I couldn't get the 13my freelander 2 HSE auto anywhere near as good as the sport!

It's not done 35 for a while but it's happy at 32/33 Mike

Well after the amazing 35 mpg solo just done the same trip with van - 18mpg Big Cry

This is worst than the TDV6 and couldn't decide what gear it wanted - 7 or 8 - ended up pulling in for fuel with van on which I hate and thought I had reserve when I set off Banging Head

Oh we'll - still the best way to pull a caravan though Cool 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

Private land, so you have a share in the M25 then Whistle 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.
