Scotland 2017 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Corris Grey

Again based on my 2011 brochure adaptive cruise control was standard on VSE and AB. A standard Vogue or WM does not have it. I'm not aware of LR offering the facility to delete standard model features. Perhaps the car you tried is a "facelift" where some AB features (like the badge) have been put on a Vogue... I'd be wary of a dealer that either has been deceived by someone else or is trying to deceive you. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Germany 2012 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Santorini Black

I am wary, especially as Topix doesn't know the VIN. It does seem to have every thing else, though, including the leather-lined doors and dashboard, which I'm not aware are available after-market.

The Autobiography badge on the tailgate is already very corroded, however, as is the front grille. The black oval LR badges on the door cards have also become crazed. The quality of these parts seems cheap for such a pricey vehicle. 2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 automatic (LHD), Santorini Black

That all sounds dodgy. I have never seen crazing on LR badges, my last 322 was over 9 years old when I sold it ("just" a Vogue mind) and the badges were perfect. My 2012 car, which has suffered corrosion in various places, has perfect badges and grille. Door cards and other components could come from a "donor" vehicle, maybe even "geklaut".

if you have the VIN you could go into the LR Customer Relations segment of the forum and send a PM to the LR representative, called Amellia I think, and ask what that VIN brings up. Only Range Rovers since 1988

My AB badge had gone dark and lost its shine (when I got it at 4 years old) so I bought a new one to go on. Be careful when you purchase one to put on as the new model has smaller badges. 2005 L322 Vogue Gold gone

By "adaptive headlamps" do they mean the feature where they the lamps point in the direction of steering or the auto-dip feature or something else? 2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 automatic (LHD), Santorini Black

Thanks mjdronfield.

Another question: Is there an equivalent of the check control button on the digital dashboard? Prior to the digital dash the check control button protruded out of the binnacle and recalled previously displayed error or warning messages. Is this function still available on the 10-12MY models? 2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 automatic (LHD), Santorini Black
