Garage called today, Disco can be saved
Thank for that as I was already beginning to look at TDV8's and D4's, so can stick to my plan of waiting to see what the new defender will be like sometime next year
Should have it back in a weekish, well in time for October Camp
Have the Q7 to keep me going and will be taking mam out for a spin this weekend in Swansea
Only frustrating thing, is that I completely stripped it, so I'll now have to put everything back on when it comes back Iggy/Ieuan

Good news on the repair
Did your Insurers/Legal provide the Q7 or has it come from the the Third Party Insurer?

And Disco was in access mode also
Love the Q7, really quick, loads of smart kit, got around 40mpg yesterday up to Bracknell and back, has a 'sort of' command seating position but.............
No Soul with it
Can't put my finger on it, but doesn't excite me, even when in sport mode and throwing it around country lanes ( ), just not feeling it at allIggy/Ieuan
