Honest opinion - TR - absolute waste of time! sorry
overcomplicated to use, overcomplicated for reliability, too many blooming options."
Nice to see the old school still exist in Land Rover ownership.

I nearly got banned from one of the well known forums when I mentioned that I had bought the TDv6 and asked a few questions about the TR! Strange how you can always tell the guys who have never ever seen it, let alone used it! How they change once they have had a go with it though! It was the same with the Freelander1 - it would never catch on, it would never hack it offroad...................................... amazing how many of those Series Land Rover owners went out and bought one "just for the wife to drive" though

Strange too how often you see the same guys who appear to drive the wifey's car all the time.

What on earth is complicated about TR? Pressed the button down and then turn it to the right mode...... how much easier do they want it to be. Anyway you don't have to use the programmes if you don't want to, just engage Low box and drive offroad without the benefit of clever electronics, quite easy really but a bit pointless when your car has the technology available A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned

Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

I would take off the side steps too - if you bend one you stand a pretty good chance of damaging a door or two! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

I know but the wife's only 5'2 so she can't easily get in and out without them. I wanted to get some jackable sills but the only ones I've found are from the states and they are megabucks

Send the Mrs off to the local rack for stretching! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.
