Leaving the fold
Well after 17 years Discovery ownership, 1997 D1 XS - 2006 D3 S and 2016 D4 Landmark I have just sold my last Landrover. Absolutely amazed to get £40k via Motorway as I wasn't trading it in for anything else. I really didn't think I would have got that sort of money back for it.
The garage that bought it have it listed for £47k if anyone is interested, although it must be the most expensive D4 in the country
Thanks for all the assistance that Forum members have given to me over the years, it has been invaluable at times. All the best for the future

Obvious question but what’s replacing it? You joining the Skoda or Volvo subsection?

Nothing is replacing it, that's why I didn't trade it in. My wife already had a brand new Kia with a 7 year warranty which she/we love. I only had the Landrovers for towing our caravan which due to health issues has also now gone.
When the time comes to replace the Kia it will be with another one, 7 year warranty and the family run dealership is just up the road from us, we know all the staff and have never had any issues with them

Are car prices on the rise again?
I get emails from Motorway regularly giving a valuation on the car and just recently it was up a few hundred pounds.

Well it didn't sit long in the garage, it sold 2 days ago, somebody got a lovely car albeit at a premium price.
Hi Kenny hope you are keeping well, at least you can relax now knowing you got through the crank issues. I enjoyed my trips up that way and meeting you and a few others from the board over the years.

Hi Mick
Nice to hear from you again Yes the crank issue was always at the back of my mind but I had the RAC Premium Plus extended warranty still on the car so at least I had a bit of peace of mind with that. Also got just over 1k refunded from them as I took out a 3 year warranty
Yes Kenny all good here, enjoying retirement now, getting out a lot with my camera's. I had a couple of days up there on my own two weeks ago, got as far as Eilean Donan Castle.
I was just camping in the car, was a nice break.
