Hi everyone, I have just taken delivery of a 2012 SD4 S, automatic, here in Abruzzo, Italy. (Not sure if the basic S is available in the UK with the SD4 spec?) Very pleased so far, four river crossings this morning and a very steep rutted muddy hill. The lovely white bodywork already needs a good clean! Anyone else out there with a Freelander in this neck of the woods? |

Hi Splash, welcome to the Forum. Rivers, mud and with a white car? You will be cleaning it all the time!

Thank you for the welcome Dunkley201. Couldn't buy a black one...they get too hot in the Summer! Anyway, its when you clean them that you really get to see any faults etc. . I saw elsewhere that a UK LR dealer had quoted £800 to install a towbar. I have had the same rip off quote here, Eu 1000. I guess I will be sourcing the kit I need from the Uk. |

Taztastic....yes, the wine from this area is superb, the oive oil too. However, the fuel and autostrada costs are pretty heavy, Eu 1.76 a litre here today for diesel....cheaper to fly with sleazy jet and handcarry back here. Do you know this part of Italy? Perfect for offroading. |

Sadly, Italy is one country I have little experience of.

Hello and welcome. This is quite normal. Just leave the disc in and if it is a genuine decent disc it will update the system for you. It normally takes about 15 minutes but can sometimes take longer. John

Hi JST. Thank you for your welcome and reply. Your solution worked perfectly and you saved me a trip to the dealer. It took about 13 mins. Many thanks.
