Robofarmer,
First and foremost welcome to the site:- With regards to your query it is entirely down to personal choice. My pennethworth for what it is:- If it ain't broke don't fix it! I have NOT had the previous two updates done as mine is driving perfectly well too. People often mistakenly agree to updates as 1. It's free and 2. They think it will have the acceleration of a Porsche afterwards. 
As a footnote to this your ECU has 15 non-re-writable slots on it. After 15 updates/reprogrammes then what? 'Muggins' has to source and pay for a new ECU....Ask your dealer Workshop Manager to explain it to you....Mine admitted it when 'pressed!' Once again welcome and I am sure someone else will be along shortly to advise.....   If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Robo,
Banter and the 'Northerners' aside (Joke Willy, Fekete and the usual tribe) it is indeed a wealth of useful information.
There are also some very knowlegeable individuals willing to impart and share their information to assist those that need it and make your Land Rover experience more pleasureable! We also have an occassional Victor Meldrew in residence too!
Welcome again! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

 Fekete I'm surprised you can still get into the workshop with those wwwwiiiide wheels. Who on earth would fit such width boots to their landy?

Another Southerner. We need to get the wall rebuilt PDQ
Welcome to the mad house mate
Interesting point on the ECU K9 you learn something new everyday. Does Pete take one of these slots too? and how much are new ECU's? enquiring minds need to know  59 2.4 110 XS Utility
55 TD5 110 CSW Special Vehicle |

No names!
 You know who I mean don't you?
I was married to one for 16 years....From that neck o' the woods.... She was a misery 'n' all!
Had to edit it to tone it down, emotion momentarily took over....Deep breath..... calm....... If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

And your neighbour of course, welcome RoboFarmer 
Just to let everyone know, if you do go for any software updates try and check to see what fault codes are left in the ECU. Mine had to go back in to have the injectors calibrated. |
