so having done my usual and bought a Freelander then been tempted elsewhere im moving up into a Disco 4 this Friday. Needed the extra space after recent trips away highlighted the need for trailer and roof box to just about cope with all the gear.

RogB, will the roof bars fit a FL2 with a sunroof? -------------------------------------------------------------
1965 Series IIa Safari LWB White - gone
1982 RR 2 door Sahara dust - gone
2000 Freelander 1 3 door white gold - gone
1995 Discovery 1 200Tdi Biaritz Blue - gone
2009 FL2 TD4 HSE Stornoway Grey

should do, there appears to be enough clearance for the roof to operate but i cant guarantee it without them actually being fitted.

this is the link to them which doesnt mention pano roof or not.

according to that they should be no problem on yours

Thanks RogB. Are they the ones with the aluminium bars are T-track system? -------------------------------------------------------------

yes, they are T bar, with complete rubber strips, lockable covers and 2 keys.

they just have a few squashed flies over them that need to be cleaned off

Wasn’t so long ago a 3 door Evoque was adequate for you Rog

All the best with the D4 we’ve got 2 in the family  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

yeh i have a bit of short attention span

3 door Evoque was great and i did love it, but couldnt have done what ive done this year where even the Freelander wasnt big enough.
Couple that with my brand new mountain bike being hit and run on the rack on the back of the FL2 resulting in £120 damage to the bike and some minor damage to the bumper,
The D4 will swallow the bike whole, and still have plenty of room.

I plan to fit an awning and other bits, and maybe a secondary battery for trips away with the option to sleep in the back (im too tall for a FL2 boot ) , so i can just finish work and disappear for the weekend, maybe even up to your neck of the woods Ed

Will you still pop in to see us Rog?



 If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Freelander 2 HSE auto 2014 ( Florrie ) ..... Try again.
Freelander 2 GS 2012...... Gone.

I've been tempted myself by a D4 Rog , how does it compare to the SD4 FL2 ?

Mark 2009 FL2 TD4 SE (Sadly gone)
2007 FL2 TD4 GS (The wifes , gone after 8 great years)
2012 FL2 SD4 SPORT LE(Gone and missing it)
2015 DISCOVERY SPORT 2.2SD4 HSE (Now gone)
2014 Ford Bmax 1.0 ecoboost ( Gone but what next )
2014 Ford Focus 2.0tdci Zetec S (Gone,but what a car)
2020 Ford Fiesta ActiveX 1.0 Ecoboost
2024 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5 Tsi SEL

Yep I'll still be gobbling off on here.

I pick up the D4 this friday. SDV6 XS with the 8 speed box.

They drive superb. Really smooth ride on the air suspension, and obviously bags of room. The 3.0 V6 pulls like a train with minimal effort.

They have their common problems just like FL2 but its LR so you kinda expect that.

Crank comes to mind

You won’t be disappointed Rog only thing that made me take the FL2 over a new D4 was that I wanted a manual LR!

If your up my way gives a shout  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

D4 crank or FL2 diff, haldex and stutter? ..... you takes your chances

Will do Ed. I'll be looking for fields to pitch up on

bump

all now removed from car and ready to sell

postage at extra cost (except for the trailer )

all prices are sensibly negotiable as they will just take up space in the garage

Hi
Where are you? Could be interested in dog guard.
Thanks Rob
