2011 - couldn't get the 2012 I wanted as it was sold before I called!
Doesn't quite look like that but hopefully will later in the year!
Has a lot of the toys too so can't wait to drive it to Spain next year. Just frustrating that there were so many options and while the standard options with Westminster, SE and AB were decent, things like Dual View etc were still optional.
Ours is 2011 and yes same issue with the spec, all the different options makes them all different.
Enjoy the drive, they eat the miles effortlessly

Other than normal service items, which include gearbox oil for us, so make sure thats been done as was off the list to start with IIRC.
Suspension bushes.
1 front prop cv.
Discs all round this year.
Rebuilt compressor.
Battery.
Ac regas due to expansion valve.
Headlamp bulb (them buggers are pricey) look around for the best price before you drive in EU. and work out the little flaps to make your beam "flat".
Find all
the fuse boxes.I would really have to say nothing major
We have had it 9yrs now

LR now state iirc, 140K / 9 years. But most specialists recommend at least every 70K. Including the filter change.
And blimey those rear dampers are not cheap...LOL.
I was checking mine yesterday and opened the suspension compressor cover, pleased to find it hada new comppressor , which was date 05/05/2018. Fingers crossed that lasts a while longer.

It's on 130k..and I don't know when it was last done but regardless, it's going to be done as a priority when I get it back.

Och, was hoping it would be posh enough to do it automatically.
Good call
We are less than that in klms and have done twice
.The 8 speed should feel almost seemless even when you boot it
which of course you have to do now and again, use it or lose it my Dad always said.J
2 minute job when you know where they are, takes most of the time juggling the coffee while doing it in the queue for the ferry

I like the fact it is recommended to boot it every now and then to make sure the oil clears from the second turbo pipework.

Just an oil and filter or would you recommend a flush, too?
I don't believe there's anything in the receipts to suggest a flush has been done.. But, again, haven't seen anything yet!
