5.5 weeks as well, must have a good job.  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Muddy is unemployed..... Thats why he can afford a RRS and a new van and has so much time on his hands for long holidays.

Mrs Muddy gets school holidays now and I'm realising there's more to life than working and making money so trying to take more time off

I might not be able to afford another sport but at least there's a chance whatever I get next may be more reliable......... someone is whispering Audi in my ear  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!

Q7 Isn't there a new one due out soon?

Still got 2 years warranty left on sport so no rush but may look at Q5 next time

Future son in law just bought A1 and is pretty impressed - his dad has an A4 and has been very well looked after

To clarify only problem his dad had was engine blew up over 100k miles out of warranty and faced bill of £6k+ but Audi replaced engine immediately with an apology free gratis because it fell short of the standard they expected........ sure a few on here will like that...... mentioning no names........

I have 2 friends (hard to believe eh Ady ) who ditched LR's for Audi and only visit dealer for services now so take great pleasure in winding me up......  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

Would a Q5 be big enough to tow your tent Muddy? awd had this problem i seem to remember, so he chopped it in for the Q7.

As an ex Audi owner myself, i would definately go back to Audi, i keep looking at the SQ5, but can't find an SQ5 ABT model available. 360 BHP out of a 3.0 litre diesel Come on L/R, keep up at the back.

2 friends Muddy Have you been visiting the wall of mirrors in Blackpool again

Not checked if Q5 will tow the palace on wheels but in view of abysmal build quality my towing days may be numbered - buying a vehicle to tow is no longer high on my list of priorities - spending all my time resolving problems at LR and Elddis dealers is taking all the fun out of living  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

Chin up Muddy, don't let these things grind you down. Life is too short, and i'm sure Mrs Muddies ears are hurting by now too. I did tell you not to buy your current motor based on having to tow a caravan.

This is what i would like to get my hands on...

Having the long break even with the problems as given me time to unwind and see things clearly so I'm not down - just disappointed

I'm no longer prepared to flog and spend hard earned cash on stuff that is and have to make repeated trips to monkeys who make things worse

Ady - I drove that route in Monaco in my x type jag diesel and it wasn't as much fun  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
