• Steering Wheel buttons Retrofit / upgrade from 2017 to 2020

• D5 Commercial or Traditional

• I think I’m right in saying they build it as a normal vehicle first then convert it once it arrives in UK?
  But other than no back seats/rear conversion, they are identical. But technically they sho ...

• D5 - Which 3.0L TD6 or SD6?

• I agree it may not have needed the oil changes, but if new £70k machine under warranty requests an oil change, that is effectively the same as need. Particularly when dealing with Land Rover!
