Hi qzdcg8
No probs. But it was very strange that an Australian Magazine is saying it will be in the Australian unit very soon..2006 Disco 3 TDV6 SE in Zambezi Silver

I think the mag may have got it wrong. From what I understand, it will be available in the Rangie very soon, but not for some time in the Disco (if ever) due to a desire to reduce the blurred line between upper spec D3's and Rangies.Have a nice day!
