Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / May 2006SE or HSE
Morning all, Have been toying with the idea of a 4.6 HSE for a while now. LAst night, went to see one, which turned out to be a 4.0 SE. However, it has recently had a brand new 4.6 fitted, and would come at a good price. So, what toys are missing from a SE compared to an HSE. Electric Seats Seat Heaters HK sound system. What else? Thanks. David > Morning all, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > What else? Sunroof Larger wheels Driving lights (I think) Steering wheel stereo controls Footwell lights(?) I thought heated seats came as std on all the V8's? I think it all depends on the year as well because they made some changes as they went along to the spec - particularly in 1999.

The HSE has side body mouldings, allsorts of little gizmos like dipping side mirrors etc. They can also have Harmon Kardon stereos etc. Best have a look at one first!!

That's true! well, maybe the passenger side one might. |||| Not sure about the seat heaters, did not notice them, but wasn't |||| really looking.

Bit of a struggle to get her in - she's 92 and insists on keeping her walking stick and handbag in her mitts at all times (that's relevant), and the passenger seat is a bit high, so it was a bit of a clamber to get in. We had got about a mile down the road and she started wiggling about in the seat. A couple of minutes later, there was a small voice from my left - "I think my - er - something's getting warm!" "Pardon?" "I think my bottom's getting warm!" "Well, it's a nice day..." "No, I really think my bottom's getting, actually it's getting hot!" Check seat heater buttons - sure enough she had pressed one as she got in. I told her what had happened (her last car was a Triumph Acclaim, where a working engine was cost option, so she doesn't understand these newfangled things) and she burst out laughing. "You've turned on the heated seat, dear!" "No I haven't" "Yes you have" <cackle cackle> "Really?" Then she muttered something about looking forward to smoked ham for tea. I think she's with us for good now - the temporary stay after her house fire is turning into a long gig. Thank God she has a sense of humour.

On both axles from 1999 on more models as I recall. Regards, Matt. ||| Depending on year, you may be missing traction control on one or ||| both axles... only occasionally a problem off-road, IME [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] || || Matt. You're right. Rear-only TC still pretty good in the mud, though.

Rear-only TC still pretty good in the mud, though. Indeed it is. I can attest to the frustration of not having it in my 4.0; if you play in the mud, you'll be much happier in an HSE (*a* HSE? I'm never sure...) |
