Sold the D4...
Well after looking around at all sorts to replace the D4 I couldn't find anything that ticked all the boxes and something that I felt I actually wanted I went to see the D5 and although it is very nice in the front I just didn't like the way it looked from outside So the only choice left was to grab one of the last D4's a Landmark in Santanori Black, it was registered at the back end of last year but only had 5 miles on the clock, it has all the Landmark toys and the dealer had added a few extras like privacy glass and tow bar and electrics etc. I will probably runs this for a couple of years and then hope the D5 has grown on me or hope the new Defender is good.

Great looking, and in my humble opinion, so much better than the D5 which looks like a number of other SUV's. But then I'm an old stick in the mud and I like big and square. The D2,3 and 4 are completely unique and practical in design.2007 Disco3 2.7 tdv6 SE

Thanks for the comments guys I love it, will have to get some better photos if we actually get any half decent light. I was sad to see the Aintree green one go as I love that colour but the Landmarks are now few and far between so I had a choice of black or white, my daughter said you can either look like a drug dealer or a footballers wife (my apologies to anybody who has a white D4 ) So because of all the opiates I take I decided on the drug dealer look The only things I miss are the fridge, which I will probably get from Dan@Duckworths and fit and the automatic high beam which can probably be fitted also I would imagine. The dealer was Lloyds at Carlisle, who have been great to deal with and they have a few Landmarks left they also threw in the 5 year service plan which was good Cheers Ian
