If I understand it correctly, the 'approved used' scheme currently provides a two year dealer warranty on pre-owned vehicles bought from a Land Rover main dealer.

Did you pick up that all new Discovery Sport Autos will be Hybrid (with associated price hikes)?

So far (about 1,000 miles) so good.
They are quieter than the Continentals, seem to grip well wet and ... |
