Tim - I joined the S2 club and been in contact with other owners who have been helping me search and you are correct

We've come to the conclusion I could buy a pristine S2 for mega money but a lot of the original features will be gone and replaced with what they found cheap making a Bitsa or I buy something original and spend time/money getting it how I want it - this is my preferred option now but I haven't got the time yet to do this so it's on hold. If I see the right vehicle I will buy it and store it until I have the time though  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!

However it's not my intention to spoil anyone enjoying theirs especially if they're happy like I was before - I am just here sharing with members I'd like to continue knowing, help if I can and I still have a soft spot for Landys

You're like an ex-smoker. Keen to push the good news about quitting to everyone they can but still drawn to the smoking shelter to catch a sneaky whiff of smoke on the breeze.

I agree about LR's prices. They charge like a wounded Rhino these days.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Muddy

Hair Dresser Blue a tad like BC, although he would have gone for opalescent nipple pink. 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.

Not sure they do a nipple pink - probably why he went for the BMW - I think they do a Richard head red  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

Muddy, can you modify your chart, add the electric costs
I must admit, you have got me thinking what to get next, do I jump ship or not  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Sorry SRE Fuelly doesn't let me add Electric costs but I spend between £22-30 pm on electric

I have kept a running total on my phone but it's away being repaired at moment so can't access them right now - hopefully I will be able to restore them when I get it back

Going to be interesting to compare running costs of Hybrid and PHEV even though they are different sizes  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
