Approved used, yes. Already told that the light won't be covered by warranty! But I think they will do it anyway.
The speaker is a tough one. Has anyone experienced a blown speaker?
If the light unit has water ingress thats a manufacturing issue and covered by warranty!
I've just brought a 2020 D5 and it has water in the light, its not failed yet but I imagine will and the dealer recon water in a light is normal

Only a LR main dealership could come up with that one

Try going from a Disco Sport to a D5, and then you can sense the cheaper quality of the Disco Sport. Alot noisier internally, cheaper plastics and a raspier engine. Have had a few as a courtesy car, and they are like chalk and cheese. Even the Mrs agreed, and she was glad to be back in her D5. Did not like the way the Disco Sport drove or handled.
I also had a FFRR and the D5 is on par with it in my opinion, quality wise. Alot quieter internally, with a smoother engine, along with a plusher interior.
With regards to the Grand Cherokee, I was in taking my Subaru for a service a few years ago. The dealer is also a franchised Jeep dealer. Was just having a nosey and there was a £60k Grand Cherokee in the show room. Nice looking black with chrome trim, very flash.
Anyway I asked the dealer and he said save yourself £30k and stick with the Subaru. Told me it's very nice to look at, but has a bad rep for quality wise. Looks nice with all the bling, but bits start to fall off and reliability issues are awful.
I have briefly had a Cherokee Sport, but it was useless, especially when towing as was only 2wd, with the Mickey Mouse lever to stick it into 4WD. Was glad to get rid of it and back in a new D3.
Just my opinion, but again the fan boys may disagree, along with all the armchair pundits stating LR are bad for breaking down. All these so called experts have never even owned a LR product I bet, so it's just pub rumours

.. the dealer recon water in a light is normal
Go through his lot, tell him to ' fill up the lights that are not up to spec'
I traded my D5 HSE Lux SD4 diesel and F-Type P300 at a RR P400e Autobiograpy,
and some change as well..
Since then ( october 2021, the car is 2019), I had a never ending story of faults..
Last faults :
- september 2022, rear seats and armrest frozen... .. waited until january '23 to get a replacement part..
Not a chip inside, just the top flap of the ski-hatch. Actuator on the blink, and then nothing goes..
So for 4 months couldn't fold the seats down, or risk not getting them up again..
Could make a nice pub-talk when some 99-gender person drops by,.. tell it that you sympathize with
its problems as you couldn't get '..any of seven up..' lately..
- since quite some time, probably last year winter, the High Voltage heater that heats the cooling fluid
to heat the interior and the HV-battery to an operational temperature, is dead. I only came to know
this when the dealer checked an other fault :
- an orange engine warning light. This was on since the actuator that controls VVT returned a fault code;
- one week later 'SOS not fully operational' .. .. on/off several times and days.. Finally while reversing my
audio went dead and I suddenly heared a voice "SOS operator, what is your problem" , I replied :
"..a dodgy Range Rover with random faults..". The operator : ".. don't worry, most calls are like
this.. " .. and indeed, 15 secs later it called again..
Worsed thing is, mechanic started "..I see you have a dashcam, you probably damaged the cables.."
.. and I responded "Well ask your colleague at the branch that installed it 6 months ago after replacing my front windshield.." .. they try..
So don't worry about water in your light unit. I wish I could swap my problems for that one..

Thanks ! So am I..
I remember the 'good-old-days' with my D3.. .. biggest fail were contacts in alternator that failed,
after replacement all good-as-new.. I did 100.000 miles with it, only regular maintenance..
It still runs, under Luxembourg REG.. there roadtax is € 255 pa, here its € 3850,- for a EU 3 diesel..

You lucky man..
But the guy driving my old D3 still only pays 14% of what I would have paid..
I drove about 5000km pa in the Netherlands, mostly up&down to Portugal..
New owner drives 70.000km pa in the Netherlands : his clients live here..
I could have emigrated to Luxembourg also..
