New Disco owner!
New to me that is:-)
I've just become the new owner of an 05 TDV6 S Automatic with 97k on the clock in Tonga Green, I couldn't be more happy! Moved from a Mkii Santa Fe, the difference is unreal...
I've got loads of questions, many of which have already been answered by reading the forum for the last couple of days, it looks like a great resource.
I've just got to decide whether or not to shell out for a warranty and find a good local garage and I'm sorted.
Anyway, here's a rubbish photo of it...

It must have been, I've just looked outside at it now and it's sat much higher. That pic was from the seller, maybe he had it set to access mode? Not sure if it's programmed to lower when it's unlocked, I can't say I've noticed it??? I might have a fiddle with the settings and see what's what, maybe reset everything to standard if I can and then have a play...is access mode that useful?

The Kielder Safari looks class Dan, I expect my Pirelli Scorpion Zeros won't be up to the task though! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for some spare boots
