34 towing? Thats insanely high! Id be tempted to keep that forever hahahaha. I do wonder if the DPF makes a huge difference to fuel economy? Does yours have one?

That’s not towing !! But driving around up here. The same engine in a RRS shows a bit more MPG but that might be the newer start/stop adblu addition ? Does that make it euro6 ? Think my 2012 Disco is only euro4? So worry about being banned from town centres .

I came from a D3 (had it 13 years !) to a 2017 SDV6 RRS last year. Not regretted it at all. Its a different world compared to the D3. Refined, comfort, speed, stability. Mine is a late HSE 2017 with Adblu/Stop/Start/Full InControl Pro so I think its a 2018MY build.

Yes the storage is an issue. There are stupid things you miss. I have been moving house as well and so not having as much 'van' space as the D3 I missed but everything has its compromise. The seats don't fold like a D3/D4 and you have swathes of leather to be careful of.

I also used to store kit under the rear seats. No chance of that in the RRS, however there is a lot under the boot floor. The door pockets aren't brilliant but work. I am guessing you are used to some as the D4 was similar.

I was going to go down the D5 route but there is only two of us and don't need all that space all the time. I was also down on the early lists and deposit for a Defender but decided against.

I think Ill keep this one another year or so then possibly look at a Defender 90 as some of the luxury is lost on me
