Basically they broke it after 56minutes on the Army's Offroad Training Track at Driffield. A power steering pipe came off....................... otherwise they say it is a revelation and the ride puts many luxury cars to shame. ST had the 3.2 6cylinder on evaluation. Ummmm might have to reconsider the "sell the Def and Sport and replace them with a D3" line of thought. Might just have think about returning the Def to Freelander Sump Guard mode if it is going to be that good...................... but why no automatic versions until next year????? Mad decision, the auto TD4 was the best model of the old version as it didn't cook it's clutch offroad!

Here is the online link.

Thanks Tim.

Thanks for the link! Unsure whether the review is positive or not... That said, my current beemer couldn't last for five minutes on that track.

we should maybe be thankfull the auto is not coming to next year Tim it will give us time to see what else is going to break.
