Scroll down to 1988.... 8)

I have some issues with that. Chief among them is:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>1992: Range Rover LSE introduced with 4.2 litre V8 engine, electronic traction control and electronic air suspension - World first for a 4x4 vehicle [/b][/quote]

All Australian LSEs had 3.9 as it wasn't worth emission certification of the 4.2 for the small volume coming to OZ.

Ah ha - finally someone making sense.

Could it be then that the introduction of certain other technology was later in the Australian market than in the UK :?:

AFAIK no but we were always about a year late. AFAIK though the Borg Warner came in 89 with the 3.9. In UK some late 3.5s had Borg Warner apparently. Must have run out of LT230s on that day.
I haven't looked closely , but I think the LT230 box at that time had the two position high low lever. Ie right unlocked left locked. The BW only has a little lever with no gate.
