Looks lovely indeed, I'm very curious how does the D350 compare to D300, or on a different level to a X5 30d/40d.
If you've collected your car you must be a lucky one as there's a bunch of us waiti ... |

| Well then, are are off to a good start with Land Rover. Just off the phone to my supplying dealer and there's a recall action in place, something to do with cooling rails in the engine (or so I'm told ... |

No choice about the glossy finish in the UK for the D350 HSE unfortunately, all cars are now with the X dynamic pack as standard (and the price has gone up accordingly also, so no choice).

Have been told the car goes into production this week due to be delivered mid - October.
Went to a number of garages to have a look at the BMW X5, Merc GLE and Porsche Cayenne to verify if I have m ... |

| I was actually looking at a RR Sport D300 recently as an alternative to the Cayenne/X5/GLE. It was the 23 plate, so still had the useful climate control buttons and dials. On 21" alloys with airs ... |

It does, doesn't it? The original D300 timescale was supposed to be 1st September, but then the deal was scrapped.
It wouldn't really matter except, I am booking the Eurotunnel ride in September, s ... |

Cheers, I think my driving habits suit diesel in that type of a car. I'm currently averaging 32.8 mpg in the E53 as it's mostly A roads and motorways and I avoid any city driving altogether.

I think you’ve convinced yourself it’s the Defender.

Hello there,
Similar to what happened to me, I had a D300 HSE on order, but it was canned in May. However, my delivery date is still in October, so 3 months away. |

| Think I'll have another look at the Defender this weekend, it's been a while since I had a test drive in one, but I'd swear it was more spacious inside than the E class. The boot is definitely more ca ... |

On the boot space Merc is 640 litres vs 786 Defender, however I'm thinking in the usual LR fashion, the are quoting space to the roof?
The Merc is truly great for the size of its boot, it's the rea ... |

Not sure as I haven't done it before. There's an off road course right on my doorstep plus Land Rover are advertising the ones where you bring your own car, so that could be a shout too.
