It’s been spoke about for a while though I won’t be touching an LR EV with a barge pole, in fact I doubt I’ll be taking another LR full stop.

They can’t get their software to work properly in their current range, and dealers try and pull the wool over your eyes by insisting there isn’t any new updates, but phase 4 with over the air updates has been out a while Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

Sorry rant over. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

mcsimmo - yes indeed. Just needs a bit of painting here and there, general tidying up and the engine putting back in. Chassis is galvanised. It was in full working order until it went off to have an engine swap, but the company went bust before the work was completed. Owner was unable do it himself so sold it. Jules

With Land Rover, Range Rover & Road Rover....common thread there...ROVER...one of these decades it might return I guess. Still have fond memories of so many of my Rover cars. If Jaguar is the Audi then is Rover the VW (or Skoda?). I would have thought that JLR need to broaden their range as the SUV bubble won't last for ever.

Interesting if LR move toward building a more standard car rather than SUVs and 4x4s, given the rush by every other manufacturer to do the opposite...

Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France

New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.
