Thanks for the positive comments guys, much appreciated. We've been out in it today, and each time we've parked up we've both looked back at it whilst walking away and said to each other we made the right choices on colour combos.
A few more things noted/found:
1. 'Small' size Diskloks don't fit the steering wheel (it did on the RRS), so I'm going to have to buy a new 'medium' sized one.
2. I've disabled keyless, so that gives me peace of mind. I was a bit worried the sequence you press into the key fob wouldn't work on the new gen cars, but thankfully it still works on MY21.
3. When I downloaded the in-control app, I noticed that I could pre-heat/cool the car and it would start the car remotely to do that. I was under the impression that function was the £1250 "Cabin pre-conditioning with remote control" option, but seemingly not given I didn't spec that, so what does that expensive option do above what I have?!?
4. "Animated Directional Indicators" - apparently these are standard on the SE/HSE, but I noticed today in the reflection of the car in-front that the Disco wasn't doing it. Hopped out once home and sure enough both front and back are a standard 'blink' rather than a 'sweep'. A quick look online suggests that they possibly need to be activated in the menus, but I've searched high & low through the settings/iGuide, yet nothing?!?
More of my ramblings/observations coming soon!

Did you have the wireless charging, if so what do you think of it?
Yup - it works perfectly. The reces in the cubby is a rubber mat and the charging recesss is a drop recess and big enough for my iPhone 12 Pro Max (and there's still about 1" either side for a bigger phone). You simply place it in and it starts charging in a few seconds. Pointless for me right now though because I still have to plug in for CarPlay. I've contacted JLR about when the OTA update that enables wireless CarPlay will be dropping, but my dealer says I'm not the only one waiting.

Am I correct in thinking that you could get your iPhone mapping app of choice displayed in between the dials on the screen behind the steering wheel - rather than the LR one?
Sadly not, it's currently LR maps only in the binnacle cluster (full width, or an options in the 1 or 2 dial modes. After seeing the media display on the centre screen, I was hoping Waze/GM would display in the map screens available in the binnacle, but no. That being said, it takes nothing away from the how excellent Waze is to use on the main 11.4" screen, the maps are huge meaning you see so much more of the route and upcoming tunes etc.

Pleased that is meeting your expectations
.
Have you managed to try out that Navigation yet ? , put a return to home route in yesterday while we were out to to test it and adjust the volume via the SW control .
That worked fine , but we noticed the warnings for safety cameras is very low and can't seem to adjust them louder .
Any ideas ?

Don’t speed? Then it won’t matter if you hear them or nor. -

Yup - on our way back home yesterday from the long drive, we were going along a 60mph dual carriage way which has lots of fixed cameras. I had both the LR Nav running and Waze running for the set route (in both systems) to see how the systems compared. The LR nav didn't warn me about fixed cameras until we were actually directly next to it, where as Waze was the squall warning from some distance.
Re the volume, my understanding is that you can only adjust the volume of alerts when the alert is being played, which you then roll the volume button on the SW or down by the gear selector?

@Roli (and @rupertjamie) - yup it 100% starts the car, I've tried it a few times and it all works as it described.

Took it back to the dealer today for a couple of things to be investigated:
1. 2nd Row buttons (on top of the seats to get into the 3rd row), and the recline switches (on the sides) on the 2nd row, were all dead as a dodo when I went to use them for the first time yesterday. The boot buttons were all working though, which was confusing so I put it down to a faulty sensor/switch.
2. No sign of the 'Animated Directional Indicator' toggle in any of the Pivi Pro menus
30 mins later...
1. In their infinite wisdom, Land Rover have (for some unknown reason!) made those switches part of the 'child lock' button, which I activated as soon as I got in the car (hence why they were dead as a dodo when I tried to use them). So in order for the kids to access the 3rd row I have to remember to open my door and press the switch each time I want to load the kids into the car, and then remember to press it again when I get in so the kids don't fall out! The more I think about it the more annoying it's going to be. Who in their right mind thought that was a good idea?!?
2. My car doesn't appear to have left the factory with them(!), even though it should have them, so they are dropping an OTA update tonight/tomorrow for the fix. Anybody else here with a SE or HSE see the option in their menu? (external lights>animation) If not, get onto LR, your indicators should 'sweep', not 'blink'.

The paid for option is the fuel burning heater. The standard option uses the engine for remote warming, which is not great for the engine, I guess. I use the latter all the same as it’s so useful on a frosty day.
Thanks, that makes a bit more sense. Although I'm not sure what harm it could do to the engine, I'd say it's probably a good thing because it allows the diesel/engine to get up to heat a bit more before being used, and the MHEV battery can be used to generate?
