamic - SDV6 - Fuji White
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Santorini Black - Dual View - Rear Entertainment - Sunroof.
12MY Autobiography - SDV6 - Orkney Grey - awesome ;(
2005 Java Black - 4.2 V8 Supercharged First Edition- will never be forgotten ;(

Correct it's around the July point in the 59/10 then the 12my Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

But the 12MY came out in September 2011 on a 61 plate.

Thanks. I didn't know there were two facelifts. That improves the pricing slightly!

My13 came out in July 12

When i referred to the 12My and July thats what i meant 12My in the July earlier Mike

another pricing jump is the TDV6 and SDV6 (both facelifts) just to confuse you a bit more  RRS gone

More power was required to lug the extra 2 gear cogs around

The 8 speed coupled with the 10bhp (and whatever torque) increase is meant to be a better blend than the 6 speed... but having only ever driven a TDV6 6 speed I could not comment.

I'm surprised one of the SDV6 guys hasn't TBH  RRS gone

going from 11MY TDV6 to 13MY SDV6 with the 8 speed, it definitely is more nippy Mike

2014 Facelift Discovery

Imo Mike, thats because it has 10 more horses and is lower geared.

It seemed punchy on the autobahns though...im not saying you are wrong but its probably the gearing ratio more generally

The mpg saving come from the gearing resulting in lower RPM. I think there might also have been some engine mapping changes for the SDV6 in addition to the extra power. Mike

You might be right Ady.

My friend went from a 2008 TDV8 to a 2012 SDV6 and he said it's just as nippy.... however his wife has just bought a 2011 D4 with the 6 speed (not sure if it's an SD or a TD) but he says it goes better than his RRS? RRS gone
