Dont forget that there is a difference in ordering the "Black Pack" and having "Grand Black" as a finisher inside....if you didn't order a "Black Pack" then you won't have black door handles

Surely the PDI check should pick these things up before you take delivery of it

The other interesting bit is that all the MY13 build sheets give the engine torque of 625Nm, rather than the 600Nm of MY12. Guess they increased the output, which is nice.
Mine only states 600Nm (and 183kW); I wonder if they detune for Australia, due to some suspect diesel.

Interestingly I've just gone out and looked at my 13 plate HSE Lux and mine definitely has the grey handles. Which would tend to agree with the previous comment . Mine is in Causeway Grey and thus I didn't opt for the Black design pack. However what this forum has now done is question my build spec. The attached literature states that the Lux has leather covered interior handles. Mine are just the ordinary plastic ones.... Can anyone comment whether they should be fitted or not?

I pick up my MY13 Discovery Lux on Thursday 28th March in the morning after they have fitted my tracker. I have seen my car from the outside and I have dark grey handles, I have ordered Santorini Black.
I will let you know if the car has leather covered interior handles.

Yep, confirmed by my dealer, The spec on the web is not correct and the black door handles are part of
a seperate black pack which has to be ordered. Wish I'd known! I don't even remember seeing anything
about a black pack. But, .... Hey Ho... It's a minor thing and I still love the car Disco 4 HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
