Great Christmas present and a good way to run it in; enjoy the trip (lucky it wasn't Truro LR)! Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

No, couldnt add anyone to the 7 days LR insurance! Just have to wait till the 28th for my free half day in a D4! Oh, and Yeovil gave us a free half day as well, so we went for a Full Fat just for fun! Ben

What an awesome piece of kit
I thought the D3 was good but the D4 leaves you trying to workout why you would ever buy a FFRR.
Done 625 miles at av 36.2 mpg, drove it all day and sooooooooooo comfortable, no fatigue whatso ever.
Now it's back in snowy Scotland will see how it handles the snow and work out its limits.
From permafrost to permagrin 
Thanks to all at Yeovil Land Rover, especialy Ben and Hayley and TLO for sorting out the dog guard 
and the bonus is the FBH actualy works
Who needs to RTFM my 'co-pilot' was occupied nearly all the way back trying working out how everything works
forget RSE, just give 'em the manual.
Mind you he couldn't get my HTC HD2 to work thru' the car............fail!!!  Bazza M111
D4 11 MY HSE Stornoway
Defender 90 CSW (the one that gets very dirty....)
Lotus Elise (the one that is kept very clean....)

Great car. Looks like the population of SG D4's will be rocketing in Aberdeen as I collect mine on Monday!!
Will keep an eye out for you. Mine will have my plate on it so should be an easy spot!
