I lowered my fullfat and the improvement in handling was great.

It's funny all your negative points are what I miss.

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Cairns Blue

I tried lowering mine, the ride is harsh and not very nice.

TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈

I dropped it to the floor and it was awful but ended up just adjusting it to -25mm lower which gave it a good balance.

IMO that looks mint, just how I'd have it!!!

I'd go back to a fullfat tomorrow.

England 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Orkney Grey

I have had TDV6 (2.7) Disco 3 and a SDV6 (3.0) Disco 4. The 3.0 (6 speed box) was noticeably quicker so I wasn't expecting too much from the 3.0 SDV6 in the Sport despite the 8 speed box; how wrong I was! I tend to use the paddles with dynamic and sport selected and I keep surprising myself in the 20-70 mid range. It feels so much quicker (and imperceptibly quiet with it) unless you really nail it, when you get a decent grunt (albeit not a V8 grunt). I've had proper fast cars but this is just lovely - effortless. I tow a twin axle Swift Challenger 550 (pretty heavy) and don't really notice it except up really steep hills when the mpg drops into low single figures. I even towed my 10 ton traction engine with it a short distance in our yard - no problem. All in all it is more than fine and more economical too and less weight over the front end gives you a better (if not Evo 6 level!) turn in when pressing on. Good luck choosing! HSE Black - Orkney Grey, ivory leather, privacy glass, tow bar. GBNF - Discover 4 XS Nara Bronze (11); Discovery 3 HSE, Zermatt Silver (57); Discovery 3 HSE, Buckingham Blue (55); Volvo V70 Titanium SE (53); Audi A4 1.9 TDI SE, Denim Blue (02); Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6, Black (99-V); VW Corrado VR6, Red (92-K); Toyota MR2, Racing Green (94-M); Nissan Sunny GTI, Red (92-K); Mk1 Toyota MR2 T-bar, Red (89-G); Citroen AX GT, Red (87-E); Talbot Horizon, Snot Green (83-A, I think).

Well....that's a no then. According to the "salesman", a 2009 Sport is worth £7800 more than a 2010 Vogue. That will be a no then, time to cast the net wider. What I did learn is that I couldn't live with V6 of any sort, so V8 it will be Bow down Bow down 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
