    D4 Ordered, now the WAIT !!!

    Been holding off ordering a D4 until now,can't wait any longer. Told myself that I'd never ever buy the first of a new model again after getting one of the first D3's. Learnt a lot with that one.

    Well the time has come, even though the D3 has been going very well and trouble free for a very long time now.

    3.0L TDV6, HSE White with Rear Diff Lock is now on it's way. End of August or September is such a long way off. Oh well, could be worse. Still got the D3 to drive until then.

    Discomanic.

    Congrats! I recently checked out a D4 and it's a beautiful vehicle. And the 3.0 litre motor would be a cracker!

    Sounds like this is a popular combination, I just ordered a 3 litre D4 in white (will be Fuji White by the time it comes) with almond interior and Active E diff to replace my D3. Only I have been told Oct/Nov delivery.

    Yes, White does seem to one of the most popular colours for the D4. (and not just because any other colour is an extra $1800 !!) White with a Dark tint just looks good

    I hope the new Fuji white is not too different to Alaska white, as the Alaska white really suits the car as you say.

    Just checked out photos of yours Next Door. Looks great. What Side Protection Bars did you go for? I figure if I'm taking one of these bush, should really protect sills and paint work if I can.

    (looks like I am going to spend the next 3 or 4 Months coming up with a shopping list of accessories I need )

    discomaniac.
    I put the black original protection tubes on. FYI, I purchased the black protection tubes, side moulding with silver strip, rubber-mats, rubber rear load space mat, under body protection plate, spare air filter from
    Famous Four - Independent Land Rover Parts, Accessories, Sales & Servicing Specialist - Land Rover Parts, Land Rover Accessories, Land Rover Vehicle Sales, Servicing & Repair in the UK.
    The parts were shipped with Fedex. With the exchange rate as strong as it is, including the freight I saved about 50% on the quoted Australian dealer prices.

    They don't have all the parts on their website so I got the LR part numbers and just emailed them.
    I must say the service was fantastic, I rang and spoke to them a few times and they were extremely helpful. Delivery only took a couple of weeks even allowing for the flight delays because of the volcano.

    Big parts like roof racks work out about the same price as here, as the freight is expensive but smaller items like mud-flaps and the like, you cant beat it.

    Happy shopping. Hope this helps.
