Is this DVD comment relevant to all units or only upgraded?

Whilst u sit there, pls work out how to fudge the stereo and put mp3/wma files onto the HDD!

Chris - Can you not just use a memory stick via USB? I've got a Meridian USB demo stick which plays fine in Evoque and my RRS. When viewed on the PC they are MP3 files playable via media player. I appreciate you asked if they can go onto HDD but a USB is nicely hidden under the arm rest.

The FFRR managed to do the run from Stirling to Park Royal using only 2/3rds of a tank of diesel, it's the best fuel consumption. I've ever had from it - the trip computer average managed to click up to 36.5mpg while cruising down the mikes and miles of 50mph section of the M1 passing Bedford, by the time I arrived it was back down to 34.8mpg, not bad for 3.6ltrs of torquey twin turbo V8 pushing 2.6 tonnes of brick through the wind! I cruised most of way at 70 with the odd blast to get passed others!

Mine was the same on its final voyage. 22mpg for over a year, then as soon as its on the way for trade in: 30mpg!

They must know!!

James - that sounds like a very sensible solution! Thank you.

Daigriff - I have ordered a Dynamic 5dr SD4 Auto in OG, 20'' shadow alloys, pan. contrast roof and a few other toys !

cjfp - I guess your build will take longer as they will pay special attention to edging your matts !!

Well mines a Prestige 5dr SD4 Auto...will ask the question tomorrow night if the build date is likely to be brought forward...hope so.

Fingers crossed for you!

Where to put the DVD to play it? In the cd slot where-else might it go?

Dunno. Just the first time I've come across this so all exciting. Wonder if u can upload dvd's as this might explain some of the mkting docs that talk about the HDD being able to hold '10 DVD/CDs' as the space required for the two are very different. This new news has made me v excited.

I think I'll have to levy a charge for road testing and photographing my car, donations to Martin. When I asked the hotel staff about using the Range Rover parking method they asked if I could park on the street in front of the hotel so they could have a look and could I also demo the Park Assist on
Friday !
