Mrs mik has a Disco 4 HSE, which replaced a Disco3.

I don't understand the concept of buying a Defender (or anything defender based)? Obviously if you are buying a 15yr old car - fine. But to buy such old technology as a new purchase today just baffles me.

We did the LR Experience a few years back too, and the instructors confirmed the Defenders weren't used on a number of the sections as they couldn't match the tech-assisted capability of the current cars (which was mind-blowing incidentally).

Agreed, I did the LRE at Gaydon a few weeks back and have to say I was impressed with what the new stuff can do.

What about the one up the hill with a blind left hand turn at the top and a bridge just the width of the track width? Thanks God for TV screens and cameras.

Urban Truck do some lovely work and I did look at them before deciding to go to another specialist, but they didn't have a suitable base vehicle at the time.

We are about to start doing the final modifications on our interior and I am talking to them about some of their upgrades.

The reason you was probably told that is they make very little money selling defenders compared to the others and the warranty claims on Defenders are prob on everyone sold .
