I will have had “my” D5 loaners for 2 weeks tomorrow, with no end in sight; it might be “several weeks” before I see a proper Land Rover or Range Rover again.
So in a terrible twist of fate, I may be able to legitimately start posting away on disco5.co.uk, in what is likely to become my and DG’s worst nightmare! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
