Should have taken the 10k premium the dealer was offering for your Defender and stuck with the ovloV.

That £10k is certainly looking attractive. SWMBO hates it and wants me to sell it. Thinks it’s too ostentatious and stupid money.
Anyway LR man has been and cleared a turbo fault. Currently seeing if the kit will fit in the Volvo.

Dealer buyback at a premium to what he paid originally, I think.
