Thread: Pre Delivery Check / known issues MY11?

Don't know anyone with a MY11 yet. Pick up mine on Monday. MY10 ironed out all the problems. MY11 will be perfect.

I am expecting delivery of a D4 mid November. Am I correct in assuming that factory builds in the past few months and into the future MY11 plated?

It will have 2010 build & compliance plates but it will actually be a 2011MY car.

So what is the definition of a MY11 car anyway?

VIN's descibe the vehicle model year on all European Cars.

SALLAAA139A123456 is a 09MY
SALLAAAF3AA123456 is a 10MY
SALLAAAF3BA123456 is a 11MY

Regardless of build & compliance.

The 10th digit depicts model year.
9=09MY
A=10MY
B=11MY
C=12MY
etc.etc.

11MY goes into production in the UK in Aug/Sept, therefore any vehicle built from this date will be the next model year.

HTH Cheers.

Many thanks

Only initial issues with our D4 have been a couple of tiny cosmetic things - some surface scratches on the plastics below the steering wheel, and a weird little extruding dent in the rear pillar near the tailgate, which is obviously a manufacturing thing and LR are happily fixing under warranty... Won't complain if that's our only troubles!
Oh, and have had to buy darker-tint sunnies to be able to look at the Fuji White!

3 weeks in and no problems at all with the MY11 HSE. Wasn't possible to try out all features during the dealer hand over, took most of the next weekend to try all of the HSE gizmos. Everything seems to be working, even the voice control.
Current "Party Trick" is to tell "Navigation, I'm Hungry" and have all of the local restaurants pop up on the Navigation screen

My recommendation is to try the basics on Dealer hand over, then spend as much time as you can in the first week with everything else.

And yes, the Fuji white is very bright
