I am aware that the earth might have ended already
Thats the delivery day to the dealer so I'm guessing that I will see it just before the New Year tbh ...has to have it's PDI and a tracker fitted.

Some suggestion that my car may be ready late Jan. In the meantime I notice that Ivory leather has become available and is showing on the D4 MY13 website. If only I had known I would have ordered this:

Nice light seat covers yet black carpets and trim, which is what I like for the boot.
I wonder if they would allow me to amend my order as it will not be built until mid Jan???Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

If anyone wants to know why their new D4 is delayed the answer is clear to anyone on the last (and next) factory tour. If it was me they'd be more delayed but SWMBO says "NO!!!".

They are building 3 models on the one line ...D4, RRS & new FFRR ...even though they are now running 24hours ..demand is strong, priorities for getting the new FFRR demonstrators out for dealers is strong and something has to give 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Coz the T5 line is producing L405s and moving slower as the L405 is taking longer to make. Saw one batch of 4 having the bodyshell and chassis mated, it was 2 x RRSs, one FFRR and one D4.
