Well,I've had my SD4 xs for 24 hrs and Have to say so far I am extremely impressed.The engine is very smooth,quiet and responsive.It's very comfortable with a nice driving position and handles very well.The only thing that I am finding annoying is the front screen,is it only me or are the heating elements a little too obvious?.I did have a freelander 1 many years ago and have to say it was not a good experience! so put me off coming back to LR for many years, hoping this time around things will be better,so far all the signs are good.

I agree Rob. The heating element is not subtle but it was an absolute god-send to me in our last harsh winter; waking up day after day to a hard frost blanking out the screen. At -4 it takes 90 seconds (front and rear) to break down the ice for the first wipe.
Like everything else, I got used to it and now look through the screen and not at it...

An embarrassing experience I had on my first service was when I reported the demist /defrost elements in the rear side screens were not working and I was informed by the receptionist these 'elements' were the radio aerial imbedded in the glass.... I really should read the instructions.

how about some pics?

I have just posted some pictures.Nothing too interesting.I have to say that the handover from Stratstone was very impressive,the car was under wraps in the showroom and pulling off the cover to a sparkling car was very cool!.Since these pics were taken I have put on a tailgate spoiler and have some side bars to fit also.
Will post some more piccys when I take some.

Anyone able to tell me how i can post pics on this forum? The pics are stored on hard drive on my computer and unlike well known social networking sites, there appears to be no browse option.

When I select img it just puts:
"Insert image: (img)http://image_url(/img)(alt+p)"

What on earth.....???? I have no problem uploading pictures on the TVR Club forum for my partner, so am not usually out of my depth on these things. SO many people post pics here, so what do they know that I don't?
