2013 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Santorini Black

Just to be confusing 'style 19' is actually a 20" wheel - this one -

It seems that all the wheels have now been assigned a 'style' number - the ones Greg has are 'style 11'

GregP, that's what I call clean...
Having these ones myself...but I'm always in a hurry and using a sponge takes time anybody using a brush that he can recommend?...besides a toothbrush

JJ

They'd only been on the car for about 5mins there which is why they are so clean
I am hoping the wheel wax I applied will help when I come to clean them next.

GregP - are they polished or standard ?

they look fantastic !

polished

Are you upgrading from an existing RR? I bought a Tdv8 4.4 in January (after about 3 months waiting!), having sold amy last TdV8 RR which was just under 3 yrs old. I am keen to see if anyone else has made the same change, to compare notes. The engine is only slightly better, 30+mpg is'nt happening, the ventilation system has gone backwards, etc.

Badger, in my first FFRR. Car has done 300 miles and my average is 28.4MPG from 80% urban driving. Ventilation system is streets ahead of BMW.

Cheers Johnson. This is my 9th RR, so I am really just benchmarking against previous RRs, and the ventilation system is much poorer, noisier, lots of misting up, aircon ineffective etc. I thought maybe it it was defective but the dealer brought out another new one and that sounded/acted the same.
I am surprised there has'nt been more noise from people making the change to a new one, having the same comparator.
The dealer says it's "normal", but progress in this case, feels like a step backwards to me.

Very strange. I remarked how quiet it was. Don't necessarily take their word for it as mine hasn't displayed the characteristics you describe. Is yours MY11 or 11.5?

Hmmm. When was your vehicle built? I think 11.5 is from Jan production.

In which case it must be 11, as it was delivered early January.
Continuing misfire between 70-80 most noticeable. Sounds as if this is now a recognised fault, the local dealer have just done a re-map following a LR bulletin, but it has'nt cured it.
Should've kept my old one!
