Any UK members placed an order yet?
Just wondered if there are any UK members that have placed an order yet?
I unfortunately had my F15 M Sport 40D stolen 3 weeks ago and now in the market for a new one. Have had a quote for a 50d and very interested but not sure whether to hold out for the 45e. Test drove the RRS hybrid and really liked that apart from the small boot space. just wondered what other UK members are doing |

They boosted the key signal (keyless entry) and then jumped in and started it somehow. Took less than 90 seconds to do. Quite scary really. Car has been recovered 6 hours after but they have totalled the inside. Boot space simple toy destroyed, leather seats damaged, engine and rear suspension damaged. Not good. |

Its by far the preferred method for nicking BMW's and X5's in particular as most people see CA as a priority option to have. I haven't checked yet, but I hope CA is not fit standard on the G05, as if it is, I'll not be changing my F15 for a G05 in a couple of years time.

OP I'm quite surprised you'd say the RRS boot is small. Pretty cavernous IMO, not managed to fill it yet. Much better case for the X5 boot....the split tailgate. Such a handy outdoor seat that lower section! Sorry to here about the theft but great to be shopping again.

A good friend of mine has been a Land-Rover/RR fan/owner for decades, and he was looking to change his Disco 3 for a new one until he found out that LR deleted the split tailgate on the latest Disco....so he's going to keep his Disco 3 until it falls apart.

The car itself was very nice you cannot really tell that it is a 3 year old model. It has all the new infortainment systems in it. I agree though the split boot design is a bonus. |

Just went to IKEA today, split tailgate F15 really helped and made it so easy, i find split tailgate useful only few times per year though...Facelifted RRS impressed me in the showroom and as i drove off from the dealer (test drive). After a couple of hours in the car I ended up not liking it and the ultra impressive infotainment as seen in Velar became feeling useless. All that plus the ERROR msg popping out due to matrix LED lights (or whatever theyre called) I was done with it. Car also signifficantly blfelt bigger (smaller boot though) and definitively felt slower with similar spec engine as F15. Decided to keep my F15 for a little while after that experience... now looking at the G05...

That is why I didn't go for the comfort Access either.... neighbor of ours also had the same problem, although they only opened the car to steal sunglasses and credit cards. But once they are inside, it is simple to hook up to the OBD interface and code a new key. Better stay away from the comfort access |

I have ordered mine - with third row, due mid January, built in December (which seems to be a good thing according to some people, given the availability of the autonomous driving stuff).
The comfort access comes as part of the package and is a concern - simply bizarre how the manufacturers have not addressed this issue head on! We looked at a RR - simple not a driver's car. I am sure if is very comfortable etc but if feels like you are driving an arm chair, and a slow one at that. The RR engines are behind the times. |

It also makes it very expensive to spec the G05. In the above example heated rear seats (which should really be standard!) would have cost say £250 before as a stand alone item now costs £2500 because you have to take the comfort pack, which includes many options the buy may not want. e.g. like comfort access which I never order to avoid the situation we are talking about above. |
