Hi Phantom, and nice car you have ordered  Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

welcome, mate

what's the 'cold climate pack' ?

not that the RRS is not working in the mountains, but why hesitate to buy something you don't need but is still cool? (pun not inteded) RRS SC Bonatti Grey

The cold climate pack is:

- Heated front seats - for the lady in the winter
- Heated front windows - for me, otherwise I will be scraping the ice in the morning, and I hate doing that

And I can assure that it comes in handy.

Hi. My honest opinion is that the TDV6 is just too slow. Change to the V8.

I won't change for the V8, if it's really lacking power I'll get it tuned at the dealer, he can bump it to 500NM/235HP.

And honestly if I need to go fast I just take our Mini Cooper Cabrio which is JCW/K&N tuned, some true carting fun

And maybe it's not the same in other countries but over here you killed by road taxes, CO2 taxes, etc... on bigger engines, so for the price of the taxes I can get a full set of options.

Welcome Phantom. I agree the TDV6 isn't too slow - I had mine chipped at the dealers and it goes really well! It's all very well someone just saying "Go for the V8" but hey, the V8 is nearly £8k more expensive!! and not everybody has got a spare £8k to spend, especially after already spending nearly £48k on the car in the 1st place!! 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

GONE - RRS - 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Santorini (2010)
GONE - RRS - 2.7 TDV6 HSE - Java Black (2007)
GONE - Porsche Boxster S - 3.2 - Black

If it was only the 8K more for the car, but there is also 2.5K extra for 1st Taxes and 1K/Year supplemental for yearly taxes, and the CO2 tax will make sure that only can only bring 60% of the car in as a company expense.

They are going heavy here on big cars, and they're not alone, inside Brussels we also have to face the Anti-4x4 gang who will kill your tires

But I'm still getting my RRS

Great choice, Phantom!

...and who said Brussels was the most tedious city on the face of the Earth?

There's nowt wrong with a TDv6, it has enough umph for most owners, so it's not fast off the line but does that really matter, it's not how you get there that matters, it's how you arrive - feeling fresh unflustered and in decent comfort is my experience of the TDv6. I've bought a TDv8 to rpelace my TDv6 and am fully expecting the ride comfort to be harsher on a car riding on 20" Low profile tyres and with dynamic response than it is on the TDv6 on 18" tyres with a decent side wall and no DR. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The TDV6 HSE comes by default also with 20" now, but that seems to be different from country to country.
