My car is nearly six months old and I want an 07 model now!
Still, I was expecting the main trim around the stereo to be in a different plastic. Looks like they have just brightened up the bright bits.
Looking at the way the clock has been added, it should be possible to upgrade existing models by software.
So apart from the TV, you'd have to know a lot about D3s to spot the differences. If yours hasn't come with electric lumbar supports, then maybe they have kept this just for the RRS. Matt

Sorry, it does have power lumber, I just hadn't found it 
The TPMS valves are the same as normal ones so you can fill them up normally.
The TPMS button is there for you to press in for 5 seconds if you have a very heavy load in the car and you want the monitor to be a bit lenient with you.
The main changes I have noticed on the short journey so far are the different light positions on the dash. MPG showing in the 30's (never had this before) one touch indicators, less annoying pings and pongs and beeping inside.
Gear selector feels different to shift and firmer in sport mode. Engine sounds a bit more quiet.
Very pleased with it though

Just need to have a look underneath and make sure they remembered to fit the locking rear diff!

Oliver,
I got the impression that the interior changes on the 07 would consist of metallic trim around some of the dials (like the air conditioner controls) where there wasn't previously any metal trim. However, from your pics, it would appear that the metal trim isn't new, it's just brighter. Is this correct? Is there any new metal trim anywhere on the dash?
TIA,
Mark

Hi Mark,
There is bright metal finish around the dials and on the centre console etc but not on the a/c controls etc.
I have done 100 miles in the car today and it is quite different to the 06 Model I had before. The engine is definately more quiet. The fuel economy is better even in the running in period although I have been quite hard on the car. I noticed that the interior lights fade on and off, the rear view mirror is different, the ambient light that shines onto the gear selected area is bright white and makes it look different.
For a car that looks the same as my old one, I am finding that all the niggles I had with my old car have gone i.e. one touch indicators now fitted.
Well done Land Rover, I like it!
