new today
Well after after buying a new Defender last Sept i couldn't handle it any more and had to come back to a Discovery
The 1st was brought in April a 12 plate HSE that was handed back to the dealer 5 weeks later due to both dealer and car problems so exchanged under the Used Approved scheme.
We then brought a 14 plate HSE which broke down 6 hours after getting home and then spent the next 5 weeks in the dealer more than on my drive , it then broke down on holiday which was the last straw with that car.
At this point the dealer had a car parking space with my name on and an invitation to there Xmas dinner, I then looked at going to a different brand altogether (Volvo) but couldn't bring myself to leave the Land rover brand after having so many previous Land rover that had gone well and thought the last 2 were just bad luck.
After then meeting with the dealer principle they found some HSE cars in stock for me to choose from and one was delivered next day for me to look at.
2 weeks later after the wheels had been powder coated, black pack added and electrics etc
this is it in the new Waitomo colour

That's interesting about the sat nav screen update. Is that a standard fitment? Very interested to know what to expect on mine.
Glad you stayed with LR! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

2017 to date: FFRR SDV8

Love the colour and the black pack really sets it off.
Been considering black wheels on my Stornaway, think you may have made my mind up I started off with nothing and Ive still got most of it left.

the spare wheel cover, is that LR or 3rd party brand; how does that compared to RLD version?Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!
