IMO only you can answer that one, but I'll say this: I think AULRO is very relevant because of the ubiquity of "social" media. Most sites they call social media, and as Tim says, most forums, have devolved into nothing more than background noise. Nobody really knows the other, and "friends" are not friends. I have recently spent a few months away from here. I was sorting some things out in my life and found it distracting. I met up with V8Ian about a month ago, and he suggested coming back. I said no. And then I remembered something; about five years ago I suffered a personal loss I struggled to cope with. I took the liberty of ranting about it here. The amount of support I got from people I had never personally met was overwhelming, and humbling. There is no way I would have received that on any other platform. Here, we can talk, joke, rib each other, and, as I discovered, reach out in time of need. I am not exaggerating when I say that AULRO was a part of what kept me alive. So, I realised that I missed this silly place. I currently do not have any working Land Rovers, but I still have friends. AULRO's relevance has only increased with time.

Absolutely not. Post them to me! No, of course you should fit 'em to the new one. Everything changes, everything moves on. I remember when the D3 was not a "proper" LR. When your new one starts to leak, or comes home on a tow truck, it'll fit right in
