Thanks Wizking. Hey, I have a Wood Company armrest in the post. How are you finding that? 2012 DISCOVERY 4 GS AUTO ORKNEY GREY

EXCELLENT Thumbs Up

Tuesday is so close and yet so far away for me Big Cry

Apparently, the armrest in my XS was fitted by the original owner as an optional extra so it is an LR accessory. If it did not have it, I would have paid for the wood company one I think.

How are you finding the difference in performance with the extra power by the way? 60 plate SD4 XS, Stornoway Grey, Arm rest pack

Roll on Tuesday! WooHoo!

Thumbs Up

Looking forward to the armrest arriving, can get really tiring on long drives without one. 2012 DISCOVERY 4 GS AUTO ORKNEY GREY

I am going to have to take it steady with the extra power but then I am coming from an FL1 which is a sloth on mogadon and compared to the FL1, my uncle's pre-facelift manual FL2 felt like an F1 car (with the notable exception of 1st gear Rolling Eyes ) 60 plate SD4 XS, Stornoway Grey, Arm rest pack

Looks great, like the colour-
Wood armrest is great, had a Loan XS the other day with armrest package- my wife complained LR armrests not as good as the 'Wood' one !!

The loan was a SD4 auto - very impressed with power and smoothness but not consumption

Know what you mean about consumption... Was hitting 42mpg in my manual, struggling to get 32mpg today and taking it easy. Hopefully that will improve as everything starts to loosen up. 2012 DISCOVERY 4 GS AUTO ORKNEY GREY

As has been said, the wood company arm rest is very good if only for added storage (I have my seat to high to rest my arm on!) although the wife likes it.
As for MPG, I'm averaging 35.71 over 3700 miles and just done 360 miles down to Cornwall and got just under 40.
