Thread: Teach me your luxury ways!

So, it's luxury ways you want to learn?

Here is your foolproof guide:
1) Learn the snooty version of the LR wave (modelled of HRH QE2, of course)


2) Proceed on your official duties as you see fit

3) Fail to use wave to other land rover owners wherever possible. Especially defender drivers. How primitive.

Quite the opposite. After driving the 110 for years the Defender wave became almost automatic. I continued after getting the L322. Without fail the response was to stare in confusion or to ignore it.

Low Km pre TR Examples now come up fairly regularly for under $30k. I keep looking at them. One came up in Brissy no long ago. I was very tempted to go look.

What's TR?

I keep looking at '05-'06 td6 vogues now. Red book puts them at less than $30k.

Do I remember reading, or did I make it up - the GM trans in the '05-'06 was improved over the earlier ones?

TR is (similar to) the terrain response system thats in the D3/4.

AFAIK the non TR models still have traction control (if a wheel loses traction the brakes hold it so power is diverted to the other side) but you cant tell it what terrain you are in. The TR models use the conputer to adjust the preload in the centre diff (and rear diff if you have a factory elocker) as well as gearbox and throttle programming.

Ive no idea how much difference TR makes offroad.

In typical fashion when I start looking into something.... it inevitably escalates. While the early L322's with high Kms got me looking SWMBO pushed for lower Kms. Thanks SWMBO. Picked up a 2006 Td6 Vogue yesterday. 100k on the clock. Trans serviced at 80k, lived in a garage... just beautiful.

We've stopped overnight in Albury on our way back from Sydney. Glorious weather for a drive too. So far it's been a trouble free trip with nothing but smiles to report.

2006 - a very good year. Enjoy!

Wow looks great! Mines update MY06 (built 05) and just loving it!!! Had 116k on it , already now 132k..😣😣😣 can't stop driving it!! ☺
