England 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Graphite LE Auto Santorini BlackDiscovery 4
Wasn't away for long

More of a lurker than regular poster on here really, but been a member since i had a new D3 in March 09 but switched to an estate car in March this year. Although it cost less in every way and did everything I needed it just wasn't the same, so picked up this pre-reg D4 Graphite last Wednesday from Farnell in Leeds. I know it's a bit of a treck from Torquay but Farnell were brilliant and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody in the market for a Land Rover. The 460 mile trip home (via St Davids in Wales Sheep ) had me grinning from ear to ear once I'd worked my way through the "up north" traffic, especially when I took a wrong turn and the satnav took me through a ford Whistle .
Just need to sort towing electrics and privacy glass now.
