I'm looking at a 2011MY it is a HSE Luxury Can anybody tell me what this should have over the normal HSE spec please? I'd like to hit the ground running when I call the dealer and pretend to know what to expect!

You get different front and side grills, different badges and some minor trim changes.

I liked the side grills, but it seemed a lot of extra £ when new for nothing but a badge... Mike

Just found this! Think these are the main extra's

The new 3.0 TDV6 HSE Luxury Pack priced at £3000 includes options valued at £5145:
-Contrast stitch
-Titan Grille and Air Intakes
-20" 5 spoke alloy wheels
-Premium LOGIC7 ICE
-Extended leather pack
-Heated steering wheel
-ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)
-New 'HSE Luxury' badge Cheers Laurence.

Have seen that on the LR website, but couldn't find it for you (damn iPad and flash )

I think you have what you need to know there Buster  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

sounds about right - although im not sure all of those were on the 2011MY Mike

You now have to ask yourself, out of that list what would you really like, and if they add up to £3k on the options list then it is worth doing. I don't see anything I "must" have on that list though....

Really Dave? What not even the New 'HSE Luxury' badge
I think the S/C wheels for me is a must have, the adaptive cruise is nice I had that on my S/C and would defiantly like that again! Heated wheel - well I guess I will have no need for my driving gloves now!!  Cheers Laurence.

Ok, I'll accept the wheels, don't know what the upgrade price is, but you can get brand new SC wheels with contis for £1600 allowing you to sell on the wheels it comes with. The rest is surplus ( even the badge, read my blurb at bottom of page, don't like them!! ) I do about 20 miles a week where I use cruise control, the ACC would be useless to me!
If it were me, and I wanted to spend that , I would get the HSE and stick a set of Overfinch Olympus on it!!

Dave, I notice you have flappy paddle's on your RRS! Do you use them, are they worth having? Cheers Laurence.

living on the south west of scotland the roads all around are twisty A and B roads, i use them when overtaking to drop down a gear, much easier to use than the gearshift, ( if the gearshift was a proper sequential, ie forward for down/back for up then it would be different) so yes they are worth it to me. i think they are standard on the HSE, i paid about £250 as an option. the only downside to them is that they are pretty much useless when the steering wheel is crossed up on tight bends, but as i said i mainly use them for overtaking, as kickdown is quite hesitent
cheers
