I am split between an 06/56 model with 26kmls, fully loaded with every extra inc dvd system and fully colour coded but no dynamic pack @ £32k or an 07 model with 30kmls (no sidesteps or colour coding) for £33k.
I know that the dynamic pack is the brembos and fridge but did the suspension change?
What will it cost me for sidesteps and to be fully colour coded?

What car would you guys go for?

I suggest you take my 55 HSE off me for £27K and spend the difference on all the extra's you want

Go for the 07 - then spend £1k getting steps and colour coding if that's what you want. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

BTW don't get LR to fit the steps as they charge £120 per hour. You can give 10forcash a shout and he'll do it at a much more reasonable rate. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

But then I miss out on the DVD That is a nice option to have when my wife drops in January. The brembos I am not too bothered about, its not like the RRS is a performance car! The fridge is sub £300 i think. Did the suspension change?
Colour coding could end up costing a packet i think, how much did anyone else pay on here?

The suspension system has either had Dynamic Response or not over the past 3 years, but the suspension itself is no different

Dynamic response, so this is an option then? I have not driven a RRS before so can anyone tell me if it is an option that is noticibly different?

I ran an RRS TDv6 SE on 18" wheels and no DR for 2 years and have now run a TDv8 with 20" wheels, LP tyres and DR for 9 months and yes there is a difference in the ride and handling. The SE had a softer ride and rolled/ almost wallowed in corners, the TDv8 has a noticably harder ride and corners dead flat. On Tdv6's if you had the DR option I think you also got the 20" wheels, but the fridge was part of the HSE spec. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Dynamic Response is a "good thing" but if you don't have it you probably wouldn't miss it. Once you have had it though, you would miss it a great deal if it was taken away.

Hopefully that makes some sense .... RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini

Yep, DR is just like a dishwasher in that respect
