At the start of October I have a free half day LRE at Coniston Hall, North Yorks and have asked for a RRS this time

do you think they will have the 3.0 TDV6 MY2010 by then The booking agent thought so

If anybody would like to join me I'll should have a spare seat or two aswell

If not you could always try their D4. The only Disco 4's that will be available with the 2.7 will be the commercial and the XS manual, all other D4's will have the 3.0ltr and will be automatic. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care

No problems Wozz, i'll bear you in mind

Date is Weds 7th October 2009 in the afternoon as they didn't have any weekends free

I have been putting it off for quite a while hoping that they will have the new model RRS in, unfortunatly this is the last cancellation I can do or i'll loose it.

I have done a FL2, Disco3 so thought the RRS will be a change

Leave the best till last.  2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

i'll let you know how good it was

How did you get a free half day LRE? Where do you buy these experiences from?

When I bought my BMW X5 the dealer gave me a weekend away in a top class hotel, ideal for my mistress and I

Got sod all when I bought my RRS.  Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"

Ignore the question about where to get the LRE, just looked at the owners guide and it lists all the web/contact info. Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"

Went on the LRE, but didn't get chance to take pictures, they would have been crappy iphone ones anyway

3.0 RRS HSE was the car very comfortable, smoother than the TDV6 & TDV8 i have driven and seemed a lot quieter to me on the road section.

Did a flying start in it as requested by the instructor and boy does it move 0-50-0 again, using the cars sand mode and left foot braking and ABS to stop, they said it was just slightly slower than the old S/C.

Off road it did everything the same, though the surround cameras are superb for watching wheels on to narrow sections and the parking assist of the reversing camera makes reversing into parking bays easier, even showing where the car will be in relation to the white lines.

Towing assist looks to be a great feature, letting you select what your towing, caravan, trailer, horsebox been a few of the selections.

Over the offroad sections the engine didn't struggle one tiny little bit, using 2nd gear for up and 1st for down in command shift. going over the metal ramp were 3 wheels end up on rollers and the car is still pulled up by the one remaining wheel is impressive, but i don't know if the normal set up would do that as these had 2 diff locks.

The dashboard display screen showed all the usual bits, but is black with white writing, if found it ok to read, but if the sun was on it a little difficult and the instructor said some find it difficult all the time.

Overall the cars interior is vertually identical, but the changes that have been done have improved it lots.

Slight down side was i had to drive my FL2 back home, and i ain't able to swap that again so soon on the plus side there will be more 2010MY cars or newer on the market when i do

I'm glad nobody took me up on the offer to come along, as i wouldn't have had as much time behind the wheel, a time i enjoyed 100%
