Being risk averse and in view of the oil dilution issues with TDV6 engines reported extensively by members here and on the other Forum, I've been holding off placing an order until now. Finally placed an order at my local JLR dealer Grange, Swindon, Wiltshire last Friday 25th. Impressive new JLR dealership opened some six months ago.
Following spec:
Corris Grey
Light Oyster/Espresso Windsor Leather etc
Black Exterior Pack
20" 10 Split -Spoke Style 1011 Alloys
Privacy Glass
Electric Sunroof
Technology Plus Pack
Driver Assist Pack
Secure Tracker
Terrain Response 2
Heated Steering Wheel
Centre Console Cool Box
Cabin Air Ionisation
Adaptive Dynamics - added 1st Feb
Have been advised my new car may arrive in March, but I have my doubts. Given the recent JLR announcements about additional shut-down due to Brexit (8 - 12 April plus 15 - 23 for the usual planned Easter maintenance), I think delivery is unlikely to be before May.
I guess patience is a virtue but if anybody has any recent experience or intelligence I'd be pleased to hear from you.

I haven't been disappointed with my move from D4 to D5. Every time I get into the car she feels special, and is a pleasure to drive. I was very unsure before I ordered (more so than on any car previously), so I hope you enjoy!
Also hope you drove a wicked bargain from the dealer, in this climate
I was delighted with my big discount when I ordered last July, and can only imagine there's even richer pickings out there now!
Please do share pics when she arrives!

Hi,
I notice you say you have”black side mouldings” are they the sticky backed door protectors by any chance, if so got them on my D4 and have saved me a few times 👍

Yes they are - the genuine LR item, and this time they’ve stayed stuck. Had terrible problems with the D4 ones and ended up having LR take them off as three sets all peeled off!

Apparently LR are discontinuing Loire blue and Coris grey replacing it Portofino Blue and Eiger Grey.
I’m now torn between carpathian, Indus, silicon and fatal in black. Has anyone seen a farallon black in the flesh? It looks almost navy (which is what I’m after) on the configurator but black 8in pictures online.
I’m put dynamic pack with 22” 5025
Black is fantastic when it's polished but it depends how much you enjoy cleaning I suppose. Carpathian looks fab IMO on the FFRR so I'd guess it'd suit this car too and it's a little more forgiving than Black

Mine is farallon black. It's black with a blue sparkle. In some lights it looks black and in others it can appear dark blue or dark blueish-green. I like it.

Yes, I've got photos but the colour is difficult to accurately represent in a photo. If you go to your local dealer, they should have painted samplers that you can look at.
