Beggars belief why LR restricted the P400 in its home market to the X, when you can get it from the S variant
and up in many others .. yet another pommie bar steward down under

Maybe restricted sales here to allow more sales in markets where the diesels are unavailable - USA and China only get petrol engines no diesels yet. For the USA I’ve heard that there have been requests from people who have diesel RRS and D5’s stateside to have the big output diesel there too. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Marketing for things like this are usually set well in advance, so that would assume volume figures well above early run rate. Might it be more down to balancing CO2 emissions within EU?

That’s nothing Andrew, just wait for your first serious off-road, mines a D240 and I’ve seen 6mpg on auto-average for a day in low box all day so make sure you fill the tank to the brim before heading off into the wilds as you’ll be getting less than that! Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

Yes.. when it starts from cold it revs quite fast with a nice 'rasp' from the exhaust. The hairs on ones neck stand up. Then oooch you are off, its great using the stick to shift in sport. 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

Got the spare wheel cover colour coded to the car, having the matt black wheel arch protectors painted gloss black to match the rest of the car. Should get it all fitted next week.

They do look better colour coded. I think I’ll get my one done once it arrives.
