Top rig CGM. Did you buy a white one so you could stick big black friesian patches on the sides ?

dude, mr. moo, that is an awesome land rover. what year is it and how much does that thing cost to keep up???
I hear servicing costs are about average but the top-up oil costs balloon... due to leaks!
They don't leak, just mark their territory. I got a white one because it's easier to match sealant after it rains....
This one is a 2012 model. Even got electric windows! It's a bit higher than the Discovery so I'm trying to fingure out how to keep the hight down and get the AI up top. Worst case I'll bung the roof basket ontop the bars and get a step ladder
before selling it and moving to japan i had a lexus LS430 that had air ride suspension and i was able to find a controller (asc680) that plugged into the factory controls and allowed me to fully adjust the factory air ride suspension. it allowed me to put the car about 2" from touching the ground, or i could raise it about 18" off the ground. i wonder if they make anything like this for your ride as it would be as easy as touching a button and then your car would be about a 1-2' lower depending on suspension travel.

Actually the Range Rovers and Discoveries also made by Land Rover have had refinements such as height adjustment for many many years. Might find they were one of the first in the SUV market. And they come with automatic gearbox.....
They just didn't add these to their little blue collar sibling the Defender. He was expected to go out and earn a living
When I got the Discovery II is was bagged at the time because of all the computers installed. Now everything else has caught up and got them installed. I wouldn't have moved from a Discovery to Defender a few years ago but they really have added some nice modern features now.
And bit like an AI they can turn heads and stop people to have a chat. The chick at the plywood store this morning liked it
Bit like a Yellow AI really
