But PHEVs are not fun to drive Muddy, I have driven a few as rentals and they are dynamically conservative. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

But when your getting on a bit in life like Muddy, you forget what fun is. It's the creature comforts in life that's more important.

Less than 10% of Outlanders suffered a fault; the areas affected were bodywork, brakes, engine electrics and non-engine electrics, all in equal measure. Almost 75% of cars were fixed in less than a day and all were fixed for free in less than a week.

Worryingly, 60% of Range Rover Sport diesels had problems. They spanned a wide range of areas, the most serious of which were the gearbox, drivetrain, engine and suspension. Not all cars were fixed under warranty and some were off the road for more than a week.

Some actual figures from a Disco owner who switched after a very impressive list of LR's too

Surprised to see Tesla so far down the listing, pleased to see Mini is higher up than Land Rover which bodes better for my next car............. 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
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Yes I was disappointed to see Tesla doing so badly

Swmbo had a Mini One when I had MY10 RRS and it gave no trouble and was nicely built  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

It does look like a mis matched comparison, older Disco against fairly new Outlander. What was the mileage covered by each?
A new DS would be fairer, no mot, warranty to cover parts and a 3 year service plan to servicing plus cheaper tax and insurance. No doubt the Outlander will be cheaper to run but does it really compete with the DS ? A better comparison with it might be a Honda CRV or a
Tim

He swapped a Discovery 4 for an Outlander PHEV so the figures reflect this and as I understand it same miles pa - If he owned Honda CRV I guess he could of done figures for that

I think I posted figures for DS against Outlander a while ago but will check - and yes the Outlander competes with the DS and thrashes it IMHO having owned both and so does the service from Mitsubishi Dealers  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

So he's comparing a 7 seater, with serious off road performance against a smaller vehicle capable of crossing a bit of grass or 6 inch puddle. Yes, he is spending much less on his motoring now because he has changed to a vehicle with completely different capabilities at half the price.

ADY, your still here, your still above ground.  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.

I'm always here SRE. Keeping a very close eye on you my friend.

Time we had a Milk Float update from you know who  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Muddy is too busy ticking off the days when he can get rid of his milk float without having to pay the government back the money they bribed him with to buy one.
I'm sure he will have already started his search for its replacement.

Nothing of interest to report - coming up for 15k miles/16 months with no problems and saving loads of dosh on fuel, etc

Still got 44 months of Mitsubishi warranty left and next 2 services covered on pack so not feeling like a change anytime soon but if I was it would be another phev for me - just checked value and looks like I'd lose £6k if I sold it private/£7k px which is pretty good compared to previous RRS and DS

Haven't driven the Lexus for months due to weather and hernia problem - depreciation appears to be about £2k private/£3k px if I decide to sell - once better weather returns and I recover from surgery I'll probably keep it though

Reading all the LR issues and depreciation posts I'm still sure I did the right thing  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

All sounding pretty good then Muddy, sorry to hear about your hernia, was you moving all your saved cash to a safer place when that popped out?

Hope you get well soon matey .
