Got to say I feel the Disco 3 is the ultimate LR. An off-road monster with a nice interior, combined with epic load carrying, all wrapped in the perfect boxy utilitarian aesthetics.
At their price you sorta wonder why people bother with Defenders.

I quite fancied a Disco 3 / 4 - they look aces, carry nearly everything and can go almost anywhere in luxury. Was only put off by the fiendish complexity and rep for mechanical seppuku of the older ones. They're dead cool though.
Love my new van. Murmered out to the high desert last weekend at 85 with a 300lb motorbike on the back and still sipped the gas. Amazing given it's a 6lt V8 - the new ones are definitely pretty clever. It looks very boring, so I am going to call it Van Halen.

Missed this.
It’s a TDV6 SE. I thought about auto, but got scared.
In other news, the fact the standard radio unit had an Aux button on it but no obvious way to input anything into the aux channel made me think there must be an auxiliary input somewhere. I eventually found it next to the backseat cigarette charger hole thingy. So can now run Spotify/BBC sounds from my iPhone via the Aux channel, Which is great, cos I can’t really be fucked to have a new stereo fitted. Should have just googled it.
Today I had one full 56cm bike in the back stood vertically, four 1.5m x 1.5m paintings, and two framesets with loadsa room to spare. Took a photo of it loaded, but the bikes are under embargo til the weekend, so can’t post yet.
Nicked the thru axle mount of my seasucker, and screwed it straight into the back of the right hand rear seat to hold a bike firmly in place without any faff. Works a treat.
