Mine’s a 2017 Autobiography, so both the hardware and software are different, but your ought to have speed sign recognition (which, while not flawless, is still damn useful), though even my 2017 doesn’t have a database of speed limits in the satnav. Did you buy it from a LR dealer? It sounds...

How did you find your way into my garage?! :p

Every day’s a school day :D what did surprise me on the track was the size and quantity of the rivets - more frequent than spot welds and more like the size of rivets that you might find in jeans.

I went to visit Castle Bromwhich to watch the aluminium Jaguar XJ’s being bonded and riveted together about 8 years ago. The rivets are not only quite sophisticated (these aren’t pop rivets!), but it’s interesting to remember that the same factory was riveting aluminium panels together on...

Or, as the rivets start to suffer from dissimilar alloy corrosion. But none of this technology is that new and has been tried and tested over decades previously. Heck, even bicycle frames have been bonded together like this for at least 30 years without issue, but time will tell. One of the...

The L405 is completely made from aluminium, rivited and bonded. The oldest ones are now 6 or 7 years old with no corrosion issues reported.

Nothing new there then, but at least warranties tend to be three years now, rather than one and they take a lot, lot longer to rust as well.

Yes, I did. I then explained how it could be done at a sensible cost through a specialist (non dealer), or with the body in situ :)

I wish! :rolleyes:

A specialist can lift the body off, complete the major service at 112,000 miles / 7 years, change all of the belts, including both cam belts all for £7-800. I know that’s still a major wedge, but it’s still only once every 7 years! All the work can be done with the body on if you want, it just...

What has this got to do with the L405? There is no separate chassis to remove the body from. You’ve got yourself confused with the Disco 3/4 (where removing the body from the chassis is a perfectly acceptable way to access major components anyway!).

Leave me a few moments to savour having the drop down tab first! Then I'll post something up :D

Yes! I saw that earlier this morning. Thanks to everyone who supported me on this and those that got it done in the end :)

Thank you both to yourself and everyone else who's supported me in asking for this for the last 2 years! It's finally here :D:D

Not yet. I’ve been asking for over two years now, but I’ve never had an outright decline yet! I’d understand it if someone were to say “we’ve lost the password to the site and it’s stock how it is - just go and buy an Evoque, it’ll be a lot easier!” :eek: :D

Why would large numbers of people buy them if there’s no LandyZone section for them?! ;)

Thanks again for thinking of it, I can hope

Good luck, I hope you manage it. I have asked before, on and off for over 2 years now, including one thread that's over 10 pages long! I'll check in from time to time and keep trying.

It's a damn nice car. Which engine have you gone for? Tell me it's a V8 :) What did you have before? 1) Yep, you got very lucky. Don't knock it! 2) Ditto 3) I fear that, being a 2016MY, you'll have the smaller screen and I don't think updates are available. It's worth a call to the dealer to...

It's getting hard to know what to say when another modern LR driver is driven away. I can't speak for BluehorizonUK, bit I run mine out of complete dedication to the marque and I'd never be able to afford another one. This one's got to last to retirement (another 9 1/2 years, which should take...
