Definitely no stamped book and I was told that it was online and therefore accessable by all LR dealers.

Whether true or not I can not say.

I did not know if we had access as well though.

I have been playing with the voice commands to initiate phone calls and navigation.

You can start a voice training session for two users which helps it recognize the commands.

So far seems good, it did work better after the voice training.

As this is my first LR I am not sure if this is old hat to you LR veterans but is my first car with this facility.

On another note. I am trying to use the standard LR tow bar. It s very low and I found my existing trailer ball mounts would not fit, they hit the spare tyre.

A visit to the local caravan shop has hopefully sorted that one out.

I also use a stonestomper when towing. I found that with the low tow bar there was a big gap between the car rear bumper bar and the stomper. This is not good. I contacted Christian from stonestomper who as usual was very helpful. They sell an extension piece for $20 which should resolve the problem.
I will post some pics if people are interested, next week after I get it.

Can we get to it through Topix then?

Not sure, I don't know much about Topix but there is a SERVICE button there. Whether it caters for Australia is another issue but I did find details of my car there.

You need a Mitch hitch. Christian gives great customer service.

Brett,
You are probably right but I have a few other things on the list and wanted to get on the road ASAP.

I am considering a Kaymar bar and SWC, if the money is there I may get one then but want to try the existing set up first.

I stand corrected, but in that case, it makes him even more of a tosser.

Why? It now looks like a new one and has cost him far less than upgrading...

And he's then been good enough to share it with the LR community...

Personally, the D3 interior is far more practical for offroad use whilst the D4 looks nicer externally...

He's got the best of both for a fraction of the price...

Those that keep upgrading are also throwing money away - so what's the difference?!
