oh, mine is in the dealers to day.

Hopefully they can reinstate the off road nav mode - it was never there, I understand many DS owners with the meridian system didnt get this from the factory.

Hopefully just a SW update, as those that have this feature have later SW.

fingers crossed.

I used to have a Ford Galaxy and with three kids found that the best thing was to take two seats out, that way you could get some luggage in. They, of course were proper seats not the DS rear type which are only usable by children. There seems to be a marketing requirement for 7 seats now but I don't know who needs them unless you are taking lots of kids to school. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Seeing loads of discospotties around and about now. The look is certainly growing on me and some nice colours.

The latest updates now include the option (on HSE models and above) to add a superduper towing pack (with full size spare), surround cameras, wading depth gauges (kind of) and heads up display. Bumps the price up a bit to get those bits though.

I had a 65 reg HSE DS courtesy car last week for a couple of days and it confirmed my opinion that it's less practical than the current FL2, overpriced and full of consumer electronic toys that are really not that expensive to add at manufacturing stage but bump the price up. They obviously have the Chelsea tractor market firmly in their sights. One interesting point was that it sounded just like my FL2 and when I opened the bonnet I was surprised to see that it had the ingenium engine. I didn't have it long enough (70 miles) to measure fuel consumption meaningfully. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I hear they are getting quite a few customers trading in their Evoqes so they get a bigger boot.

Each to their own - there are things I don't like but then there are things I do like. Thankfully they have included a variable speed limiter in the DS - one of the electronic gizmos that is actually useful. Shame about the DS price hikes though...be definitely room for the Disco yeti

Yes we were in the LR dealer the other day and I can't believe that you can pay £104k for a Range Rover and £75k for a RR Sport. Where are they taking the brand? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Orkney Grey

I was driving a DS at the Cheshire Landrover Experience yesterday, it had the new engine and seemed so quite compared to my FL2. I even drove it with the windows open just to hear it. Room in the back was much better, as was the boot. It seemed well screwed together, with no squeaks and was comfortable. I did find that I was sat low for off road driving, but adjusted the seat up and it was fine. I am 6'1" though, so can see that shorter people could have a problem. I have the seat on my FL2 fully lowered, which I have on all of my cars. For normal road driving I was happy with the seat at its lowest setting when I drove on the road in January 15.

Would I have one. Yes. I wanted one when I got my Fl2. I just couldn't stretch the extra money. Maybe for my next car.

Gav.

What a crock of PR bullshit, LR wouldn't fit a heated steering wheel to my Disco but they will go out of their way to make personalised tread plates and gifts for some video.

Never mind though you will see me getting goodies when I take the first D5 off the line. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200
