I tow a twin axle weighing 1.6 Tonne unladen and sometimes forget its there

I worry I may damage the van because if anything I have too much power - especially when pulling away at junctions

I dont think the main reason for buying a sport is towing - it is for speed and handling - the towing is just a bonus  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable

2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

Very generous in my estimation

BOOOOOOOOOO Traiter
V8 Till i die  07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

if they still made a v8 sport (4.4 mmmmm) I'd have probably gone for that and ignored the 3.0 but they dont and didnt want a 2 year old car instead of a 3.5yr old one, not worth the trading...

Gobbles everything

Here is a picture of some TDV8 turkeys with some white SDV6 smaller birds. As you can see the larger bronze TDV8 Turkey is quite obviously in the ascendancy.
