VX/VK generally indicate mules and Press fleet. No idea why they use those prefixes....probably just to annoy Vauxhall Interestingly, the engine in this particular model is a 2.0 Petrol turbo......HotFire unit on test perhaps?? Foraging near Gaydon.... MY13 HSE Lux SD4, Baltic Blue - current, 30,000> miles without fault MY12 HSE 2.2 SD4, Sumatra Black - gone after 10 months/43,000 fault-free miles |

Interesting Car Magazine article suggests the new baby Discovery will be revealed in late 2014.

It also says the new car won't benefit from the new engines until later in its life cycle 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200 |

I would take it all with a pinch of salt until we actually see the finished car. Even if we see the car next year, doesn't mean it will be on sale next year.

Mmmmm not sure if I agree with you on the engine Mav, the current engine is well proven, it's failings are known, what happens if the new engine turns out to be a Lemon. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

The only "old" engine that is worth buying is the sdv6. If they fit the sdv6. the 2.2 diesel and the 2.0 ecoboost are not worthy of a MY2015 car.

Thats a very good point! The new one could be a lemon, but somehow I doubt it. The money and people that have been invested in this in my opinion would not allow failure! Don't get me wrong, the current engines are fantastic, but I think it would be a backward step for a new car. My main point is emissions etc, the 2.2 TD4 is not exactly the cleanest engine when compared to other premium brand offerings. So the new car will be expected to have much lower emissions than the current car, so can LR do this with the current engine? I remember when the 3rd Generation Vectra was launched in 2002. For the first 20 months, it had the old 2.0 and 2.2 DTi engines. They were good and reliable but very old, then when the newer much better 1.9 CDTi's came out in early 2004 the car was in a different league. The the cars with the older engines de-valued like a rocket. OK, Vauxhall is not a premium brand like LR but it's all relative. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.
