Don`t think I`m allowed to own / drive a Volvo yet! Don`t you have to be over 70 and have completed a minimum number of Glenton Coach Tours/Saga Cruises before you are allowed to own one!

I'm proud to have mobility. Obviously mobility is an alien concept to many LR owners as they wait for the big yellow taxi New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

Thank you. Then I will pass that MY2012, I want 8 speed gearbox, which means I need to look for MY2014.
The 2012 one I had an 8 speed box had the older style but better headlights than the 2014 one.

Graphite was base spec, roughly equivalent to the old SE.
I now know why is doesn`t have heated seats - because it originally comes from Italy. No heated seats, no heated windscreen, no webasto. I wonder if it has glow plugs then ?!

Regarding sdv6 3.0 engines:
Discovery 4 2009-2014 had so called gen1 engine with two turbos
Discovery 4 2014 - 2017 (facelift model) had so called gen2 engine with single turbo?
Is this correct?

I love the quoted acceleration figures in the LR brief posted on the first page “ The new V6 generates 340PS and torque of 450Nm to deliver acceleration from 0-6mph in 7.7 seconds....”

tdv6 was single turbo then?
Why there are two versions, 245 and 256 bhp of sdv6? Was that on earlier d4 and d4.5 ?

Are sdv6 engines identical for 2012-2016? I see some at 245 hp and some 256hp.

I changed my D4 MY 2013 8 speed HSE with face lifted lights etc for a new XC90. I've not looked back and don't miss the D4.
