England 2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Orkney Grey
New Discovery
Anyone seen the new Discovery yet? just been to drop the 110 down for its first mot and service and they have a nice cardboard box on display Shocked

However when putting on some clever 3d type goggles the box magically displays the new disco in all its 'glory'. Jolly clever technology, doors open, seats fold and its a complete walk around jobby. When the salesman lifted the box off the floor, it appeared he was lifting the complete car!

Worth a look if you are near a dealer, the kids will love it.

Tooling around in an ewok at the moment while they drain the brake fluid and dust the carpets off in the 110, might be keeping it over the weekend due to leaky swivel seals (the big shiny things fixed to the wheels, whatever the real name is)

Be interesting to try out the new car (just in case I win the lottery Laughing )

Salesman 'gutted' that they are stopping making the defender as his home dealership is mainly farmers, so his sales are going to be down by the sound of it Sad

I was at one of the launch events at Gleneagles.

As I told the LR dealer rep, all very nice but it is not a Discovery. At best it is a new Freelander, to my eyes it just looks like an elongated EWOK, which just looks like a L405 have someone has sat on.

Its either a large evoque or a smaller sport. Depends what mood you're in when you look at it Yawn If anything it should keep the 2nd hand Disco4 prices up although a lot of people seem to like the Vogue/Sport/Discovery/Evoque look!?

Have seen a few of them on the A350 in Wiltshire. It's used frequently by JLR as a test route for all of their products. I understood this was the car that replaced the Freelander and from the test mules I've seen I would have said it's definitely a lot closer in size to the Freelander than it is to the Discovery.
