ok cool, giving it a run once a month even week not a huge issue! Plenty of people who would be able to drive it. Just not me. Ill just sit in the back and act important . So would it be better to leave the EPB off? |

On both my RRS's it has engaged itself after a while so there's no way you can over-ride it! As I mentioned above, with my TDv8 it hasn't been an issue so maybe LR have done some modifications. My previous RRS was a very early one built in March 2005 - 3 months before launch. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim, the Carcoon is by far the best option but I'm not sure the RRS, even with mirrors folded in, will quite fit, width-wise. They cost about tuppence a day to run and can easily be demounted even by fathers (like me) for a little local pipe-opener. Have a look http://www.carcoon.co.uk/ They do outside ones as well as in-bothie and can even be blue or red! Highly recommended, and, usual disclaimer.

Cornelius thanks for the info. the RRS would just fit inside with the mirrors folded but a Freelander2 or Disco would not! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Good Better than the alternative of taking it with you in a container, especially at Mr Maersk's rates! |

One thing to remember is to lock it down in access hight so the car goes to sleep, if not your battery will be flat in less than a week ... just ask Mrs Catt Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh
