I rang them about three weeks ago..... did the whole signing
up thing, then the very last question "How many seats?" Over
eight = no cover, non negotiable.

They have different connections to the outside world on the back, apart
from that probably not a lot!

Letters on the end of LR part numbers don't have a standard
meaning. With a few exceptions (E for Exchange, L on the
end of bolts/screws) they are added by after market sellers
and are nothing to do with Land Rover.

The P on the end of the numbers above would probably
indicate they are Prestolite from Argentina, but thats
by no means certain.
