Two-Month Production Delay for Panoramic Roofs...

There's apparent supply problems with panoramic roofs. My TDV6 HSE has been postponed two months because of sourcing problems related to glass parts. Any way to avoid the delay? 2013 RRS TDV6 HSE, fuji/almond - First in Finland to order the new model

Pay over the odds, someone will sell you one if you pay enough.
Or get in contact with a few dealers and see if you can get a cancelled order Smile ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

When were you originally supposed to get yours Jonski? Mine is a 21st Oct build date and so far all seems ok according to my dealer. Dreading the last minute phone call!

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Zermatt Silver

Well, maybe it can be done! I bought this Autobiography from a dealer last week. It was a showroom model. Originally I went in to finalise specs for a new D4, saw this , which wasn't for sale. However, apparently, they had a postponed/cancelled white RRS coming in, so they swapped it round and sold this instead at list with 22" wheels(extra cost) Chile with Ebony/ivory interior plus some Inchcape special paint protection (at extra cost though of £460...).
P/exed my 12 plate D4 HSE with 18k at £41.5k which meant a drop of £1.5k in 7 months and 7000 miles which seemed reasonable.
Collection next week!

This cost marginally less, depends on the spec. But I thought esp with pano roof delays, residuals may be ok in the near future.

Yes..think I know where you are coming from on this! I had a test drive at the weekend on a demo with 21" wheels which was fine, and I think the profile on the 22" is also 40 so hopefully it will be ok. Before the D4 I had a previous shape RRS tdv8 WITH 20" 40 profile tyres, but the ride was dire, so I changed to 45 profile which was better, but still way off D4/D3 comfort!
Anyway, with the new technology and improved suspension, plus being lighter, fingers crossed it will be fine!

Pretty much nothing me is going to stop me ordering those 22´s.... so at least if they feel a little bumpy it will be nice to know about it in advance and I don´t get any surprises Smile

I´ve got to buy a set of 21´s as well for my winter tyres.... so I do have backup if I really can´t live with them......
but i´m sure as you say they will be very sweet.... Thumbs Up 2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's
