30+ mpg is easily achieved in the SDV6.
Flappy paddles, put it in drive then pretend you are lewis Hamilton. Right paddle to change up a gear, left paddle to change down. To cancel the flappy gear changes, just hold the + paddle towards you for a couple of seconds and the gearbox will default back to auto. Your dash display will tell you which gear you are in. If you stay in the same gear too long without changing gear, it will default back to auto. Once you get used to it, it's great fun.

Very nice Rob. Thumbs Up A few things you need to order asap.
Security screws for your rear lights.
RLD spare wheel protector. See sticky ad in For Sale section. Sorry can't post a link off my phone.
Also check your new car has a spare wheel before you collect it. You would be surprised how many dealers don't check.
Also check that all 4 of your tyres are matching tread. If not make the dealer change them.
Enjoy your new toy. Thumbs Up

Some garages/dealers have been known to cut corners when replacing tyres with cheap brands and not with tyres that L/R recommend. I would only except 4 matching branded recommended tyres that were original equipment supplied by L/R or. Equivalent. With 24000 miles on the clock, it may well have its original tyres on like mine. Mine has 26000 miles on and the tyres still have 6mm on.
