Ah, didn't know that, thanks Phil.

Am I right in saying that the fuel filler flap is still not locked when the car is? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that they'd deleted this feature because of the chip shortage for the BCM.

So does mine. MY23 D350 HSE
On my 7th RR plus various other JLR vehicles

I will cancel my order if the FF doesn't lock.

For the avoidance of doubt, we are saying it does lock?

Looking at the fit of the fuel flaps, you can probably fill up without unlocking it anyway.

Does anyone know why you can no longer specify the 23" wheels on a P400 SE or HSE, they're only available on the AB?

I find that strange that you couldn't spec them on an P510 AB but you can on the P400, going in to the dealers on Saturday, so I'll see what they say.

Hi Jase, there is a thread about the issuee that the PHEV L460 models cannot be delivered with 23" wheels: https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic62619.html
The P510e/P440e versions of the RRS can, however, be delivered with 23" wheels.
I personally think that the reason for this is the max load rating of the tires, and that the RRS has slightly different load distribution estimated front/rear than the RR, causing the RR to just fall outside the allowed max load limits of the 23" tires. (Scorpion Zero in 285/40x23 is rated 111Y, vs the 22" have a 114 load rating)

Mine locks but being a Hybrid the fuel tank has to be de pressurised before the flap is allowed to open so I doubt if this helps for a standard car with a normal (sensible) powertrain.  Current fleet:
2020 McLaren 600LT Spider
2020 Mercedes C300 Cabriolet
2023 PHEV 440 SE
1992 Lotus Esprit turbo
2017 Alpine A110

My P440e petrol flap locks and only unlocks when i press the button located below and to the right of the steering wheel. Its caught me out the couple of times Ive gone to refuel and end up looking a bit daft having to open the drivers door to press the unlock

My new March build 23MY P530 SV locks with the central locking.

It prolongs the fuel life, many phev cars do it as they could in theory run on electric all the time. MY23 PHEV HSE
MY19 Disco 5 HSE - gone
My16 Disco 4 HSE LUXURY - gone
My12 Disco 4 HSE - gone
