    Spec Choice - Landmark 3.0 SDV6

    So a new Landmark is looking financially do-able.

    Checked one out at my local dealer on Sat and I'm happy enough with the "cheap seats." Infact, I think I prefer the matt plastic interior trim to the glossy black stuff. Seems to fit with the utilititarian style of the car in general plus I won't have to worry so much about sticky little finger prints and scratches (3 kids in tow).

    Spec-wise I'm looking at the following:

    Indus
    22" 5011 wheels in silver
    Black roof rails
    Black headlining
    360 camera
    Interactive driver display
    Heated steering wheel
    Detachable towbar

    This will be a family car and will be used on road 99% of the time.

    Is there anything else I should consider?

    Wouldn’t go for 22” wheels if you are going over anything but very smooth road.

    A plus with the heated steering wheel and tow bar, but the rest of it... and I’ve got most of the other stuff, i wouldn’t get again, including the black headlining. Each to their own.

    Fair comment but I'm particular sensitve to small wheel syndrome. Basically I'm a bit of a wheel diva!

    Also, coming from an Audi with granite for suspension and rubber bands for tyres I'm sure it'll still be an improvement.

    I've got a test-drive lined up for this coming weekend so it'll be interesting to see what I get and how it rides.

    Good point - hadn't considered those.

    Edit: At £1,141 they seem pricey when compared to the £195 Powerful UK charge for retro fit items. Would obviously have to fit myself though but it looks straightforward enough.

    2019 Discovery SDV6 HSE Lux Carpathian Grey

    I don’t know how this compares on a Landmark, but check out the packs versus individual options. On the HSE Lux, adding the HUD via the tech pack means that adaptive lights come as well - for far less than speccing the two separately.

    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Corris Grey

    does it come with LED headlights? If not these are a must have.

    wish mine had the black headlining just to be different

    and plus one for the sidesteps - I hated them on cars till this one as it keeps your trousers clean!

    mines got that fancy covering stuff on the windscreen which seems to be a good idea and the awesome stereo which again is a must

    On Landmark, for me, the packs don't make financial sense. Of the 5 packs available only 2 contain 1 item on my spec list - 360 camera.

    Yes the Landmark has LED headlights just not the adaptive ones.

    In other news I saw a Silicon silver disco yesterday, confirmed my initial thoughts on it being my favourite colour but at an additional £835 over Indus silver... well you have to draw the line somewhere.

    Also, I think Silicon looks best with the 5025 style wheels but they aren't available on the Landmark, not in 22" guise at least. They are available in 21"s (called 5085 style) and cost the same as the bigger 5011 style wheels, so you get less wheel for your money.

    Decisions, decisions!

    Ah, I see. On the HSE Lux, the HUD is £1080 and the Technology Plus Pack is £1150. Meaning that the Adaptive Lights and Solar Attenuating windscreen only cost £70 (for those of us that want a HUD).

    Update... I'm now thinking Silicon with Acorn seats as opposed to Indus with Ebony.

    Last 4 cars have had balck interiors and I fancy a change. Just not sure the light leather is a sensible choice with 3 kids between 6 and 9.

    Plan to get the car professionally detailed upon collection which will include having the interior protected but as an habitual wearer of denim I hear what you’re saying.

    I'm sure I read somewhere that baby wipes are pretty effective at removing denim transfer. Might be a load of bull but...

    Dr Leather wipes are great. Use monthly and all the Jean dye comes off easily.
