Farewell

So, completely out of the blue this afternoon my folks phoned me and asked if I could pop over and meet them at our local LR dealer as my mum's car was in getting a software update.

Arrive wondering what they need, to find them standing my a 69 plate Disco Sport SE with 4k on the clock. Offered it as a Christmas present...

Kinda hard to say no to that one, so cleaning up my FL2 and off it goes to WBAC.

So, thank you all for all the help over the years. I've loved the help and chat on here. And most of all I've loved my Freelander 2. But it's 10 now so time to give it a rest. Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

Rolling with laughter there's only room for one financial drain I'm afraid. Learned to drive in 2011.

Seems some of us with DS still lurking around here, the forum is friendly and hopefully we can still help those new to aFL2 who might make the same mistakes that we did early days.
Enjoy the DS - mines a 68 plate and much better than the earlier model- don’t get me wrong I enjoyed the first one and it was reliable once the software was stable, but this is just better Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Well they can't take it with them! It took me 6 years to buy a new car as I was still happy with an 18 year old car when I finally replaced it.

Enjoy your new car. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
