View attachment 15161 View attachment 15162 Well it finaly got the better of me and i took it were its belongs, every inch a landy this is a true landrover Climed hills like a goat and tackled deep ruts made by forrestry machinery with ease. The push buttons and dials take at bit of getting used to but thats me being a technophobe .
the v6 engine just ploughs on and on from being a doubter i should have known better than to doubt a disco would i buy one , i think ive moved on to pick ups as my work and leasure activitys lend them selve to a space on the back that can be kept totally seprate , this is a very very capable unit THINK I MIGHT GET THE WIFE ONE
BnT

Why oh why has landrover changed this shape for the new shape All look the same now range rover through to disco Landys should be square not rounded. Rant over
