Hi there. We collect our SE Tech TD4 in Orkney grey on 1st Sept. and I've opted for one from the network as this colour can not be ordered now. It is the spec we want apart from the spare wheel but for £180 I'm not complaining. Especially when the dealer told us it was a full size alloy! To buy one separately would set us back approx. £600! Is it really the same wheel as what's on the car? Thanks in advance...

Hi we're picking our SE tech td4 on 6th September, the full size spare is one option I wanted and couldn't get so now on the look out for one. Instead I have the instant mobility kit.

Alloy is full size & matches others on car.worth every penny. SD4 HSE Lux Orkney Grey,Full size spare tyre,Ugly kid glass.

Thanks for the replies. Also, does anyone know if the SE Tech has armrests in the front? I know they are fitted if you choose electric seats but thought I'd read somewhere that they are standard on this model?

Yes you will  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Arm rests standard but not electric seats shame you couldn't get full size spare @ 185 quid it's a bargain Freelander Se Tech Orkney grey td4 manual 2014

Its not always the same alloy, my wifes uncle got a full size black steel wheel with his my13. Mine came with the full size alloy spare though.

^^ Sounds like a bit of Dealer malpractice to me ^^ Foraging near Gaydon....

I think , from memory, quite a few people ordered a "full size spare" and were surprised that it came as a full size alloy and not a steel wheel. It all depends on the wording but I don't think the important word 'alloy' is stated, I may be wrong though.
Mine, now has the instant mobility system, who dreamt that one up.

I imagine a serious puncture would go like this...

Spend ten minutes faffing with the compressor and foam
Spray foam into tyre and watch it leak out everywhere
Ring LRA and ask to be taken home

Mmmm yes . I had a puncture last week. Fortunately I noticed it when I got to work, which is 5 mins walk from my lr dealer. Drove it round ( there was still a bit of air in it). Left it with them for the day and was fixed by end of day -£25 for puncture repair and they washed and valeted the car as well. Pretty good. First service this week - so that will be dearer!

Thanks again for your inputs. I'm hopefully looking at the car this week if they've got it in so will check. Good news about the armrests and fingers crossed for the spare alloy. The salesman did say, if I didn't want the spare, he'd take it out for their stock and put me a mobility system in. Can see why now!

Did he purchase the car from new? If not the previous owner or the dealers if a demo vehicle could easily have swapped it!

I would get a copy of the "vehicles inquiries - display details" form! Any LR dealer will be able to provide this for you and it shows what the car had when it left the factory! As others have stated I would be extremely surprised if the form actually says steel spare  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Point noted and i'll bare this in mind when we view the car, hopefully tomorrow. Watch this space...thanks.
