I found this description of the later model FL2 features interesting.

https://media.landrover.com/en-gb/news/201...eelander-2 FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 85k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 12th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

Well mine will not go 600 miles on a tank full
As said before really do not understand why HSE was fitted with halogens also no ventilated discs on front of mine nor a reverse camera (but that be an extra)

 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

“a sportier and more purposeful look”. Really?!

Where do they come up with these silly adjectives come facelift time? I suppose they make a change from the usual “fresher and cleaner look” cliche I can’t see how this car is “sporty” in any generation (thank goodness!) and I don’t seem to remember it ever having not looked “purposeful”.

I think, at some point, they mentioned higher quality / more premium feel interiors, but that’s obligatory for facelift launch copywriting, whether or not it’s true

Nice find and thanks for sharing all the same

On a slightly different subject, I am always intrigued by the various 'so called' road tests that newspapers, magazines and others do.
Most seem to be cut and paste jobs which contain identical quotes taken from the press releases like this.

In fact lots of other "journalism" we read is really 'cut and paste' using the original articles from the paid interest groups.

I think we saw this happen from the anti-diesel lobby groups. It has distorted the market before the electric car design and infrastructure is ready. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

Mines an HSE on a 63 plate, no vented discs or reversing camera on mine either
