    2017 Discovery Td6 First Edition Namib Orange

    OY reg numbers

    On way back from Birmingham yesterday and saw a load on D5's parked up in services with OY reg numbers and Jaguar Land Rover LTD on plates
    This was followed by loads more on the roads with same OY reg plates, are these all LR manager cars?

    Mine is OW, had JLR on the plate and is ex LR management. So prossibly,

    Were they all white ones ? If so then they could potentially be LRE cars.

    No were all different colours, the ones I saw close up were all HSE or HSE Luxury

    I parked in amongst them at the services and two chaps were just heading back to theirs, they had a good look at my FE

    Management cars are generally OE, OV, OY. Some others such as OW, but less common. A friend of mine had one, they generally tend to be higher spec but without some of the options (e.g. HSE Lux but no towbar) as they end up going to dealers as 'pre-reg' vehicles with limited mileage on.

    In theory, it should be pretty niggle-free, as any problems should all have emerged and been fixed during the period it was a management car... Another friend of mine bought an OY66 Evoque (many hairdresser jokes) and says that it's completely squeak/rattle-free and generally feels more 'sorted' than the other one that he took for a test drive around the same time.

    Mines an OY67 reg plate, its a lease car, so I guess they may have been for a lease company?

    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Fuji White

    I was wondering why the Bling Barge was so fully kitted out for an early 2017 HSE model. It has practically the full suite of toys and optional extra packages factory fitted... except a heated steering wheel or deployable towhook (it has a factory fitted removeable instead).

    It also had an unlocked KVM/RFA (Keyless Vehicle Module/Remote Frequency Actuator) fitted by LR in early 2019 enabling replacement keyfobs to be programmed. I couldn't initially work out why I could program a replacement fob with my IID tool where others couldn't...

    It's original reg is OY17 (I have a personal plate)...first registered March 1st, 2017...so very early. It was also extremely low mileage for the first 5 years of it's existence...the first MOT's recorded almost exactly 1,000 annual miles between tests...which is unusual in itself. The second owner (the one before me) put just under 60,000 miles on it in the 2 years he owned it, reflected in the MOT's.

    It's white, well fitted out, extremely low annual mileage and has the capability plus offroad pack with centre and rear locking E-Diffs fitted, as well as advanced tow assist etc, etc... so more than likely an ex LRE vehicle...

    Kinda makes sense now Wink
