My 21MY D300 HSE It’s finally arrived! (Not that I had very long to wait- 3 weeks in total) Just blown away how nice this car is. I test drive a base spec P300 last year and was left cold. This feels SO special by comparison, the full extended leather smells lovely and feels very high quality compared to the grained leather I’ve seen in others. I just don’t get why photos never encapsulate the scale of this model. It feels huge when you’re in it but to look at it you’d say it wasn’t that big. Interestingly, there more space inside for my son’s child seat and him behind the passenger seat than my D3. I need to run the new engine in for 2k but so far the engine is lovely. Very quiet, smooth and makes a nice noise when you do push it a little. The Pivi pro is awesome. Loving the apps, tried Apple car play but not sure what the fuss is on that, you can see some apps but it’s not like you can read WhatsApp’s or texts, looks like you can only send stuff (unless I need to configure). More to come 😎[/i] 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol

Looks great black on black. I’ve made similar choice when ordering my S 110 hard top.

Joel Yes, total fluke, and my closest dealer too, they were trying to drum up market interest and so put this one up with a really good discount, I saw it within hours of the advert so snapped it up. The wheels were not my first choice but now I have them in the flesh, I’m really warming to them, so chunky! 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol

Very nice! Pretty much same as mine. The wheels are great, easy to clean too. CarPlay is something I’m getting used to. I don’t use Spotify, but use Apple Music, so that works well with CP. Google maps works, but you don’t get the repeat info on the driver display. I’ve now got into podcasts! Something I never listened to before. I haven’t seen the need for the supplied apps for weather, etc. The cars nav system is good, but still chose some odd routes! Voice control is ok, but doesn’t work all the time. It takes a few minutes to wake up I reckon. There is a problem with the user profiles, there seems to be an update happening on this soon, but It occasionally loses the profile info at the moment. Mine has done it twice now. I can’t get the keys to match up to a profile, hope that gets fixed too. Having said that, bearing in mind I only either listen to the Dab radio or Apple Music, I’m not sure what else profiles does! Get it run in, because the engine is a real peach!

I had new tyres fitted today. I went for GoodYear Wrangler Duratracs in the standard size 255/60/20. I’ve previously used these on my Discovery for the past 4 years and been very impressed with them. It helps they look great too! I searched high and low for the best deal and Kwik Fit came up trumps, fitted on my driveway.

Ronin Member Since: 09 Aug 2012 Location: Kent Posts: 213	Lovely. Chunky tyres really do make these. Probably why I’ve got 5 275/55R20 KO2s in the shed and my 663 is still more than two months away Have you had any of the lower panels painted - the front grille looks darker than ceres silver. Joel

lumbstar Member Since: 08 Mar 2021 Location: Yorkshire Posts: 10	The black D300HSE above is I saw a Pangea 110 on the M62 near Leeds today with some nice aftermarket paintwork to the front bumper. It was black down the middle bulgy bits and Pangea on the lower silver grille to either side. If it’s anyone on here - Nice, I’d love to see more pics! D240 SE 110-Tasman Audi S4 B9, Audi S3 8V, Defender 110 TD5 HT
