Spec Change
IF i wanted to make a change to my spec (poss looking to drop from Adaptive Xenons to 'Std' Xenons), should my dealer be able to tell me what effect that would have on my dates BEFORE actually putting the change through 'officially' ?

RE: Spec Change
+1 Defender, missed them when I went from the RRS to the FFRR Vogue which didn't have them. I would sooner loose the fancy mats and the Pano roof than the adaptives................ unless of course you never use multi-storey car parks and don't drive at night!

RE: Spec Change
What is the reason for wanting to change them? Save money or other? I must say I have never had the pleasure of adaptives, but if I had to choose between them and a pano roof as Tim mentioned the pano roof would win for me! But on the other hand if money was no object I'd have the lot!
As for dates, I'm not sure your dealer would know the effect until it is put through the system. I have changed my order 4 times with no change of dates so far, but with the xenon issues at the moment who knows!

RE: Spec Change
Tim,I have specced every possible extra except the Plus seats. Have you too got all "the bits"?...I know you have the plus seats already.

RE: Spec Change
Only factory options NOT on my car are Smokers pack, Solar attenuating Glass, High Beam Assist, metallic paint, Park Heat and space saver spare. Being a Plus car I couldn't have specced RSE even if I had wanted it.
The things that will change your build date would be changing body style, engine, colour, pano roof, possibly contrast roof and deleting previously specced Xenons from a Pure. All the rest can be done on the line or at the pre-assembly stations ..............

I guess there is not much need for solar attenuating glass in Scotland 
P.S no offence meant

That was exactly the reason for not having it!
