United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Santorini Black
LR Experience Dunkeld

Was lucky enough to get a half day voucher for the Dunkeld LR Experience for my birthday last month and am going next week. Choice on the day was a RR Sport or a Disco 4. Went for the Disco Smile

I am concerned I'm going to come home wanting one though.... Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

While the D4 is a great drive both on and off road, the RRS beats it hands down Bow down

But, if it was my money to buy either, it would be the D4 Thumbs Up

I have no views on it but I have always wanted a Disco so couldn't really say no to driving one. Was tempted to try my own FL2 as well but would have had to arrange extra insurance etc and knowing me I'd properly break something! Learned to drive in 2011.

We had a half day invite to test anything, I choose the D4 as I was trying to convince the wife we needed a D3 at the time. It worked Laughing

2nd time was at the new RRS launch. Hugely capable car, would go places that a D4/Defender would struggle with, and all on road tyres too. Better fun off road, but if you are looking for an excuse to buy a Disco, then take the Disco. You won't be disappointed Thumbs Up

Disco every time, I personally don't like the Sport, the new one is a massive improvement over the old car but still not for me. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Thanks for all the replies. It's a nice drive up there and I'm talking a friend so it'll be a good day out. I was disappointed when I found out it was only 1 car but I'm sure it'll still be excellent. Never really driven off road before so I will likely learn a lot. Learned to drive in 2011.

The last 3 vouchers I've never used, the one for the Disco is still valid but doubt I'll use it. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I would be happy to make use of any vouchers that might otherwise go to waste. I am trying to help my girlfriend build enough confidence to drive my Land Rover and we still have a bit to go yet. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Was there today and as someone who has no experience of off road driving it was a brilliant day. Obviously I now want a D4 but what was good is the guy kept explaining how I would approach something in the FL2 or what setting to use etc which was very useful. Got a few things to try tomorrow Smile

Pricey but certainly a good morning out. Learned to drive in 2011.
