Spotted Russben, we think? Pegleg and I, we were coming out of Windermere at 13:30 today as be was heading in, loads of other Freelanders knocking around too

Yes, that would have been me. I must have seen you as I look at most FL2s (as well as RRSs). Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

We passed on the roundabout into Windermere that you can turn off and go over Kirkstone Pass, the town was very busy.

Nice reg plate

We drove up to Beatrix Potters house & Wray Castle after Windermere. Car was a joy to drive over those roads. The reg was a birthday present from my wife. Yes I know I'm a very lucky boy, so much so that I'm off to look at an RRS now.  Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

Which dealer do you use?
I can speak highly of Hunters in Garstang, been very good with me and nothing any trouble, I think Giles is the RR man there, he has been with them over 30 years and knows his stuff.

watch the brakes pads mind. ours has eaten a set in a year, 10,000 miles ish, unless the brake warning light is regarding some other fault. service tommorrow.

this brake issue is mainly due to the car being driven as it should be , and possibly because its Mrs Georges first ever auto car At work

I use Hunters too. Only downside is they tend to be about £3000 overpriced on their RRSs compared to other dealers on the LandRover used car search (for a comparable car). I think all autos wear brakes quicker than manuals & the RRS is a heavy car, but 10,000 miles is a bit quick. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

new pads fitted yesterday, discs are barely touched so no need for them changed, seems to me it had some dodgy pads fitted last time??, they worked very well though, I guess we will have to see how this set wear.

dealer threw in a free brightly coloured bag for the locking wheel nut, more for their convenience than mine. I would say.

great service at Ripon I must add, as usual. and a brand new fl2 auto as a courtesy car At work

Didn't buy the RRS. Very, very, very poor spray job down the nearside. I could've done a better job with a spray can. I wondered why it was reasonably priced.

The search continues.... Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!
