I'll stick around, it's a nice place.

It's ok. Ian will probably still talk to you....

No spares, in shed (no shed). What I took off the car that I wasn't keeping has already found a new home.

I will have a Nanacom up for sale, as soon as I find all the cables. Moved house a couple of months ago, still finding stuff.

Wouldn't call it an abonination, just different.

Have a nice clean, low(ish) km 2018 Isuzu Dmax dual cab.

I will certainly miss the Discovery, and I did look at a few D4, but........ as I said, practicalities and economics.

I sincerely hope that you and that abominable 6 speed auto trans (shared with Prado, Hilux, Musso and others) can live with each other.

I had a new 2019 MuX and only for 12 months because the tranny could never decide exactly which gear it was in.
Gave me the proverbial so much I got rid of it.

Wouldn't hit 6th until about 90 kph; my D4 is in 8th at 80 kph and approx 1150 rpm.

Probably got spoilt as I came from a 2009 TDV8 RRS.

Thanks, so about $22,000 - but given how much late-model D4s have dropped in price in the last two years it'd be lineball whether you'd replace an engine if it blew up.

It’s absolutely mental LR does not have a supply of short blocks available for the 2.7 and 3.0. The additional cost of each one would have been a few hundred dollars
