If it has it's died on both sides!

I still love my FL2 - in fact I'll be keeping it for a few more years yet as there's nothing else out there which really takes my fancy. But when it comes to choosing a new car I'm not going to buy whatever LR are offering me, at whatever price they may put on it. I will evaluate all the options available, and then choose the one which suits me best, whatever its make. And if for the same money I get the choice of a 4-cyl, 2-litre, Haldex car, or a 3-litre, V6, 'proper' 4WD system with low range, etc, well, the choice is easy! (Yep - keep the FL )

I too am not planning to change. My present FL2 is with me for the long term. Nothing to do with the DS. Just pure economics. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

08 FL2 TD4 SE Manual in Rimini Red (Now Gone)

Well if you do go down the 3.0 V6 and want the Low Range, look to get an older one or one that had the option ticked when it went down the line.

I think an older FFRS is next for me... if any thing more a change....

In this case the 3.0 V6 would be more likely to have a VW badge on the back! Touareg Escape, £44K. OK, I think it's an electrically-engaged low gear rather than a proper low range, but it's still more than the DS gets!

But, as I say, for the foreseeable future I'm sticking with the FL2.

Are the first couple of gears on the 9 speed box not equivalent to low range?
