What's the laws down under regarding privacy glass on the front drops only illegal of you get caught

In the UK you can spec cooled seats for £500 if your model does not already have them as standard

Quite a few cars seem to have fairly dark front windows but still lighter than the rear windows. I don't know the %.

Cooled seats are not going to help. It is the initial contact when you get into the car that a layer of skin is removed. I will leave a towel on the seat. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Oh yes J! My only criticism about the FL2 really is that that heated seats have two levels of heat intensity which lets be honest yes take the chill off the seat but never really go burning hot Unlike the disco which has a toasty three Even the D2 seats have to be turned off as if feels like they will catch fire

Wonder if the DS has two or three levels of heat intensity  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Unless its stated in other handbooks, nowhere does it state in my owner manual that a spacesaver has to go on a particular axle, only to ensure DSC is turned off and other than the latest Haldex I don't think the 4WD system will have changed in this new car other than cosmetic.

That's a very interesting comment Ed, many people complaining about the price, but ordering the top spec model?

I think it has two ideal target markets Mav from LR's point of view

1. Those with disposable income will spec top end models without even really paying much attention to the specification levels across the range.

2. Those who cannot buy a brand new discovery. An MY15 SE full fat (sounds weird calling a disco that ) cost £41595 IIRC.

A DS HSE LUX manual is £41195 and auto is £42995.

So a top spec manual DS is still short of £400 against its big brother which is only a basic model - Christ it doesn't even have leather seats for that price

The auto HSE LUX DS only costs £1400 more than the entry spec full fat.

At the end of the day as we all know it's nice to have the toys but essentially the running gear is the same underneath!

Still tempted by a full fat Disco SE but get more for my money on the DS but my current D4 is a GS which has nothing on it, which doesn't bother me as such it does what it says on the tin. I think the new SE has a tiny bit more.

Why dont you be a good boy and wait for the new Disco to come out and then snap up a current range new one! Im sure LR will have some sort of offers on to clear stock might even get a good deal on a SE Tech  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I understand that the reason we can't have privacy glass all round is that the EU specified that cars have to be the same across the EU. This mean that a car in say Greece, where all round tinted glass would be a good idea in the summer, would be unusable in the north of Finland where it's dark and cold for half the year. The compromise is dark at the back and clear at the front. Makes sense ? (no not me either)

Don't think it is to do with what you can see out, its down to the Boys in Blue not being able to see in, you cannot tell who is driving, could be anyone

I thought the front could be 16%.....

Looks like it all started in 1992 with an EU directive

EEC Directive 92/22/EC glass tested in accordance with that directive meets the necessary light transmission requirements (ie 75% or 70%).
C&U# Regulation 32 does not specifically prohibit any window from having a tinted film applied, but a window with a tinted film which takes light transmittance levels below those specified above could be interpreted as contravening the Regulation.

If a vehicle's windows were excessively tinted by the use of stick-on film or a spray, there may be a contravention of C&U# Regulation 30. This requires that all glass or other materials fitted must be maintained in such a condition that it does not obscure the vision of the driver. Again, it does not specifically prohibit those windows from having a tinted film applied, but doing so could be interpreted as contravening the Regulation.

You should also be aware that C&U# Regulation 100(1) requires:

a motor vehicle, and all its parts and accessories to be at all times such that no danger is caused, or is likely to be caused, to any person in or on a vehicle or on a road.
