If LR blood courses through the veins, there's absolutely nothing one can do about it but submit to its passion, in all of its forms.

You might be right.
Mind you I had a bad back for a few days earlier this week and SWMBO said I could get us a new car if it was the car seat not suiting me. Mind you, there was an implicit “but not one if that brand” in there.

SWMBO had a 90, 6 months ago. Too small and a host of other irritating things. The plus point was it went like stink. Anyway, it went back. Believe me you’ll feel a whole lot better, relieved actually if you do the same.

I'm back. No yellow taxi so I'll take that as a positive.
Parked up at home and its doing a software upgrade so that might fix the warnings. Just need to see if it fixes the transmission rumble.

If they're buying fridges and dishwashers for parts for their missiles, just think what they could harvest from Noddy. Mind you with LR electrics, you can imagine the havoc it would cause in any Orc weaponry to the Orcs New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

Ah, a city Defender. Shiny black paint, daft alloy wheels, strange side steps. If you'd got a country version with mud and stuff it would have been happier. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Like the D3/4 it's the ultimate / only do anything vehicle.

Dealer buyback at a premium to what he paid originally, I think.
Was speaking with a neighbour who has a mate who has recently taken delivery of a £150k FFRR, LR dealer offered him what he paid plus £15k as long as he didn’t put more than 1,000 miles on the clock.

Considering the time it took to get the vehicle…. Probably not worth it. Also if you can drop a cool 150k without blinking on a FFRR, unless you change vehicles like some people change socks (so once per day), do you care
