Sad news

These magazines are not cheap and as suggested with the ubiquitous internet discussion groups providing often instant answers and how to's I am surprised that these magazines have continued for as long as they have. I often pick one or two up in Smiths have a flick through but never purchase.

I wonder if people who have a subscription will get any money back. Common sense isn't very common.

I think that LRO became irrelevant to most LR owners hence the falling numbers of purchasers. I have been driving LRs since 2000 and do much of my own spannering (changing wishbones out this weekend). Used to purchase 2 or three LR mags a months when I had the Freelanders in the hope that they covered something of interest, stopped soon after I bought the first Disco Sport.

What use is a LR magazine to a Disco Sport owner if the newest model that it features is a Disco 3? and most of its pages are focused on the Defender - a car that went out of production 7 years ago.

Still buy 2 or 3 magazines a month, either motorbike related or car mechanics. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Is this the same mag as the lnternational one. That,s the one i use but tends to cover more articles on the defender than the freelander.

Used to subscribe to both LRO and LRM but they are full of the same adverts and fairly repetitive in their content. I really liked the classic LR articles but preferred LRM.
Haven't bought one in ages. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS.
2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone)
1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy)

Yeah. I've been a subscriber for around 20+ years.
The final straw was the Covid excuse for the mag effectively shrinking to half it's pages whilst the price crept ever higher.

Never bought any LR magazines. But then I am new to Land Rovers anyway, 2014. The last car magazine I bought must be at least 3 decades ago. The last magazine of any kind, probably a house magazine for renovation ideas, would be about 2 decades ago. Haven't even bothered looking at them in newsagents for well over a decade. I just let the mechanic fix the car. Actually the mechanic only had to change filters, fluids, brake discs once & not much more for the pads. I have changed the car battery, the only difficulty there is not putting your back out. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I,ve subscribed to both since 2004. Back then thre also was Landrover Enthusiast.
Which to me the best one. 17 years on Disco 1and 2, so they were,nt too bad.
I had written to LRO about lack of articles on the Freelander 2.
Rely on this site now for information etc.
D2 boys club is very similar to the guys on here.
