Back to a Disco
After giving up my D3 in 2008 and going through 2 Fl2s, an Evoque and currently a 13MY Fl2 XS I've returned to the Disco.
The extra space for my 4 greyhounds is what prompted the move back. Hopefully about the 10th March I should have it, just waiting on the plate transfer. Can't wait
It was registered 6/12/11 so assume that makes it a 12MY

Cheers guys
Yep, it has the 8speed.
Car was originally at Pentland Edinburgh but was brought through to Pentland Cupar where I fell in love with it.
It's a 61 just done over 21,000.
I'll miss my Freelander but the Disco feels right.

I would say they are, here is a scan of the wheel options from a MY2012 brochure showing that wheel as standard on TDV6 3.0 Commercial, SDV6 3.0 Commercial and SDV6 3.0 GS

Very nice!
On a different note...
How was the Evoque?
Was it petrol or diesel?
I was trying to convince the Mrs to go for it. But she went for an Audi TT quattro instead.

My Evoque was a TD4 manual, it was a nice car to drive, not enough space for my needs. It was one of those impulse buys.
A few minor issues mainly with build quality, it may say Range Rover on the bonnet but it ain't in terms of quality or luxury. Nice car none the less though.
