disc 3 .... which engine?

Thanks Rich,
And Gav, I can PM you all the nitty gritty if you like..
It's something for which each of us will have differing priorities and needs, and so my preferences are totally subjective - otherwise we'd all have the same car!...
But Im happy with it so far, everything seems to work and I'm sorting the little bits that need replacing or buying so it can look new.
Will quickly learn where to get the best price on spares I expect..
drivers door seal, new rubber matts... the missing key I only found out about after the purchase!
I spent 4 hrs reading the manual last night and learning a few things.
Had to find out how to pair the bluetooth system off the net though.
the specs said I had 255/50 19" wheels - turned out to be 275/45 20".... not great for offroad, may need a 2nd set.
I rang the dealer in wollongong who carried out the last 2 logged services so I could get some infor on what's been done and what is due any recalls or software updates etc ..and was told they have no service history on the vehicle and cant give me any details?... I thought that info was kept on their TOPIx website according to thye VIN and accessible by all landrover service centres....
She suggested instead that I bring it in for a full service and have it checked out....of course.
might call another service agent to see what they can tell me.
regards
Rob.

I asked a similar question recently when looking at the D4 and was told that the privacy laws stop LR's work shops from telling anyone what the previous maintenance history was. They could tell me that all recalls had been completed and what spec the car was but basically nothing else.

As for Topix you can register for that and check your vehicles build history and what other stuff if you like.

Well if previous owners details were involved, it's a privacy issue. But if I'm just seeking safety and other reasonable service details for an object that has no privacy rights, that I paid for and am entitled to know about, rely on for safe transport and have personal investment in, then refusal to assist seems more commercially motivated rather than for any legitimate privacy concerns.
Surely the maintenance records of the vehicle are now my property since ownership has passed to me.
Perhaps this needs to be taken further for a legal ruling. It smells of commercial interest to me.
