Thanks J77
Yes, we are all in the same boat am afraid. No test drive and deposit was paid in March last year. It's a stab in the dark but having been fortunate enough too have owned and driven all 4 previous models (in the family) am sure Land Rover have pulled out all the stops as this being a brand new model not to mention the price hike. With competition from the German and Japanese manufacturers am sure it will knock spots off them, especially off road. I have seen a few videos of the D5 offroading and they claim it's even better than the D4 which is awesome offroad. Having done the Dunkeld offroading experience in Perthshire several times it never ceases too amaze me what the D4 can do. Ha ha I would like too see the German and Japanese 4 x 4s even attempt that

OK thanks Mac
Yes you would think landrover would be pushing the cars out early for the new reg on March 1st
Ps not sure if you picked this up, but Land Rover website in December stated First Edition came with Television, having checked with dealer it actually doesn't. Disappointing for us because we use it a lot on D4.
Thanks for that Mac. Well when I ordered it back in November I was told it came with a TV. Am not sure how this would stand as it said in the online brochure. I have just been sent the latest brochure and am about too download it now so will double check. Really won't be happy if it doesn't as was clearly stated in the brochure that it did. Seems a bit crazy, screens in the back seat's and no TV. I would have thought would be standard as it's First Edition?? I hope the Dab is standard as well. Also stated came with 21 inch wheels as standard not 22s which we will get. BOOST
Plus I only found out today there is a Td4 engine available as well as SD4 engine. Was only the 2 litre SD4 available in November. I take it you have gone for the 3 litre engine. No brainer for me as I tow stuff as well, so for a car that big I was worried it may run out of steam if i went for the 2 litre.

As far as Im aware First Edition only comes with Td6 engine?? The SD4 engine is available on all other models I believe.
DAB is standard but from what I can work out the TV is no longer included. I agree seems daft to include the screens but not the TV. The D4 Luxury came with rear screens and TV so why not D5!?! -

Hi Mac your right. I emailed my dealer on Monday. After emails flying around all day yesterday I have been informed that I was looking at a non UK website apparently?? Well that's incorrect as I spent a whole week investigatiing all the models,plus I was in the Landrover Garage on their website when I ordered the car. I am so annoyed and gutted. That was the reason I went for the First Edition over the Hse Luxury. I assumed it had the TV as it clearly stated on Landrovers UK website and Landrovers UK brochure. Had I gone for the luxury I would have got the TV and saved 5k odd. As my cars on the assembly line they can't Add the TV. Plus it's not available as an extra either? Not happy and emailing Land Rover tomorrow myself. It definitely had the Touch screen Dual View and rear seat entertainment and TV. Appearently you can get the lesser models with a TV but not the Limited Edition Top of the range. Makes no sense at all. If this is the case will I get a refund of £1500 quid odd as cars same price now without TV and Dual screen than it was with it? Plus will front seat passenger be able too watch a Dvd whilst car is in motion or just a black screen with volume. Not even sure if I will get a dual screen in the car?? Looks like I will be cancelling my order of i cant get the TV fitted

Hi Mac, am in the same position with a family. When I specced the Hse Lux for the TV too work you needed the Dual split screen. Was 600 pounds odd in addition too 800 plus for the TV. So on the First Edition it would have too have the spilt screen in order for the passengers front and rear too watch the TV or Dvd whilst driver has access too the Sat Nav. It's a joke so much for 1 St Edition. Lower specs can have a TV but the top of the range doesn't. Disappointing
