Modern cars like my RangeRover Discovery have loads of whistles and bells, I seem to learn a new one every month.Comment

Re: The car of the future...
We have a Citroen Berlingo which is not overloaded with gismos, but has an electrical system I will not touch and a local garage does all the maintenance. In the past, I had an A30 with a speedometer and fuel gauge. A charging light and oil pressure light. I could repair anything on it. Is yours the Disco that you take the body off to replace the clutch? Me, no fan of gismos.Comment

8 speed flappy paddle auto, so probably way more complicated and expensive if there is a drive train problem.Originally posted by HairyDave View Post
Its ultra low mileage though less than 2000 miles per year of its life. I almost doubled it when I picked it up from the U.K., did a short trip to Shropshire then to Portsmouth-Santander by ferry and a final drive to Costa Blanca.
And yes, it’s a LHD.
Its going touring Ireland next year, so still more mileage.Comment

They are a lovely vehicle but I still prefer simple, hence 1800 Marlin Roadster and '58 S1 petrol Landrover.Comment

I have a very high tech mirror to tell me when my trailer is attached!Comment

A rear facing camera, that shows me the hitch relative to the tow ball helps a great deal.
The mirrors don’t do that!Comment
