Hi Jools, long time no talk......hope you are well.

What sort of money were they asking for the 2017 and what spec?

Tried selling mine on Carsale, as I hardly ever use it (due to buying a work ute) but too many tyre kickers and not enough buyers.
Buying a caravan soon so decided to keep the Rangie for towing. Wife is happy too!

Cheers, CRaig

Dynamic should have an e-diff.

Yes, that's correct.

There are two types of dynamic that confused me when I was buying, One is a paint scheme and the other is the automation.

All SDV8's have the Dynamic automation standard.

yeah, I suppose the best way to know for sure, aside from checking the rear diff itself, would be to look at the 4x4 info screen.

Thoughts (and Topix info? [bigwhistle]) on this?

It looks like a nice car. You'll have to cross check the fitted options as the dealer has just ticked everything on the list (e.g. 825W and 1700W Meridians/ 3 different trim options/ 3 zone and 4 zone climate - looks like 4 though).

From what I can see in the Pics at seems to have a good set of options fitted.

You can't rely on Topix. Sometimes the dealer forgets to update services in the system (happened to me) and as you say, servicing could have been be done by an independent.

You could ask for the full history to be provided or use it as a bargaining tool to haggle on the price.

FYI recommended schedule is every 26K Km / 12 Mths which ever comes 1st. Many do a "health check" service at 13K Km i.e. oil and filter change mid point between services. This car is coming up for its 5th birthday in March.

I've attached a maintenance check list from a W/S manual I have...might be useful to help you understand what should have been done through its service history - you'll need to convert from imperial to metric:

It's pretty loaded:
4 zone A/c
DAB radio
Massaging seats
Sunroof
Meridian Sound
Front heated screen(I think)
Heated rear seats
And it's not white....
